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

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 lots 2 cats and a dog (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

My passion for working with others easily transfers to caring for animals. I grew up in a family-owned hardware store in the Midwest, the Heartland. My upbringing has allowed me to develop a skill set of 'handiness' allowing me to troubleshoot most unforseen issues.I've lived in NYC, Chicago, Minneapolis, Connecticut, the rural high desert mountains of southern Arizona and Nebraska. I love rural living just as much as major cities. I've traveled Europe, wandering, exploring many countries. I've house, cat and dog sat in France, England and Australia. Three years ago, I spent close to 8 months traveling around the world. I am comfort... read more

My husband, David Mobley, and I are retired and living the good life at the beach in Florida. We love to travel and would like to take advantage of house sitting as a means to a win-win situation for us and the home owners. We are very experienced animal/pet lovers and are great at administering love and affection to pets. We recently lost our 23 year old cat and a year earlier, our 19 year old cat.

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
