Retired Veterinarian and Wife Ready to Explore

About this sitter

Retired couple living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, USA. David retired last year from clinical practice, and taught small animal nutrition at numerous veterinary universities worldwide for 20+ years. Kimberly was a busy homeschooling mom, and is an active grandmother, while following David on his travels and assisting with his labs on campuses.

Why they want to house sit

We want to travel and experience the character and uniqueness of new places and are weary of hotels and restaurants. We prefer the peace and tranquility of country locales with their small villages/towns, beautiful scenery, and homemade meals.

Their experience

We have LOADS of experience with all sorts of animals: birds, dogs, cats, hamsters, you name it. David grew up on a small farm in Idaho, so he can handle most well-behaved farm animals including cattle. We both love fresh eggs! Kimberly is a big gardener; although it's mostly container gardening where we live.

What can they bring to the assignment

Compassion, gentleness, and experience with animals and a love for gardening. Non-smoking, no partying or loud music to bother neighbors. An available car is preferred if the sit is over 4 hours from our home or more than 2 weeks internationally.
