Your Home and Your Pets Will Love Me

About this sitter

I am a retired professional. If I could, I would live in at least six different places a year.
House and pet sitting allows me to do this.

Why they want to house sit

For the past five years I have made many road trips in my 95 Chevy Van. As I travel, I like to pretend like I live in that area and not necessarily visit all the tourist spots. Instead, I like to market where the locals do, meet my neighbors, and walk through the neighborhoods or tour the rural areas.
When I first started road tripping, I discovered house and pet sitting. It gives me the chance to get out of the campgrounds and hotels and into a home.
My van and I have traveled in 47 states and and 7 Canadian provinces. I have also tended homes and pets in Belgium, France, and Australia.

Their experience

In the past 5 years, I have made sure that over 20 homeowners had successful vacations while their pets were loved, fed, and exercised and their homes were well kept.

What can they bring to the assignment

What do you need in a house and pet sitter? Let me know and I am sure I can figure out how I can provide it.
I own and live in a high-rise condo and also own a suburban duplex income property. I have owned several other properties in my lifetime including one that was over 100 years old.
Although I did minor repairs and handyman work on my property, it is like learning how to change the oil on your vehicle - once you learn how to do it and master the chore, it stops being fun after a few years.
But, I can sure solve a problem, switch a circuit breaker, shut off the water, and stop any other damage until I have called the correct service or repairman.
I always keep a home clean and tidy. Many folks have said they returned to a home that was cleaner than when they left it.
I enjoy walking dogs and can generally go for as long as the dogs want at least twice a day. I have never met a cat I didn't love, but as cat owners know there have been one or two that merely tolerated me.
