We are a couple in our 50's originally from Canada. We would love to care for your home and pets while you are away. We spent the winter of in Mexico and love this country and as of July/06 will be moving there on a more permanent basis. We are available to housesit at any time as we have retired from the workforce. If you are interested in reading about our trips and our life in Mexico, we have a blog that you can visit here: There is only space for one clickable link on this site so you will have to copy and paste the blog site link. Sorry. We lived on an acreage in Canada, so country living is not a problem. We are capable of looking after your yard, we have had a variety of animals/birds/fish over the years. We understand how someone feels about their home and will look after yours as if it were ours. We have an online photo album (with the link below) where you can see photos of our yard and pets in Canada. We love to travel and are willing to go almost anywhere just for the experience.
