Aloha! We're Betsy and Pete. Responsible, quiet dog-loving U.S. couple we're at the wonderful time in life when all five kids are grown, gone and haven't produced any grandkids. Freedom is good!
Married for ten years, we have restructured our lives and careers into a location independent lifestyle. We sold the house, rented a condo and then moved from Minnesota to Hawaii. We love to travel! Now, we run our businesses from anywhere there is a good Internet connection.
Our travel blog - passingthru - is eight years old. Please visit the site to get to know us a bit better, and of course, we're happy to answer any additional questions. Just ask! :)
Betsy speaks passable Spanish, and we get along quite nicely with iTranslate, even in Russia! Pete has solid handyman skills. We're capable gardeners; Betsy with flowers, Pete with vegetables and lawn care. We do not smoke and are early to bed early to rise folks.
We've grown up and lived with dogs of all sizes from Pekingese to Labrador. Betsy is Crazy About Dogs (and has a Pinterest board by that name). We adored our Little Daisy, and have missed her since she passed on. Currently dog-less, we look forward to grand-parenting your precious pooch(es). Sadly, Pete is allergic to indoor cats, but we'd be happy to look after outdoor cats. We've had several around our home in the Kauai jungle.
After decades of home ownership, we have two lifetimes of experience to properly look after your home while you are gone. You can be sure that we'll treat your property with respect. If entrusted with doggie care, we appreciate foremost that this is a beloved member of your family. In turn, housesitting for you will allow us the time to get to know your part of the world better.
We have references and a police check available for additional peace of mind. Let’s make an arrangement!
