Alice (retired RN) and Rick (retired banker/small business owner) are seeking house and pet sitting opportunities. Both of us are very responsible, organized, practical, and orderly. We understand the needs and responsibility of caring for a home and animals. We believe in treating everyone as we want to be treated and caring for your home and animals as we would care for our own.
Why we want to house sit
While we have been fortunate to have travelled throughout the U.S., Spain, France, and England, we want to experience these and other places more as a local, rather than a tourist. We want to learn about new and different locations and cultures, to interact with local people and environments.
We love and enjoy animals. While we have our own pets, we always really enjoy our family and friends pets when we visit. So, housesitting and having the opportunity to love and care for pets is really a double win for us.
Our experience
We have owned homes for over forty (40) years and are very experienced in the requirements of caring for and maintaining both homes and grounds.
We have had and loved many animals, getting our first two cats (brothers) during our first month of marriage (47 years ago). We have extensive experience in the care and training of dogs and cats (cats, maybe not so much).
We have owned and managed an eighty acre horse farm, which we recently sold. While we owned our farm, we raised and cared for many horses, including mares and foals.
We love animals and take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously.

Alice and Rick are mature, responsible, tidy and thoughtful. And they took GREAT care of our cat Smokey. They sent us an email with a photo every week to let us know that Smokey was fine. They took scrupulous care of our house, and it was spotless when we got home. I can't recommend them highly enough. We're already talking with them about sitting for us again.

The second time that Alice and Rick have house and pet sat for us. We were very happy the first time and equally happy the second time. The house was again immaculate upon our return and a steady stream of information during our month away kept us informed. Thank you Alice & Rick!

We had the opportunity to meet Alice and Rick at our house, before we headed off on our travels. Very reassuring! They proved to be very reliable, conscientious house and pet keepers and effective communicators. The house was immaculate upon our return.
