Retired, active and in good health,university educator,college graduate, home owner, experienced in home maintance including yard and pools. Long time experience with pets of all kinds. I am featured in the Arthur Fromers Budget Travel magazine April 2006 article on page Quote from article: "Since retiring as a university administrator 10 years ago, Grant Thomas has kept an eye on houses (and pets) in (goes on to cite locations ) he says. "I get to know a place much more in-depth, and my experiences have given me a new circle of human, canine and feline friends across the country."
I am often avaliable for various periods of housesitting. Recently have had house/pet sitting assignments in Simsbury, CT, Santa Fe, NM and Seattle WA and Raleigh/Durham North Carolina area and San Rafeal, Calif.
Non smoker and no other bad habits. Can provide excellent and verifiable references or bonding if desired. Will respect and take care of your home and pets as if my own! You will find your property in the same condition when you return as when you left it. My wife, who is also a retired educator, might accompany me depending upon the location and time. So could be a married couple house sitting for you, depending on circumstances and timing.
