About this sitter

I prefer warmer and tropical locales in international locations. I am open to both urban and rural locations, but I don't want total isolation. I require reliable internet and enough free time to exercise 1-2 hours a day, whether swimming, biking, running or gym. Access to towns and stores is nice

Why they want to house sit

At this point in my life I want to see and experience new places. I lived or worked in more than 30 countries. I like to learn and speak foreign languages... I was a career US diplomat for 7 years and have worked in international business for mroe than 20 years.

Intelligent, Responsible & Trustworthy

I heartily recommend Mike, he’s responsible, tidy, and a trustworthy house-sitter. Independent and capable, he efficiently cared for my coastal home in Mexico for three months during summer monsoon season—a challenging time of year to be sure. All was maintained in shipshape order, he managed two employees and best of all cared for my pets, two dogs and a cat. Communication was easy, he’s responsive, intelligent, energetic, and electronically connected. As a homeowner, Mike Is a welcome poly-lingual guest. Put him at the top of your list!
