We are reliable international house-sitters for people who are looking for a couple to look after their home and pets. Our careers involve writing and speaking as well as international travel. While travelling we have found that we can create a win-win situation: owners get a well-educated, trustworthy couple who are capable of looking after their property and pets, and we get a place to stay and write.

Who are we?

Graham is 63 years old, from the UK, and an award-winning lighting designer, famous for bringing out the true spirit of the majestic cathedrals of England through his innovative lighting (www.gpld.co.uk). In 2006 and 2007 he was President of the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) based in Chicago (www.iald.org). He is now invited to international conferences, to speak about his experience and his ideas. After 20 years in the field, he recently made a shift into writing, passing on his secrets to those that come after him.

Cheta Urmila is 48 years old, from the Netherlands, and has been working as an auditor for a supermarket chain. She is in the process of writing about her life in a variety of ways. She has experience as a house-sitter and, in earlier years, had a business looking after animals for people. She understands what people expect from sitters.

Both of Graham and Cheta Urmila crew as volunteers on a regular basis with Anthony Robbins at his life changing events, and are Senior Leaders in his organisation.

What do we offer?

Next to our respective careers, during our lives we have gained some practical skills that may be of additional benefit to house owners, such as electrical and general maintenance skills and certified house pet caretaker (dogs, cats, parrots, rabbits, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters etc.).

Our main goal, beyond looking after your property and pets, is to provide a space to develop our careers, we are not house-sitting to have a holiday.
