We will take care of a house and any surrounding property. Having both grown up on a farm, we are very familiar with the responsibility required to care for house, feed and water farm animals, yard, garden, pastures, barn, etc... We have 2 dogs, an 11 year old female Golden Retriever and a 2 year old male Corgi. Both of the dogs are fixed and current on all shots. They get along with all dogs and know to avoid cattle and horses. They are our traveling companions and we would prefer to bring them with us to any assignment. We hope you will consider us to care for your pet(s)/farm animals and property when seeking housesitters.

Gennie and Frank were wonderful house sitters. They took care of issues- like a leaky toilet, And even painted my deck! And they gave me a fresh set of eyes as to things to do around the area. They’re enthusiasm for finding adventure was remarkable. And their two dogs and my dog out along just fine.! I give them my full recommendation.!
We absolutely loved hosting Gennie and Frank, and we feel as if we and our two little dogs have made some new friends. I reached out to them on this site, and from our very first interactions, I knew they would enjoy a trip to the Northwest to look after our home and dogs for a 2-week stay. Their kindness, flexibility when plans changed, and positive energy were great to see. They enjoyed exploring our part of the world to the fullest, and kept the dogs safe and entertained the whole time. The ...

We appreciate you two more than you'll ever know! 5 stars all around.

Frank and Gennie were awesome! Excellent communication from the start. This was our first time using House Sitters, and they put any concerns we had at ease and made the whole process comfortable and completely unproblematic. We had daily updates about our farm animals with pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing everyone was well taken care of. They had no problems taking care of our small herd of goats, donkeys, chickens and pigs. Their dogs were very well behaved (and adorable)! ... MoreFrank and Gennie were awesome!

They had no problems taking care of our small herd of goats, donkeys, chickens and pigs. Their dogs were very well behaved (and adorable)! Our home was very well taken care of by Frank and Gennie. Everything was exactly as we left it and clean. They are warm and friendly, and also professional in regards to taking their sits seriously. If I could give them 100 stars I would! Can’t say enough good things about them both.

Thanks so much for sharing your farm with us!
These two wonderful humans were fantastic! Great communication before and during their stay. Text updates on my pooch were really sweet. Very responsible souls. Left the house in great condition. Took care of everything. I felt very comfortable being away! Greatly enjoyed getting to know Gennie and Frank! And their two pooches were so easy going. My girl Zippy loved playing with their Corgi, Toby. Beyond highly recommend them! It was a win/win, for sure! If they house sit for you, ... MoreThese two wonderful humans were fantastic!

Gennie &Frank farmsat with their two easygoing dogs. They arrived a day early to get instruction and introduce their dogs to ours- all became great friends. Managing our beef cattle, sheep, horses, dogs and cats went very well. They drove the tractor and 4 wheeler to do watering. They did some additional weed wacking, mowing and tiding up. They were very good at asking questions and communication including sending photos of how things were going. They gracefully handled the work and adapted as ...

They were very good at asking questions and communication including sending photos of how things were going. They gracefully handled the work and adapted as farmers do when not everything goes according to the plan. They handled rotational grazing moving temporary fences with electricity, kept the animals safe and made sure all had food and water. Our hard work paid off preparing &explain everything while we went overseas with limited internet. Great job
