My husband and I are retired and would like to do a bit of travelling. House sitting appeals to us because we prefer to stay in one area for several months at a time so we are able to soak up the culture. My husband worked as a millwright in our local sawmill for years and I worked in the Accounts Receivable office at a large hardware store. We live on an acreage so are accustomed to home maintenance, yard work, animal care, etc. We are in our early 's, non-smokers,and non-partiers. We realize how important it is for the home owner to feel comfortable with whoever they have living in their home. My husband and I would like to assure you that we would look after your house as if it was our own. References can be provided. You are welcome to me directly at . We can also be contacted via .
