We are just getting started in house-sitting, and because of my husband's current job, we can only sit for maybe days. We know how you feel about your animals and will provide loving, compassionate care in your absence. We are good housekeepers. My husband is not a 'handyman'. He and I can take care of insignificant upsets or episodes, but not major repairs. Contacts will be needed for significant problems. Your beloved pets and home will be safe in our care.
