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 there!I am applying as an adventurous husband and wife team! We are in our young mid 50’s and would like to travel around before deciding where to retire. We cannot wait to see new places from a local perspective. We live in Queen Creek, AZ. We take pride in caring for our home and it shows – we would care for someone else’s home the same way. We are not currently pet owners but do love animals. Years ago, we used to have a beautiful little Arab horse and boarded her on a farm. I grew up on a 5-acre hobby farm in rural British Columbia, Canada. We raised every kind of farm animal you can imagine, including horses, pigs, and turkeys. It was there that I learned responsibility at a young age and developed a strong work ethic. I have worked in the medical field for most of my career. In 2020 I worked as a radiation scheduler at an oncology office in Portland but left... read more

Hello, I live in Boulder, Colorado. This morning I went on a trail run close to my home--I love being active and have pet-sat many friend's dogs who required daily exercise. I love to ski as well, and I do a bit of yoga every day. I LOVE to cook and grow food, and have cooked professionally at one point in my life. (Recently foraged nettles while on a hike and came home and made homemade ricotta-nettle ravioli). I'm adept at canning and preserving food. I've been a freelance photo stylist in commercial photography for almost 35 years and I'm ready to do something more. I love to travel and have traveled to Europe extensively. I have WWOOF'd in Italy and France, taking care of sheep & horses, cats and dogs, bed and breakfast, cooking, gardening, cleaning, ironing, etc. etc. During Covid Quarantine I stayed at my family's farm in South Dakota, and was able to reestablish my Mom's perennial gardens, as well as build two waist-high growing boxes, a... read more
