Mature House Sitter Available

About this sitter

I (Robert) am 56 and am a physical therapist of 25 years (specializing in neurological injury). Taking a break (maybe permanently) from my career and opening the door to travel/exploring unencumbered by home responsibilities feels limitless. I've listed some professional references for proof of character.

Why they want to house sit

In 2022 I bravely decided to 'turn life upside down' for the sake of pursuing adventure and thus sold an oceanfront home on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada and (for now anyway) hung up my professional hat. I have since been testing the water of full time travel and learning what I like and don't. Quickly I learned I like to park myself in a location for a chunk of time and calmly explore and get a true feel of an area. I feel this is so well suited to house sitting that I want to explore it.

Their experience

I have considerable experience in managing a property and maintenance. My acre oceanfront home required regular maintenance checks and follow through. The extensive veggie and perennial gardens were well tended and admired. I kept unconventional pets in a honey bee apiary requiring the tender loving care that any pet needs.

What can they bring to the assignment

I love calm quite life, immersed in daily routines with the possibility of some exploring. I am handy with most everything housemaking/handyman having maintained a property for many years. Now that I am free from property ownership I can care for yours and let you have a break.
