We are an artist couple that between artist residencies and exhibitions likes to housesit. Russell grew up in New Zealand on his parents little farm and misses being around pets, while Branwen hails from the Bavarian countryside where she reigned over a menagerie of animals and a sprawling garden.
Good with all kind of animals, have ranch housesits under our belt, are excellent gardeners and able to take care of your yard and indoor plants.We are currently based in California, have 2 cars (so parking spots are very appreciated), work at least part time and do need to be able to focus on our work, so can unfortunately not accommodate pets that need 100% attention like puppies sometimes do), but are good at administering medications and looking after older and ailing pets. We also do need to be able to be away from the animals for longer periods ( ~6 hrs) at a time for work, to attend to errands or explore, but also happy to occassionally take dogs with us if they're good at being in the car. Apologies in advance for being so specific, but we do want to be a good fit! But it's on a case by case basis, so let's talk.
We are available to do very remote housesits as well as ones in cities. If you would like to see our s: russell_dammers and maison_wigwam
