Pet owner and Retired Nurse

About this sitter

We love animals but are only experienced with cats and dogs. We are however, willing to learn about caring for other types of pets.

Why they want to house sit

House sitting seems to be a win-win for the owners and the sitters. We would be honored to watch over things while you are away and love your pets almost as much as you do.

Their experience

We have had 6 different cats over the years (some adopted and some inherited from collee kids that moved away) and two dogs. We just lost our favorite little buddy, Bootsie, after 17 years. He was a wild child but as all dogs do, mellowed out. We miss him every day.

What can they bring to the assignment

Both my husband and I are easy going but sticklers for detail. I'm a reired RN with my last job in a techincal college until I retired in 2019, teaching nursing. I still teach as an adjunct professor. My husband retired in 2012 but has continued to work part time since then. Because we are older (I'm 69 and my husband Charlie is 72) we will not adopt a puppy but look for adult dog. Until such time we are traveling and working, going to the YMCA 4-5 times per week, and now, looking to house and/or pet sit. We love the idea of caring for pets AND getting to know others places. Thanks for reading.
