About this sitter

I’ve been a homeowner for 50 years and a pet-owner for 60, having loved and been loved by over a dozen amazing, quirky, and delightful dogs and cats. I’ve stayed in AirBnBs and CouchSurfed in three countries on two continents, receiving great reviews from all of my hosts. I promise to love your pets as if they were my own, and treat your home with respect and gratitude. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn more about your bit of the world.

Why they want to house sit

I love staying for extended periods in one place when I travel, getting to know the area and what makes it special. I’ve been so very fortunate to have had fabulous housesitters take care of my home and canine friend, so I thought it appropriate to give someone else the same peace of mind. I decided it would be fun this year to take a such a journey with my dear friend, Nancy. We both had been married for many years, but are now single (widowed and divorced) and are ready to do some exploring.

Their experience

I’ve been a homeowner for 50 years. As my life’s journey has taken me from place to place, I’ve redesigned, updated, and maintained my homes to increase their livability and value. I believe in neighborhoods and in being a good neighbor through friendliness, kindness, and respect. My life has been enriched and enlivened by having shared my home with a variety of canine and feline companions over the years.

What can they bring to the assignment

I will treat your home with respect and pride. I will do my best to develop and maintain cordial relationships with your neighbors. And I promise to love your pets (if you have any) as if they were my own.
