We are retired, academic-types who now lead an adventurous life filled with travel. We just finished driving the PanAmerican Highway in North, Central and South America. We were on the road for a total of nine years- with many breaks for house sitting and visits back to USA.
Now we are back in the Southwestern USA for time with family and friends. When we are on the move, we will be in a truck and trailer. But we are often interested in pausing the highway life, and perhaps your housesit is the break we need. We will be available to sit in many parts of the USA and Mexico We are Arizona/New Mexico folks, and very familiar with the Southwest. We also speak a little Spanish. We are comfortable in any community setting
House work, yard work, pet care, livestock, chores, none of it scares us (heck we raised three boys). Leave us a "to do list" and we will work on that, too. We do not need television, but internet is handy. We have a vehicle for transportation in your community. Mike is handy with a wrench, while Geneva can find her way around a kitchen! We are non-smokers. We do not take any drugs harder than blood pressure meds - Hahahahahhaha. No worries about parties at your place with us there, a typical evening is dog walk, dinner, games or movies and bedtime!
We can send pupdates (yes, pupdates) by , , or text if you wish. Or we can leave you to travel without worrying about us. We have owned enough homes and pets to know how to manage most any situation that arises. We have many excellent references.
We do have a dog that travels with us. Pacha is street -dog mix. She is very well behaved and quite mellow. She is an indoor/outdoor dog and get along well with all dogs, cats and people. And of course she is up to date on all shots, pest treatments, etc. She has short hair, house trained and can sound the alarm if your place is being invaded. Since Geneva is a neat-freak we vacuum/sweep dog hair frequently and will do the same at your place. Will you give Pacha and us a chance to play with your pets and enjoy your home?
Please consider giving us a try. Keep in mind that age, wisdom and experience will serve you well as far as house sitters go. We offer those characteristics to help us take great care of your place while you are away. Give us a call or send us a message to discuss the possibilities.
If we sound like the house sitters you are seeking, please drop us a line. Because we have great flexibility we may be able to work with your dates/locations and make it happen!
