I am a semi-retired physician seeking house sitting opportunities between September 2024 and May 2025.
I travel between family in upstate NY and my partner's place in New Mexico or her family's house in Oregon - with a flexible schedule. I am also am interested in other locations around the world for housesitting. My partner is a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who would be with me part of the time that I would be housesitting. She works as a therapist and has a hybrid practice.
Camille and I presently offer events and training processes in person and online. I have my own mobile Starlink internet which I can activate if the household internet speed is too slow for Zoom.
We are non smokers, minimal drinking (2 ounces of wine once a week at dinner), no drugs, quiet - we don't party. We are conscientious with the lives and well-being of the people who come to us for assistance in our professional lives, and also with other people's property.
I presently live part-time with my 86-year-old father on his 40 acre property near Hudson, NY. I helped him build two of the houses there by hand in the 1980s, before we had electricity on the property. He still does maintenance work and operates heavy equipment (!); I assist him when I am there.
I worked as an ER physician for over 25 years. I also studied auto mechanics back in the day when there was room under the hood and less computerized components in vehicles, so I am able to do some minor maintenance and repairs, run tractors and fix some equipment. I am very comfortable with wood and pellet stoves, and have cleaned chimneys and replaced motors in pellet stoves.
Our family has had several cats, and many dogs - mostly larger ones (German Shepherds, Collies, Lab-Shepherd mix). There is a Husky along with 2 cats presently on my father's property that we care for. There are also horses that a neighbor keeps there for grazing.
I have a low clearance electric vehicle (Tesla Model 3). Dirt, snow or gravel are no problem, but if high vehicle clearance is needed to access your place, I would not be able to be get to your house.
Thank you for your consideration,
Bruce Nayowith MD
