Recently retired we have sold our house and most of our
belongings and are now perpetual travelers! We lived in timeshares consistently for over 2 years. This lifestyle makes pet/house sitting a win-win alternative to short
term leasing and kenneling your pets when you need to be away from home. We quickly become friends with most
dogs and cats and Dale loves being around horses. We're flexible and open to
discuss your needs and promise to take good care of your home and furry friends
while you are away.
We were homeowners for 40+ years,
absentee landlords for several rental properties, including international
locations in Brazil and Mexico.. We parented an indoor cat for more than 15 years and did house
and/or pet sitting for friends. We understand the importance of
having reliable and safe house sitters; it was sometimes a challenge for us to
locate someone for our own pet/homes in the past.
We enjoy getting to know the locals... read more

First of all - I love cats!!!!!
My name is Irmgard, I'm 62 (1 daughter/1 granddaughter). Peter is my husband. We live in the north part of Germany near the city of Bremen. The beautifull place is called "Bad Zwischenahn", a small spa-town near a lake. We are owner of a lovely house.
Friends would describe me as an honest, responsible and tidy woman, who loves to travel. I'm a non-drinker and non-smoker. I have a drivers license since 42 years.
Some years ago I was the owner of 2 travel agencies. When I became older, I sold them, because Internet became more and more interest to the customers. Since that time I am working as a tour guide, mostly on cruise ships. In the last 20 years I have been all over the world, mostly with groups. Sometimes I had to look for more than 100 participants. Therefore I had only very little time for own explorations. I would like to visit museums and doing things, that need just more time. Furthermore I have to practice my English skills.

I would be honored to tend to your home, animals, garden and whatever needs doing. I'm a well seasoned traveler who has worked in Media (ABC TV, PR) for most of my professional life.
An ideal home stay for now is weekdays in Tampa/South Florida area or long weekends away. In 2022 I'll be open for a week+ stays within US. If overseas it's best to have access to homeowners car, bike or local transportation.
For work I manage clients and writing assignments from computer. In my travels I've babysat Alpacas to show Horses (avid rider), to exotic fish. I've ran estates on Long Island and hosted student travelers in my home. I'm a whiz at technology and do-it-yourself projects. I don't shy away from handling home emergencies.
My 23 year old kitty "Puma" crossed the "rainbow bridge" while I was out of the country. I relied on the kindness of (pet sitter, housekeeper and neighbor) who jumped in on my behalf and found the best emergency care. I am forever humbled... read more
