About My Business

We are a long-married, professional couple specializing in dependable long-term house and pet sitting. Now retired, we have the flexibility to plan extended stays and be fully present providing steady, consistent care that allows your home and pets to maintain their normal routine without disruption. Over the past several years, we have earned multiple five-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters, reflecting our reliability, professionalism, and the trust homeowners place in us.

We treat every property with the highest level of respect and responsibility. Your home will remain clean, secure, organized, and well cared for at all times. We provide attentive daily household oversight, bring in mail and packages, water indoor and outdoor plants, and ensure everything runs smoothly while you are away. Our approach is proactive, detail-oriented, and consistently professional.

We genuinely love animals and understand they are family. We provide attentive, structured, and affectionate care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs whether that includes regular walks, playtime, medication administration, or simply calm companionship and reassurance.

We communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates and photos so you can travel with complete confidence. Our standard is simple: you return to a secure, well-maintained home and pets who are happy, settled, and exceptionally well cared for.

What my clients say:

"Chris and Jill did a fantastic job of taking care of Mulligan for 1 month. They alerted us with all issues that came up that needed to be addressed. Communicated with us very well. The house was in perfect condition when we returned. We would have them back anytime they are available.

"Chris and Jill are a dream team and would welcome them back any time!

Their communication before and during the sit were excellent and my dogs were clearly well cared for and loved while we were away. All three dogs settled in with them immediately :) Our home was spotless upon our return and equally cared for.

Daily updates were sent as requested and showed how happy my trio were the entire time - thank you Chris and Jill!!

"When we had our initial conversation with Chris and Jill, concerning this past first set, and when they applied for a future set as well, we were confident that they would be a good sit fit. Now that they have sat for an entire month for us we know we made the right decision to sign them up for the future sits as well . Their care for our home and our pet was incredible! When we returned to our home, it was like they have staged the house, and even the cupboards,as if for a real estate showing! "
