Active retired couple wishing to see more of the country. Flexible on location and duration - short or long term

About this sitter

Mike is a semi-retired owner of a construction management consulting company in Edmonton, AB. If you asked his employees what they would say about him, they would say that he is fair, consistent and sets accountabilities. Wendy is a semi-retired owner of a home painting company and is very handy around the house, acreage, farm and in the yard, so there are no worries about any surprises that may come up; we can handle it.

Why they want to house sit

We are looking to travel around the country to go to different areas to housesit and see the sites along the way. This will provide us with opportunities to do some sightseeing, camping, biking and hiking while we go from place to place either in our RV or by plane, train or automobile.

Their experience

With Mike working in areas for long term assignments, we tend to stay in rentals in the areas he works so housesitting tends to be part of the experience we seek. We have owned our own home and lake cottage for over 25 years and have had to do the yard and garden maintenance, interior and exterior upkeep, and maintenance.
We are a very clean, active, organized, respectful nonsmoking couple, and you will be very pleased coming home to a nice clean house upkept to our own high standards.

What can they bring to the assignment

We offer extensive experience with animals. Wendy has cared for various pets including dogs, cats, chickens, donkeys, pigs, and horses, while Mike grew up with dogs. Our dogs required plenty of walks, playtime, and interaction, preferring calmer nature hikes over off-leash parks.
As house sitters, we are reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to detail. We prioritize maintaining the homeowner's property and ensuring everything is in order. Effective communication and prompt responses to queries are essential to us. Our dedication makes us a wise choice for any homeowner seeking responsible house sitters.
If we can run a successful high-energy business with repeat customer satisfaction, we can manage your home, pets, and yard with care.
