IT Professional and Estate Gardener

About this sitter

We are a happily married couple of 40+ years, early retired and enjoy travelling, which house sitting has enabled us to do.
House sitting for you could be a win-win for us both. You and your beloved pets will receive dedicated care and the attention you deserve. We are given the opportunity to fulfill our dream of travelling and getting to know communities by living like a local. House sits have allowed us to make friends with homeowners and their four legged companions.

We enjoy keeping active walking pets or doing chores. We are doer’s, taking care of daily tasks with a smile. We are meticulous in keeping our home and garden spaces clean and tidy and will do the same with yours.

Bicycling and hiking are two activities we are passionate about and they have taken us to many places, not only in the U.S., but to other countries as well.

Why they want to house sit

We are pet lovers and miss not having a pet to greet us when we come through the door.
We have had family fur babies that we have shared our home with. Elsa, our Lab, and Tigger, a mischievous calico, entertained us for 14 years, romping and playing together.

Later, Rollo, a ten-pound Pomeranian mix, overjoyed us with his personality and loyalty for another 14 years.

Although never fulfilling Cheryl’s dreams of living on a farm, we have experienced a menagerie of pets including, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, gerbils, and tropical fish. Even a chameleon.

Their experience

We have done many sits over the last 5 years. Some for months and not all thru this site. All have positive acknowledgements that we would be happy to share with you. We have not only made many furry friends, but have enjoyed the connection with the homeowners who entrusted us with their home and pets.

Jerry – As an IT professional, I handled urgent technology situations in a courtroom setting, while staying calm and flexible. You can leave your home and cherished pets in my care, knowing that if the need arises, I can deal with unplanned events in a rational manner.
I am a handy man. I take much pride in the homes Cheryl and I have had, remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, and performing maintenance projects in the home and yard. I am excited to be in this next chapter of my life, travelling, meeting new people, enjoying life and helping others do the same by house sitting for you.

Cheryl- I have never had an inside job! For 30 years I have had an estate gardening business, maintaining more than 100 acres of specimen trees, shrubs, roses, perennials, annuals, and water features. I listened and worked with my clients, building trust while taking care of many needs – preparing gardens for weddings, becoming the person the alarm company called in case of an emergency, doing whatever was asked of me, or whatever I saw that would make my client’s lives more enjoyable. House sitting has allowed me to slow down some while traveling, dote on your pets, and have a purpose as I have had caring for the homes and grounds of my clients.

What can they bring to the assignment

Experience, enthusiasm, and top notch service to fulfill your needs.
