Hello housesitting community!I am a licensed massage therapist and food industry professional. I have been house/petsitting since I was a teenager; first with my mom (an elementary school teacher), and later on taking sits alone, with my sister, or sometimes with a friend. I have loved and looked after animals and houses in the United States, as well as in several countries in Europe, ranging from the regular dogs and cats, to farms full of animals! I have extensive experience with elderly and special needs pets.I am often asked back to pet/housesit, returning to some of the same places for years and developing lasting friendships. I love gardening, hiking, reading and obviously, traveling. read more

Hi! We’re Colleen and Troy, an adventurous husband-and-wife team in our mid-50s based in Queen Creek, Arizona. We’re excited to explore new places, experience life like locals, and discover where we might eventually want to retire. We believe house sitting is a wonderful way to combine our love of travel with our appreciation for caring for homes, animals, and gardens.We take great pride in our own home and would care for yours with that same level of attention, respect, and responsibility. Between us, we bring a strong work ethic, practical skills, a love of animals, and a genuine appreciation for making a house feel like home.I grew up on a five-acre hobby farm in rural British Columbia, Canada, where we raised just about every farm animal you can imagine, including horses, pigs, and turkeys. That experience taught me responsibility from an early age and gave me a lifelong appreciation for animals and the care they require. We also owned a beautiful Arabian horse years ago, so we... read more

My wife and I are retired military (32 years each). No strangers to living out of a suitcase, our goal in retirement is to continue those adventures by becoming immersed into the local life/culture of wherever we land. Short stays in neighborhoods, away from the touristy hotels is one of the best ways to do this. The wife is very handy as she's rebuilt our bathroom and kitchen (I was manual labor). We have 2 cats (but we do not travel with them), plants and a large yard that we are rather proud of - so, we're not afraid of the work involved in keeping up a home. We understand the importance of treating your home and pets with the love that we have for our own. read more

Caring for other's homes, pets and ranches, Airbnbs, etc. fills me with complete joy. I've been providing home/pet care for 35 years. I am retired from my profession and solely provide care for other's properties and beloved animals. My profession, in part, worked with others experiencing crisis, trauma, and transition. My passion for working with others easily transfers to caring for belived pets and farm animals. I grew up in a family-owned hardware store in the Midwest, the Heartland. My upbringing has allowed me to develop a skill set of 'handiness' allowing me to troubleshoot most unforseen issues.I've lived in NYC, Chicago, Minneapolis, Connecticut, the rural high desert mountains of southern Arizona and Nebraska. I love rural living just as much as major cities. I've traveled Europe, wandering, exploring many countries. I've house, cat and dog sat in France, Scotland, La Palma Canary Island, England and Australia. I love the process of de... read more
