About this sitter

Kathleen and I are looking to invest our time and attention into a house! We recently sold our homestead of 20 years and, frankly, we've been surprised by how much we've missed the commitment of homeownership. For twenty years, we had the responsibility of taking care of our homestead, including tending gardens, doing yard work, and caring for pets. I think housesitting gives us a chance to do what we do best, on a part-time basis. Personally speaking, we are two easy-going middle-agers. Our four children are grown with professional lives of their own and now it's time for us to meet new people, explore new areas, and handle different responsibilities.

Why they want to house sit

We love traveling and exploring different areas, getting to know new people, places and animals! We've done a significant amount of traveling and are discovering that housesitting is a great way to familiarize ourselves with different areas of the US and the world.

Their experience

We have taken care of many homes over the years. From 2005 to 2020, we exchanged homes with fellow travelers, which basically means you have all the responsibilities of a house sitter, while your home exchange family has the responsibility of taking care of our home at the same time. That exchange program—which we did in many places, including England, Ireland, Italy, Turkey, Costa Rica, Canada, New York City, and elsewhere—gave us a great opportunity to learn about different places, let new people, and live like locals. We are very interested in traveling, but not interested in being tourists! That said, we have not been affiliated with any official housesitting site. We hope this doesn't impact your impression of our ability to be responsible house sitters.

What can they bring to the assignment

We are enthusiastic, responsible, and happy people! If given the chance, we will bring that and more to your home. We love tending to gardens, giving love to furry friends, and taking care of household chores. As homeowners ourselves for over 25 years, we've got it down, and would look forward to bringing our work ethic and TLC to your wonderful home and all its denizens!
