Steve is a (mostly) retired carpenter. Annette is a realtor (so I can work from anywhere). We love animals and love to explore new (& old) places so housesitting is the perfect fit for us. We recently (Dec had to put our Bernese Mt dog down as she was 11.5 and life was getting difficult, its been brutal to say the least (as many of you know who have gone through this) . We also have a cat called Benny. We have housesat for many years now, and have returned many times to California (Manhattan Beach) where we have housesat the same loveable golden doodle pups (brother and sister) whom we have become very attached to. We love housesitting as it gives us the opportunity to travel while at the same time becoming part of a community and enjoy "pet" time while we are away from our own. We are a married couple, very clean & non-smoking. We own our home and because we have pets of our own we understand what its like to leave your pets with strangers and how difficult that can be. We will treat your pets as we do our own, with TONS of love and affection and whatever else they are in need of. Hopefully we would not be "strangers" for long. Happy to zoom with you or connect in any other way that works for both of us.
