We are a happy couple who recently retired and love adventures. We have traveled extensively in the United States and want to continue to expand our opportunities elsewhere. We have 3 adult children who are on their own which makes this the perfect time to explore. With house sitting this would allow us to see and experience the different cultures the world has to offer.
As mentioned above the experience of actually living and working in a different culture will allow us the ability to see the world without too much expense. Having an opportunity to actually help and caretake in a different county it will allow us to immerse ourselves in that culture.
We have house-sat before in the USA while also, taking care of cats. Some of the requirements include, watering outside gardens, inside house plants, bringing in mail, and of course taking care of the cats. Cleaning their litter boxes, feeding, when needed give them medicine and playing with them.
We both are former Visual managers with an extensive background in building/renovating stores, setting up displays in stores, painting, wallpapering (not a big fan of doing this) and more. We have an English garden now on our property with many flower beds, along with doing it ourselves the general maintenance of our property. Bill has experience in painting professionally, installing floors, electrical know how, some plumbing and as a hobby to race cars and instruct racing. I garden, cook, clean and can organize/set up events. We are positive, love new adventures and meeting new people.

Testimonials
We don't like to pick favorites but....WOW! Grab Bill & Terry quick! Truly AMAZING Caretakers!!!!
Bill and Terry are truly an exceptional couple who came to Le Mur when we were not present. They totally immersed themselves in doing many tasks that we never imagined would be finished in such a short time!!! They kept us regularly informed (we received a weekly report from them that we REALLY appreciated!!!) of their progress through Whatsapp text messages and photos. They worked very hard and were perfectionist in everything they touched. They were completely responsible. Bill managed to remove a large Pampas grass on a steep hillside that we never were able to get rid of! He dug a trench to redirect storm water at our entry, and chain-sawed a huge fallen tree that had fallen during a storm when we were not on site! Both Bill and Terry were very well organized and extremely hard working. They managed to sand and stain our upstairs hallway in the Chateau...a tough job and it looks FANTASTIC!!! We came home to a lovely, clean well cared for home and a well groomed garden, a refinished front gate, lovely French flags as our welcome...we could go on and on!!!! We truly hope they will return some day! You will be so blessed to have these guys!
