Hello there:Tony and I truly love exploring the world around us via house sitting opportunities.We are currently house sitting for a lovely home in Jerusalem.

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 30 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, 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, and I pruned and... 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
