We are a couple in our sixties.
In the 1990s we founded several projects in East Africa together including uconnect.org.
Lisa is highly experienced with animals. Ahe grew up in Nebraska on a country farm and I have experience taking care of animals with Lisa. Lisa has cared for horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, a falcon, and even two raccoons. Lisa trained horses and taught riding to others from the age of 13. We are now travelling between Europe the USA and Africa where we spend 6 months of the year still working in educating children through our NGO Uconnect.
Why we want to house sit
We would like to do house and pet sitting between the times we visit our children and grandchildren who are scattered between the USA and Europe. We are very good at moving into a new situation and doing what needs to be done . We don't just love animals, we are real people persons as well and enjoy seeing new places and making new friends.
Our experience
We have taken care of many homes for others in Europe and we had our own home Uganda with pets for 10 years.
Lisa , who grew up in Omaha Nebraska, started riding horses when she was four years old thanks to a grandmother who was a great horsewoman and lived next door. Lisa was caring for and training horses by the age of 13 by herself. Dogs were an integral part both Daniel and Lisa's lives. Lisa has cared for several dogs at a time.
We are in semi-retirement still working 6 months of the year in Africa. Our children who children grew up between Europe and East AFrica are settled in Geneva Switzerland and the United States. We are presently standing in to care for our son's children and dog Penny, in Canyon Country Los Angeles until the end of October 2017.

We were so pleased to have found such an Amazing and caring couple to take care of our House and Dog, we could not have hoped for better people. They cared for our dog as if it was there own. We had heard reports from our neighbours that they were always out and about with our dog. On return of our Holiday, they had even cleaned and prepared our house for us, such us cleaning all bed linen, which was not at all expected. We have since stayed in touch and have them twice already. I would without a doubt recommend Daniel and Lisa.

Daniel and Lisa were wonderful. They took my dogs for walks, gave them loves, and basically were great to my pets. Can't ask for anything more!
