We are a mature, reliable, semi-retired couple who love animals and simple country living. We sold our farm house in Nova Scotia, Canada a few years ago as well as our business and have been loving the freedom.
After working as a manager in the corporate world for most of my adult life and helping my husband run his business, we are both enjoying our new stress-free life and have even started to explore our artistic side. We both write (I have a degree in communications) and have even started to paint, things that neither of us had time for previously.
We are available for both long or short term and have owned our own hobby farm for many years.
We have done some house sitting before but didn't realize it was house-sitting. We just thought it was a wonderful opportunity to help someone out and take some time from our travels, a respite to focus on our writing and putter around the house. I guess we are home bodies by nature. For as much as we love to travel we appreciate the quiet life as well.
We know that leaving your home and furry ones behind as you travel is stressful, Stephen and I both recognize the importance of being able to have someone in your home that you can trust to take proper care of your home and your animals and your guests if you have a B&B. For us, animals are family members and we understand that you want the best care for them and your home.
We are experienced home owners and animal lovers. We used to own a small hobby farm where we had goats, chickens, dogs and cats. We know what is required when taking care of a large home.
We bring a mature, reliable approach to our house-sitting. We are genuine, down to earth people who know how valuable time is and want to help others get a break away without having to worry about their home or furry ones.
We can provide references and criminal record check that speaks to our character and our experience.
