Type of house sit we're looking for can have cats, fish, birds, small critters and medium to small dogs only. Will do plant/garden/yard maintenance and care.
Thank you for thinking of us and hope to hear from you.

Why they want to house sit

We like the win/win situation of house sitting. Enabling both parties to get what is wanted and needed. Would like the opportunity to experience new things, people and places.

Their experience

I (Arlene) did some house sitting in my late 20s, so I have some experience. Leave the house the same as one finds it or better. But haven't since, so I have no references. Sorry.

What can they bring to the assignment

Pets have been cats, med to small dogs, fish and birds. Like animals and willing to learn. We are avid hikers/walkers and gardeners. Very clean and conscienscious of others and their property. Reliable and trustworthy.
We are very knowledgeable about house care and maintenance.
