We are an active, healthy, non-smoking, retired professional couple looking for an opportunity to care for your house, pets, and garden as if they were our own. We love animals and enjoy their company and caring for them. We are looking for a housesitting position in any location and duration. Prior to our retirement in 2007, we worked for 30 years as information technology consultants.

Prior to housesitting, we lived and worked in Stockholm, Sweden for one year. This experience "sparked" our desire to travel and seek housesitting opportunities. By traveling and housesitting, we enhance our appreciation and understanding of different countries and cultures. We also get the chance to learn new languages. When we travel, we always make every effort to "blend in" with the local community. We have owned and maintained our own homes and properties for over thirty years and take the responsibility of caring for any home and property very seriously. We are very flexible and resourceful and can handle any situation that may arise. We follow the philosophy that the exchange for a great place to stay is compensation enough. We would never ask for or expect payment for housesitting. We can provide personal and professional references.
