I'm a financial planner in my 50's who works remotely from home (all I need is my cell phone and wi-fi to work). I'm a responsible person and people trust me with their retirement nest eggs, and you can trust me with your home and pets! I would like to travel more and explore the country. House and pet sitting is much more satisfying than staying in a hotel, and I hope you'll consider my application seriously. I can provide references if needed. Thanks for considering me! 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
