We're a British couple who retired early and have spent the last several years travelling aboard our sailing yacht. If you take a look at our web site ( you'll see the story of our travels, but also, and maybe more importantly, pictures of our home in the UK. We hope they'll give you a feel for how we care for our own home and how we would care for yours. Also, until we came sailing pets had always been part of our lives so you can be confident that yours will also be well looked after. Last summer we took some time off from sailing and bought a car to see something of the US East Coast. We discovered house/pet-sitting for the first time and really enjoyed our experiences. Right now we're back aboard the boat cruising the Bahamas, but we'll return to the US for summer 2015 to do something similar. We have no real plan except this time we'll head west. Other than that we're completely flexible.
