We are a truly 'international' couple; recently we were house-sitting in India (six months, with dog and staff) and are back in the States now (permanent US residents) and house-sitting for a short while in Southern California. As former house-owners we appreciate the value of a well-looked after home, by reliable and conscientious people.
We love the out-doors and enjoy the simple pleasures of gardening and pet-care. We have hands-on experience with all sorts of pets (previously owned dogs, cats and birds). Our occupation (senior tourism professionals with extensive international network and client base), requires us to be well organized and good communicators and also allows us to work from any location in the world, as long as it's wired.
Between us, we speak seven languages, so have little trouble communicating with anyone! We are available to house-sit for short periods, in between volunteer placements.
