Fit, healthy, and happy retiree, will care for your home, pets, and livestock

About this sitter

I am a happy 65 year old retired boat builder. I am fit,healthy and
don't smoke or drink alcohol. I am looking for a medium to long term house-sit.

Why they want to house sit

A few years after my retirement I discovered a new passion - photography. I have spent the years since travelling around the United States, camping and hiking and taking photographs. In 2011 I discovered house-sitting. I love to travel and decided to spend the next few years travelling around North America, house-sitting and taking photographs. I enjoyed it so much I have continued on.
I love animals and have always had pets. In 2009 I had to put down my beloved dog, Timex. Taking care of other people's pets helps me not miss him so much.

Their experience

I am an experienced house-sitter. I've been charged with the care of people's houses and pets and have both personal and house sit references. I also have a criminal background check.

What can they bring to the assignment

I have owned my own home and can manage all the working systems of a house. Because I was brought up living a rural life, I understand the workings of wells, water pumps, and septic systems. I am also comfortable doing small repairs and dealing with emergencies if they arise. I have had an assortment of pets throughout my life, I have also had chickens and a horse. I love animals of all kinds,gardening, and
even light farm-work.Your home and pets will be loved and very well
taken care of while you are away.
