My wife and I are transitioning into retirement. I am an Associate Professor Emeritus in Psychiatry at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. We are early risers. Much of my work is data analysis so I can do it on weekends or in the evening hours.
I grew up building three houses with my father and we remodeled our current home.
As far as experience as a house sitter, I am new to this, but we have raised our kids and many pets(!) in our current house that we have owned since 1998. I have built a sauna in the back, a luxurious deck in the front and we take care of our wonderfully expanding garden. I take care of all repairs and yard work. If necessary, I am comfortable reaching out to contractors, repair services and can explain the "diagnosis" and I have experience finding the best person or company ("treatment") for the job. We previously owned a second home in Central Washington that we rented out, so I have plenty of experience taking care of a home from a distance (at any time of the day) and making repairs when necessary. Thank you, Paul
