We are Alison, a retired teacher and James, a retired librarian. We've lived in Iowa
City, Iowa for the past 28 years and are often called on by friends, neighbors and
relatives to look after pets, plants and collect mail while they're away.
We became active with House Carers just before the pandemic (Jan- March 2020)
Four years later, we're both fully vaccinated and anxious for an opportunity to spend
time in a space/ location other than our home/ home town.
James enjoys reading, writing, and is an avid fan of the K.C. Chiefs and K.C. Royals.
We are both supporters of the arts. During the past few years, Alison has taken
up tennis and piano. Both continue to be works in progress.
We are healthy, adventuresome, and enjoy being active.
Easy going, down to earth, and dependable, we appreciate the opportunity to
explore new places from the perspective of a "local" vs. that of a tourist.
We take seriously the responsibility of looking after your home and caring for your
pets while you're away. We are also glad to communicate with you via text and photos
during that time.
Please contact us if you have questions. Thank you for considering us!
