About

 A little more about us...

Cindy is a practicing but semi-retired Canadian Veterinarian with over 30 years experience primarily working with dogs, cats and small furries (rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, etc). As a senior veterinarian in a large 24 hour community and emergency hospital, I have dedicated my life's work to providing absolutely the best care for my patients. I am very lucky to have formed many long term relationships with my pet parents and I have been able to look after generations of pets within the same family. I also have extensive experience working with most farm animals. For more on this, have a look at the generous comments from my clients in the Testimonials page.

Mike is recently retired and spent most of his career as a professional at the Canadian head office of a large multi-national company in Toronto. He also worked with the Canadian Coast Guard Search & Rescue. Growing up in the country he has had dogs and cats his entire life. Mike is an animal lover who enjoys going on long hikes with dogs and quality snuggle time with cats. 


We consider ourselves to be reliable and dedicated caretakers, and want you to feel confident that your pets and home are well cared for as you pursue your own travels. While we ourselves enjoy travel, we recognize that we have a responsibility to ensure your pets and home are our primary focus while house sitting. We have completed over ten pet sits through the Trusted House Sitter Platform, with 5 star reviews from all our pet friends - please see our reviews at Trusted House Sitters or here on the Reviews page. 

We have been married for over 20 years, and have owned our home over the same time. We consider ourselves friendly and very polite (we are Canadian after all!), and we are both non-smokers. We are tech savy and diligent about sending daily updates and photos during our sits using any number of communication channels.

Our two passions are pets and travel. We have always had dogs and cats over the years, and while we do not consider ourselves crazy dog/cat people, others may... We have been fortunate to have visited over 60 countries and territories around the world, with some of the spots we’ve visited highlighted in the Google Map below…
