Hi, John & Suzanne Midlock here. We are retired Postal workers now living in Talladega Alabama. We are originally from northern Illinois. We had a small farm there, with 2 donkeys, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a lot of chickens! We planted a huge garden, and sold the produce and fresh eggs. I also baked fresh bread every day to sell. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of work. We don't have any pets left now, so we're free to travel when ever we want to. So guess what, we love taking care of someone elses so they can get away and feel good that their pets are being loved on and are safe. We've done numerous sits in the US, but we really love Mexico where we have done sits in Puerto Vallarta and Cancun area. We are trustworthy, and conscientious. We have lots of experience with many types of animals, and gardens. We do not smoke. We do enjoy a glass of wine occasionally in the evening. We are not partyers.&n... read more

My entire professional life has been related to the airline industry. For almost three decades, I was working at O'Hare Airport in Chicago as an Airport Manager in charge of operations and customer service of one of the major national airlines. To obtain an airport ID badge, every year, I was going through a process of security clearance from federal and local agencies such as Customs and Boarder Protection, Transportation Security Administration, Chicago Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Federal Aviation Administration. I am a reliable and dependable person, who fully understands privacy, security and responsibility. I can work as a house sitter and/or a pet sitter. I can work locally and/or I can travel to other states and countries. read more
My first house sitting job was in college. I was very fortunate to have met a professor and his wife who let me stay at their home when they traveled over the holidays for a number of years. In my 20s and 30s, my friends and people that l have met during my travels used to exchange houses and house/pet sit before we knew that it had an official name. And, finally, during the past 5 years I've been exchanging our beautiful home in Chicago and house / petsitting officially on several platforms. I’ve accumulated five star reviews, which I am willing to share with you.
I've watered plants, tended gardens (and greenhouses!), scheduled pool maintenance, dealt with emergencies like broken water pipes, ice damns on roofs, basement flooding, and tornadoes (as well as subsequent insurance assessor
appointments). I have been entrusted with others' cars, mail, and packages. And, while not always, l've had to care for cats and dogs, as well as fish and bunnies.As for my personal situation... read more

Herman Shelton & Pam.I am 66 years old and retired. I worked 40 years in the Nuclear Power Plant. I held numerous positions because of my credentials, including the head of Security. For 40 years I had a security clearance which required background checks, finger prints and psychological exams (critical group).A nuclear power security clearance is more stringent for the critical group because of the sensitivity of your position. My security background has aided us greatly in our home ownership. So owners can be confident in us protecting their home.My wife, Pam, is 67 years old and also retired. Pam worked as a nurse (RN) in: 1) Intensive Care, 2) Insurance and 3) Grade School Nurse. Also, Pam was required to have a background check including finger printing.Both Pam and I grew up on a farm. Together, we have extensive backgrounds in taking care of animals and gardens including home landscaping. Collectively, we have raised hors... read more

My wife and I have been together 16 years and married for 11. We have no children or furbabies. I (Joy, blonde hair) have been teaching for the past 22 years and my wife is an executive with an Insurance & Financial Services Company. She has been w/the same company for the past 30 years! We have been on many journeys that have allowed us to visit beautiful places, meet wonderful people and experience adventurous activities around the world!Why We Want to House Sit:We believe it’s a clever way to travel the world and be a part of the community through the eyes of “local residents.” Also if we’re being transparent, it makes this adventure more financially prudent. We will care for your home in the same manner we treat our own home…And by the way, did I share that my wife Morgan is Type A and obsessive about living in a house that doesn’t look like it’s lived in…LOL, we will do the same w/yours!
