Semi-retired couple available to travel to house sit your home. I am a retired firefighter/paramedic and I have a very active "handyman" business. But I set my own hours and select my own jobs. We or I can travel and often do to help our children / grandchildren that are in military families; especially when husbands are deployed. Past history: 3 yrs in military, Federal Bureau of Investigation (fingerprint tech), 20 years fighter/paramedic, 50 yrs in "construction" so I can perhaps do some painting, etc. at the same time.

We are very honest and responsible, do not drink or smoke and are respectful of other peoples belongings. We are very good with pets (and children). I can provide many, many business client references as well as personal ones. We can pass any back... read more
