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

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

July 2025, I finished an amazing house sitting and air bnb manager role in Switzerland. Villa Wilen is one of the most sought after properties in Switzerland for its exquisite views, the care the owners put into every single detail, and ideal location to visit all parts of the region.....****Passionate about exploring new areas in an unconventional manner. Never knowing what might pop up is fun!I look at assignments as an excellent way to live a more 'locals' life while still being somewhere new! And I know having someone responsible, such as myself, taking care of things while you're away could bring great peace of mind and pleasure to your travels. I have bought and sold 4 houses all as a single highly independent individual with a good sense of organization, cleanliness, respect and moral compass. And I love animals to my core!A career claim to fame is when the University of Chicago asked me to open up a study abroad center for them in Paris! I bec... read more
