favoriteWhy we love house sitting

Because we are always on the move, we do not get to have pets of our own, so we cherish these opportunities to feel at home away from home!

Hi! We are adventure-seeking nomads who love to surf, snowboard and play outside! We have been traveling together for 6 years now, running our own businesses and capturing our experiences through videography and photography. Emma is a functional nutritionist who specializes in gut health, hormone balancing, and autoimmunity, while TJ films surfing, snowboarding, sail races, and various other freelance work. We love to meet new people, enjoy great food, and explore!

As for house care, I am very organized and clean (some might say OCD), and I am a plant enthusiast, so making sure your plants are healthy and taken care of will be my pleasure. I have been house sitting via the Trusted House Sitters app for the last 2 years and have maintained a 5 star review.

Review

Emma and TJ were absolute lifesavers offering to look after our pets and house while we were away. Having a new young kitten and knowing she would be looked after, alongside the other animals was such a relief. We received messages and photo updates, and the pets were certainly well loved like their own. The house was left immaculate, plants watered, and the pets didn't even notice we were gone. We would happily invite Emma and TJ back any time!

Happy pets!

A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
