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

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

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.
