Kristyn & David Mitchell

We are the Mitchell family from Central California. David is a professor of Physics and Astronomy at Cal Poly, California State University. Kristyn has her Masters in Teaching and is homeschooling our daughter, Irene(15). Irene loves swimming, volunteering at our local cat shelter, performing with her drama program and taking care of our cat, a rescued Flamepoint Siamese, Olaf. Since our return from Aussie House Sitters, Irene has started her own local business of walking neighborhood dogs and pet sitting in California.

We enjoyed traveling and visiting New Zealand & Australia in 1994 and planned an extensive holiday in 2022 & 2023. We puppy sat in Melbourne and Sydney during our time in Australia. We really appreciate having the comfort of home while traveling and the flexibility pet sitting provided.

We come with references and look forward to continuing our experiences. We are a non smoking, educated, organized, clean, and animal loving, calm family that loves playing board games, movie nights, going for walks, and spending time reading on a couch with our cat snuggled on our lap. We own a two story three bedroom home near the Pacific Ocean with a beautiful yard that we manage and landscape. We are close to walking paths, a beach, and a community that supports our family and our values. Family is important to us, and if 2020 taught us anything, it taught us how important time together is to be considered a top value.

My husband's University has granted him an additional quarter of time to travel and we have chosen Australia, once again.

We would be honored if you would allow us to be a guest in your home and take care of your fur babies. We in turn would manage your home with our knowledge of yard maintenance, animal care, and treat your home as we hope our friend will treat our home while we are away.

We would be happy to set up a video call and meet you, answer your questions. We want to learn about what your hopes are for your home while you are away and how we can partner together to make that happen.

Blessings,
Dave, Kristyn and Irene (15)
