Hello there:Tony and I truly love exploring the world around us via house sitting opportunities.We are currently house sitting for a lovely home in Jerusalem. It has afforded us many opportunities to explore various parts of the country.  The home owners have funny cat and lovely German Shepherd that we care for. We also maintain the pool on the property, which we also enjoy swimming in. We are proud to take good care of the property and look forward to future house sits here. We have had some amazing house sitting assignments! One was a gorgeous home in Sonoma County, California, near San Francisco, where we also had the pleasure of caring for their pets, Scarlett, a beautiful Burnese Mountain Dog and two super friendly cats while their people family travelled in Latin America. We've had assignments in Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Bonaire; Baltimore, Maryland; LaPorte, Indiana; Key West, Florida; and now San Ginesio, Italy.

Greetings! We know what it’s like to have a home, pets and land and to need someone to look after it as well as we would ourselves. That’s what brought us to this site to begin with, as hosts. We’ve lived on a small off-grid island in the South Pacific for the last 9 years and built it up from scratch into a thriving resort, with multiple bungalows, a main-house, boats and lots of landscaping. Before that we lived on our 42’ sailboat for 8 years, sailing through the Pacific, and prior to that we lived in the East Bay Area of the city of San Francisco, where we originally hail from. We’ve experienced numerous and varied life-styles and living situations in our 19 years together and we have come to know what homeowners need in a valuable house-sitter. Beginning in early 2020 we will have managers tending our island retreat. That will free up our time and so we are ready to again follow our traveler’s hearts, seeking adventure and to see some more of this b... read more
