About Patrick Enking:

Kathy and Patrick (Veteran) are non-smokers, retiring professional educators in health and wellness. We love to travel, meet new friends (human and animals) and experience life to the fullest. This is a phase of life that represents freedom and we are healthy to explore more of the earth. We are reliable, no drama and sensible. We communicate effectively and want to make sure that when you go away, you feel good knowing your properties are being cared for.

 The two of us can adapt to most situations. We have maintained pools, taken out trash weekly, mowed lawns, trimmed, raked, and shoveled snow our whole lives. We keep a place clean. We are mindful of our pet's needs and comfort.

Now we are in a open phase of life inquiry and we want to help others to explore what's important to them while offering them some relief of responsibilities for animals and property. 

We have traveled to many countries, owned two homes and had many pets. We have a philosophy of "leave no trace unless it improves the situation". We are not afraid of doing some work as needed to help in ways that make sense.
