Experienced & Very Reliable

RE Broker would love to take care of your home, pets and gardens in exchange for lodging and travel as a local not a tourist!  In return the home is always professionally cleaned. Some positions have asked for closets/sheds organized and/or painting/gardening projects completed.

House sitting has been wonderful with so many jobs sent my way over the last 22 years-thank you!  My hubby (Mr FixIt-retired civil service 40 yrs) and I have been to Scotland, England, France, Spain, Honduras, Nevis, St Kitts,  Bahamas, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, and so many wonderful places. My clients like the fact their home is well cared for and their furry family loved. I am very capable of doing a splendid job in your home. I understand how hard it is to find someone with common sense who will take care of your home the same way you would, plus deep respect for your privacy. My philosophy is to always exceed your expectations.

We own a large country home, several rental properties and know how to manage everything from small repairs to pool cleaning. Mostly retired Real Estate Broker for over 20 years.  Prior 18 years PC Insurance Broker, and owned a B & B for several years. Raised in the Midwest(US) on a farm with degree in Animal Science. Experienced with Animal Rescue plus raised Golden Retrievers, horses, bunnies and cats over the years. Prior licensed Veterinary Technician. I have a wonderful family and enjoy animals, travel,reading,music,gardening and swimming/snorkelling.

 Skills: gardening, mow, trim, minor repairs, loving care for your animals and keep your home immaculate. Excellent references-including prior house sitting, background check and outstanding credit. 

 Required Salary: Just lodging and sometimes travel expenses are paid, but not always.  Greatly appreciate an old vehicle to drive  I have perfect record for over 30 yrs and have insurance.  Plus if your puppies like car rides, dog parks or outdoor cafes that's right up my alley!  Thank you
