Trusted, mature couple providing full‑time care, precise
routines, and tech‑savvy home security oversight for extended winter sits.
About Us
We are Robert and Marie, a mature, reliable married couple
who specialize in quiet, extended winter house sits along the Southern
California coast. We love being near the ocean and are especially interested in
homes on the beach or within walking distance of the beach.
We bring a calm, steady presence and treat every home with
the same care and respect we give our own. When we accept a sit, we live in
your home full‑time for the entire duration of your trip. Full‑time presence
means we reside in your home and maintain a steady, reliable presence, while
still enjoying normal short outings for meals, errands, or long walks during
the day.
We are also completely comfortable with background checks,
and we understand that trust and transparency matter when you’re opening your
home to someone new.
