I have been a member with House Carers for over 13 years, but I have been on the other side, the one needing house/pet care and have used housecarers many times. I am retired now and love to travel and see new sights and thoroughly enjoy taking excellent care of other people's pets and homes! Animals seem to love me! I have a fondness and strong affection for cats and dogs, and I have raised many of both over my lifetime. My husband and I have been homeowners for over 26 years and know the value of taking great care of someone's home and/or pets while they are away. Since I am the one that is retired, I will be doing the caretaking.
