About Us
We are an adventurous couple excited to meet new friends and travel! Elsie is an architectural designer working remotely, and Coulson takes the role of caretaker and liaison. We're experienced housesitters and have cared for a variety of pets from lizards to lamas!
2021
Rapid City, SD
We both primarily grew up in Rapid City, South Dakota with overlapping friend groups but didn’t meet until 2020 when we found ourselves back in our hometown due to the pandemic. We began our relationship as friends, occasionally escaping from family to grab a bite out or catch a movie. With restrictions being loosened we found ourselves on a trip to Denver Colorado, exploring the city, going out for Sushi, and making faces at fish in the Denver Aquarium. Returning from our trip we had shifted from dating to partners in crime, not quite sure how our paths in life would combine or where it would take us next.
2022
Fargo, ND
The next fall Elsie moved back to Fargo, North Dakota to continue school in person but not alone- Coulson joined without ever visiting the state. We loved our cozy life in Fargo next to a beautiful park and close to downtown; never far from amazing food and drink (the latter being key to surviving the frigid winters). Elsie graduated the following spring with her Master’s in Architecture and was applying to firms all across the U.S. excited for our next adventure.
2023+
Full-time nomads
Having secured a remote position for an awesome firm in Boston, Massachusetts Elsie and I sold most of our belongings and decided to head out East to find a new home. We originally used Trusted House Sitters to identify places we’d like to live and eventually realized we could just continuously string sits to visit places we’ve always dreamed of going.
