We're home-owners, farmers, landlords, and U.S. citizens, originally from the greater Boston area.  We're also long-time permanent residents of Costa Rica.  Sharon is a contract physician (locum tenens), Dick is retired from university teaching (geochemistry) and international IT consulting.  We're a stable, capable couple, and have references from many years of home exchanging with families all over the world, as well as house and pet-sits in the US, Europe, Africa, and Central America.  We've owned and cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, donkeys, and fish.  We don't smoke anything;  Dick has a glass of wine with dinner.  We have our own health insurance and sometimes our own vehicle.

We often travel with our 29 year old daughter, a self-employed graphic artist who works remotely.   We're hoping to arrange a house sit in New England from August 2-August 16 of 2019.  We have a sit agreed to from August 17-September 1 in Brookline, MA, so we have firm plans to be in the area.  Also available from  December, 2019.

We can maintain your home and garden and love your pets, drive a stick shift, swim, speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and bake great bagels and croissants.   We own our own vehicles in both CR and the US.  We're CPR-trained, have no outstanding warrants, and try to accept all opportunities for adventure.  We say yes unless there's a good reason to say no.

  Like everyone these days, we need decent speed wi-fi to conduct our lives.  We have kids in 3 different countries, grandchildren in 2,  and Sharon does online medical research and consulting.  Our leisure time is spent gardening (a 12 month a year enterprise in the tropics), reading, and playing bridge.  We're more library people than television fans, but make an exception sometimes for Celtics and Seahawks games.

We have references from several years of house-sitting and home-exchanging that are not listed here as they didn't transfer when we joined housecarers .  We're happy to provide them to prospective hosts.

  We are also available for 3 month sits in New England from December, 2019, forward.
