Brrr... Not all of our assignments are in tropical locations.
This is why Canadians are always talking about the weather!

A little bit about who we are...
Laurie and Todd are a non-smoking, healthy, active Canadian Couple who have been partners for more than 25 years.
Some may consider us "old-fashioned", but we pride ourselves on being very honest, dependable people. We are both highly conscientious individuals with high standards of accountability wrapped in one fun-loving package. Both of us are gregarious by nature and possess a strong work ethic. Although doing the right thing is not always the easiest choice, we were raised to believe that it is important to do what is right!
Laurie has an amazingly acute eye for detail and a keen intuition when dealing with all personality types. She worked for the same company for 20 years as a sales and staff supervisor.
A true "people person", Todd has a "jack-of-all-trades" sensibility and diverse work history, his skillset includes a solid mechanical aptitude, good technical skills and his experience includes work as a security guard. He is also a self described automotive enthusiast ("Car Nut"!)
Our interests include exercise, long walks, bicycling, gardening, landscaping, reading, photography and preparing our own special meals together. Our motto is Live, Laugh & Love!

Why we want to house-sit for you
Having recently sold our own home and taken sabbatical from our work, we plan to travel and experience living in different places, while making new friends along the way. We truly enjoy offering other people the peace-of-mind to leave their worries on their doorstep as they set out on their own adventures.
Relevant Experience/ What do we bring to your assignment
Thus far, our house-sitting experience has included assignments in Canada, USA, Belize, Costa Rica and Malaysia.
As home owners ourselves we understand the requirements involved in caring for a residence. Our home was awarded "best yard" for it's curb appeal in our community multiple times. We both very much enjoyed looking after our own yard, and now, we love to stay busy maintaining the lawns and gardens that we visit on our adventures.
We are extremely conscientious people. Our goal, if possible, is to always leave your property in better condition than when we arrived. We hope to exceed your expectations when it comes to caring for your home.

Visiting and living in Belize for 4+ months proved to be an excellent experience for us.
We are currently on assignment in Malaysia until early 2017. If you would like to discuss the differences of living in a hot, humid environment during the rainy season vs a cold,dry Canadian winter, just ask!
