We love animals and I grew up on a farm in Iowa. We are healthy and are loving retirement, hoping to see more of the world and live in many different areas for short periods. Seven years ago we moved from our Chicago suburban home to Mexico to experience a new culture. Now we wish to have the opportunity to live for short periods in other parts of the world, including the USA and Canada. We have had dogs and cats in our adult lives and would love to care for yours. I am handy around the house and a DIY-type of guy. We love to hike and cook and read so we don't need outside entertainment to keep us interested in the housesit area.
