Marcia and Stan Klein, Mr. and Mrs.

About this sitter

We are an American couple who have been housesitting 6 months each year, for several years, in the United States and Mexico. The remainder of the year we travel abroad and do some months of volunteer work for NGOs as we go.
I am a former social worker and my husband a former business man in the real estate industry.

Why they want to house sit

At times we are unable to find appropriate volunteer situations and housesitting is an excellent alternative.
Our goal in our travels is to learn and understand the culture of the people and countries we visit.

Their experience

We have extensive experience caring for all size homes, animals, gardens and supervision of household help such as maids, gardeners and repair persons.
We have raised two children, owned several homes and pets, lived in large and small cities as well as suburbs.

What can they bring to the assignment

We bring our experience from professional careers, as house sitters, also as concerned citizens of the world. We have travelled to over 60 countries, many times without knowledge of the country language, often staying for several months. In addition to English, our Spanish is very acceptable, and we have some study and understanding of French
