We are an extremely dependable couple with many years of caring for animals and homes -- our own, and others! Both of us were business professionals but we also built and rented vacation properties in the United States and Canada. We are hands-on, detail-oriented people who realize that no detail is too small to be unimportant. We are adept at problem solving both with domestic details and especially animals. We have owned, fostered, rescued, and saved numerous animals and have worked professionally with humane societies and veterinarians as part of that process. We also realize that a house sit involves leaving the home exactly the way you found it, or better. We also pride ourselves in being excellent communicators. You deserve to KNOW everything is fine at home! That's what a good house-sit is...peace of mind for the homeowner. We'd be happy to share more. Please be in touch if you think we can help you. We will do everything possible to give you the confidence that your home (and pets, if you have them) are in good hands. All the best! Merrill and Martha
