Als Paar/Duo
We are an active, retired American couple who have called Portugal our home for the past seven years. Clyde was a firefighter and paramedic in Corpus Christi, TX for 30 years. Although he loved his job he always dreamed of retiring early, but with the high cost of life in the US we had to find a better way. So, in 2011 we said, "adios" to our friends and grown kids and moved abroad to Panama. We enjoyed life in Panama for five years, studied Spanish and travelled through South and Central America. Then one day we took our first ever trip to Europe that proved to be a gamechanged. We returned to Panama as changed people who longed to see more of the world, but lacked the resources to make it happen. Then a friend suggested we try house and pet sitting and within a few weeks we were off on our first sit in Mexico. The following month was spent in Costa Rica and then Ecuador. We were hooked! House and pet sitting was fun and really could make all of our travel dreams come true, while making new friends, both the furry kind and their owners, along the way.
Crazy as it sounds, we decided to sell our house in Panama fully furnished and left with just two carry on sized suitcases each. For the next two years we lived rent free around the world as international house and pet sitters. Our nine years of house sitting has taken us to exotic destinations like Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Egypt, Europe, the United Kingdom, South and Central America and more. Our exceptional 5-star reviews attest to our dedication to take care of your animals to the best of our ability while keeping your home neat, tidy and safe in your absence.
If you choose us to come give belly rubs, walks and cuddles to your fur babies you will return home to happy pets and a perfectly clean home.
Clyde is comfortable caring for sick animals or administering medication if necessary. He is handy around the house should a small problem arise and will be quick to respond. I'm a self proclaimed neat freak who loves to keep our temporary home tidy, and always we go above and beyond what is expected from us as house sitters.
We both adore animals and since we no longer have any of our own we get our animal fix by taking care of yours. House sitting is a win-win for both parties. Your pets are allowed to remain in the comfort of their home, with temporary parents caring for them. For us, it's given us the opportunity to explore the world with little money, but a lot of desire, and to live like locals along the way.

It was a real pleasure meeting Terry and Clyde! Our dog has been really well looked after and seemed to like them very much. When we came home everything was so clean and tidy, a real pleasure! They even rearranged their bedroom. The fact it's an attic room made it a little bit difficult for tall people to move around, and they imagined a much more convenient position for the furniture. Great, guys! It'll remain that way, so much better! Thank you. We would be happy to welcome them any time and wish them much fun for their next homesits. It's just a pity they didn't stay a while longer when we returned, we would have enjoyed spending more time in their company, but they still have so much left to discover... We heartily recommend them as home/dog sitters. Do not hesitate! Une belle et agréable rencontre. Terry et Clyde sont des gens charmants, ils se sont parfaitement occupés de notre chien et la maison était dans un état impeccable à notre retour. Le chien était parfaitement à l'aise avec eux et les appréciait beaucoup. Ils ont même réaménagé leur chambre à coucher (mansardée) d'une manière beaucoup plus agréable et pratique. Nous conserverons d'ailleurs cette nouvelle disposition des meubles. Merci à eux. Nous aurions volontiers passé un peu plus de temps en leur compagnie mais ils ont encore tellement de pays et de lieux à découvrir. Nous leur souhaitons le meilleur et beaucoup de plaisir pour leurs prochains séjours. Nous serions heureux de les accueillir à nouveau s'ils le souhaitent. Nous les recommandons sans la moindre hésitation

What can we say! Clyde and Terry are ‘The’ prefect house and pet sitters. This amazing couple ‘travelling the world pet sitting’ have a wealth of experience and some amazing stories. We felt happy when we skype interviewed them and even more delighted when we met them. We know our dogs and cats were well looked after and loved whilst we took our vacation. In fact we can honestly say that the dogs missed Clyde and Terry after they left! Our villa was also immaculately clean and tidy when we returned home. What more can one ask! In the short time we spent with them before and after the sit, we also know we have made new friends….we are hoping to arrange another sit with them in the future. Have no hesitation in asking them to sit for you!

Terry and Clyde are the perfect house sitters. They have a loving way with the animals, kept the house in perfect order - as much as this is possible in our house ;-) , were interested to get to know the city, the area and the customs of Valencia. Being very experienced in this "profession" they also have quite a few stories to tell from their world trips, yet they're also excellent listeners (I tend to tell too much stories...) Yet they are also able to "disappear into the background" when needed, for instance so we could perform our work during the days we were together. I can fully recommend them, and would immediately have them back here again.
