																		 We began our house/pet sitting experience in Estes Park, CO for six months in 2014 (through a personal ad) and enjoyed the cat sitting opportunity  and home location so much that we joined Luxury House Sitting, House Sitters America and Mind My House to seek out additional adventures through these websites.During 2016, Luxury House Sitting connected us with three great house/dog sittings.  FL, MI, and CO and 2019 a five week sit in CA!  2017 - 2019 we completed nine house/dog/cat sittings in AZ, CA, NM, MA, WA and OR through the Mind My House website.  Additional house sits from other websites from 2020-21 has totaled us seventeen  successful sits!  We hope caring for your home and pet(s) will be our next assignment!!  Dean, age 67,  retired seven years ago from being self-employed owning a chain of hair salons (Fantastic Sams) in the tri-county area of Charleston, SC.  Upon retirement, during Summers and Falls, Dean worked as a seasonal Par... read more

																		 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

																		 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
