Are you looking for a trusted house sitter to look after your home and pets while you’re away? You’ve found the right person.
I’m a writer by trade, and I travel extensively. I started as a house sitter more than a decade ago by taking care of the homes and pets of friends and family. It has now become a lifestyle that allows me to travel while working online.
Running a writing/consulting business on the road means I have to be very responsible and dependable — which applies equally to pet and house sitting. I’m active and walk and cycle as much as I can.
Available: after April 1, 2025
What I offer:
– Care for your home and love for your pets
– Regular house and yard maintenance
– The ability to take care of minor problems
– Direct contact with as many references as you’d like
– Quiet, non-smoker who works from home
– Regular reports
– Canadian citizen, spotless record, clean driving record
As for me, my needs are basic. Dependable internet access and the ability to walk/cycle for groceries if a car is unavailable. My preference is for longer house sits, but I will consider short ones if I’m available/in the area.
Many of my sits are for repeat clients, and they can attest to my skills and trustworthiness.
I am always available by email, phone, or Skype should you want to discuss a potential sit. Contact me for references, and I will put you in direct contact with homeowners I’ve worked with.
If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, respectful, trustworthy, and an animal lover, you’ve found him!

We've known Doug for over 15 years. In that time he looked after our place on a few
occasions when we were away. He's very conscientious, respectful of property and
other's spaces. He's an ideal candidate in my opinion.

While I was on extended business trips (and once for a vacation) Doug kept the place clean and tidy, managed any regular chores and took in and sorted my mail. Fortunately, there were no security issues during those times, but it was good to know he was there. I’ve known Doug for many years and he was a natural choice for this. He’s responsible, secure, mature, and trustworthy. I’m certain anyone requiring housesitting services will be pleased with the results.
