Petcare & Property Mgmt Delivered by Seasoned Travelers

About this sitter

Robert and I are born explorers as long as it doesn't include camping, hiking, hunting, or fishing. We don't even consider glamping. But we do relish visiting foreign destinations, sunny shores, and world class cities. Between us we've been on 5 continents, traversed 40+ countries, and visited countless cities, villages, and towns. There's been zip lines, cruise lines, and conga lines. We're avid photographers and supply Google with endless photos of where we go and what we eat. Something we wouldn't share with our doctors.

Why they want to house sit

At this stage of travel, we're looking to gain an more in-depth experience of other locations and cultures. Not something you can achieve in a matter of a few days. Since we're pretty much in charge of our business activities including real estate and pet care, we can pick up and go as we please. We are also members of House Sitters America and Trusted House Sitters. It's the latter network where we've both taken turns as the lead person for locating sits and sitters. This segment of the gig economy suits us just fine. Being able to stay in a location for a lengthy period can be cost prohibitive. And traveling through Mind My House or the other platforms gives us another avenue for doing what we love to do. Steve recently became an Irish citizen through athe FBR process for the sole purpose of relocating to his ancestral land. He has visited the 'Emerals Isle' a number of times meeting strangers and distant cousins alike. As our new home we see Dublin as a jump-off point for accessing other European locations. So if you have a poodle in Paris or a Ragdoll in Rome we're interested though a pet is not required.

Their experience

Pardon the immodesty but we are a dynamic duo when it comes to house-sitting with or without animals. Steve is a real estate broker with 22 years of experience. He knows houses and how they work. Robert managed our Airbnb property in Palm Springs during our three year residency. In both situations we've earned 5 star reviews across the board. We also started a petcare services business during the pandemic (talk about a travel conundrum) that has earned us rave reviews. We take what we do seriously. Especially when we are entrusted with others' cherished pets and homes. We currently live in a 1918 Craftsman house which is a hardy relic loaded with character. There isn't even a dishwasher to be found inside it's four walls. Talk about old world "charm".

What can they bring to the assignment

Clearly we are hard workers and men of our word. We use clear communications religiously but are also able to act independently with good judgement. We appreciate the beauty of nature as much as a tall skyscaper. We know what it's like to be on the road and remain concerned about our home and Trixie. So we will do our best to make sure you can relax and feel confident that there's nothing to worry about. If you take a look at the assorted reviews available through our reference links, you'll see we have what it takes.
