Non-smoking, non-drinking, RELIABLE, EXPERIENCED, RETIRED HR DIRECTOR

About this sitter

I am fully vaccinated with 2 Pfizer shots & a Moderna booster. I have a French Covid pass code from when I toured France and my pet sat3 different French homes last October/November.
I’m a very experienced, reliable, retired, active, non-smoking, non-drinking Human Resources Director who began pet/house-sitting as a way to tour. Since Jan. 2016 date I have sat 40 homes in 10 countries (6 islands - 3 continents). I have taken care of 38 dogs (1 deaf, 1 3-legged & 1-eyed, 2 medication & 1 palliative)(7 rescued), 50 cats (1 blind & 2 diabetic, 5 medication), 48 chickens, 23 ducks, 3 sheep, 3 horses, 2 geese, 2 donkeys, 2 pigs, 1 alpaca, 1 fish, 60+ feral guinea pigs, a herd of cattle and lots of gardens & plants.
My wife who is still working as a professor is often not able to join me on this trip. When she is unable to come, we communicate by FaceTime. As a result, an unlimited high speed internet connection is a must for me.
We’ve owned our home in Vancouver for over 35 years & are lifelong pet owners. We have a doodle who our extended family cares for when we’re both away from home.
I commit to keeping your home and pets safe and sound. I treat both your pets and your home the way you expect me to & recognize as both a home & pet owner how important it is to have a reliable sitter.
I don’t like to drive when it is dark so I’m usually home early in the evenings if I’ve been out & about. My principal pleasures are fly fishing, touring, museums, good food & great scenery.
I hope you give me an opportunity to assist you.

Why they want to house sit

We feel more part of the community when we stay in homes & we enjoy the responsibility & companionship that comes from caring for pets.

Their experience

We have resided in our own home for over 35 years and have both had pets throughout our lives.
We have administered medications as requested & dealt with incontinence. We belong to a number of pet sitting sites to optimize our experience & travel plans.

What can they bring to the assignment

You can be secure that you will have reliable, mature, conscientious people of high integrity who will care for your pets as you specify & leave your home as you left it.
