We are homeowners, and previous pet-owners, who understand how important a rich and comfy home-life is. I have been self-employed in the Design field all my life while my husband worked for the best 5-star hotel chain in the world for 39 years. We recently decided we would like to travel several months of the year, staying for longer periods in each destination, getting to live as the locals do. So we retired a little early, pared down our possessions and have begun housesitting, house-swapping and renting our house to make this all happen.
Why we want to house sit
We want to house sit because there is no better way to entrench yourselves into a neighbourhood or a city than to stay in a home. If there is a pet involved, then it gets even better. What better way to start the day than a walk through your neighbourhood with your furry friend. We are physically active and love the rhythm of getting outdoors with a pet regularly.
We have a lovely home of our own and we understand how great it feels to know that while we are away, some kindred spirits are keeping an eye on things for us. A worry-free getaway!
Our experience
I have been a homeowner, and cottage owner all my life so I understand the importance of stewardship of a home. We are utterly respectful, quiet and diligent non-smoking adults who have house-swapped with multiple families/couples in other countries. We love pets and are used to living with them up until recently when we have become 'nomadic retirees', while renting or swapping our homes out so we can live in other parts of the world. We are competent and experienced homeowners and are well used to household systems, materials, maintenance, upkeep and I have had years of experience in residential construction and renovation so have a keen eye to look after your building.
