House and Pet Sitter Available in United States and Internationally

About this sitter

Dave and Sue raised three children in Maine, and during the past thirty years have traveled and lived internationally from Botswana, Africa to Iceland to Central America. We have had a variety of animals call our home their home from dogs and cats to hamsters and guinea pigs.

Dave and Sue are the co-founders of the Center for Ecological Living and Learning (CELL), an international non profit sustainability education organization inspiring our youth to become moral and ethical leaders of our future. We have volunteered for a variety of non profit community organizations over the years and strive to live in ways that contribute to the well-being of our world. We have owned several homes and have overseen ongoing maintenance needs.

What are we looking for in a house sit? We love to travel, meet new people, share experiences with others, and give something back along the way. Our schedules are flexible, and we have worked from home, so we can travel almost anywhere. We love animals and looking after them, and are looking for a house sitting experience that is mutually a good fit for all.

Why they want to house sit

We love to travel and get to know people from different regions and backgrounds. It's been said, "strangers are simply friends you haven't yet met." We have certainly experienced this to be true in our many travels over the years. We also believe that when we open our homes to others, we have the opportunity to enrich our lives in so many ways. And in this way, we are playing our part in building trust, understanding, and appreciation with people from all backgrounds...
