We are a dynamic, super-positive couple poised to have complete freedom to passionately travel the world. I (Cheri) am a Delta Air Lines retiree and am committed to my art photography and enjoying life to the fullest, milking each experience that comes my way. Frank works “at home” via the Internet, creating a new web and smart phone application for contractors. Frank is a transplanted snowbird, who is thriving in the tropical climate here in southwest Florida. Also in total anticipation of new worldwide experiences. More photos and verifications coming!
We are both lifetime lovers of animals and have owned /cohabited with cats and dogs our entire lives. My 2 cats, Tofu and Zena just passed last year after 24 beautiful years on the planet, each. I was raised with English sheepdogs, cats and a multitude of rescue animals. My father used to complain that the fridge was filled with home cooked food for our pets with no room for his food. Currently, my close by extended family has 2 beloved rescue border collie/ lab mixes.
Frank was also raised with a multitude of assorted loved pets. His previous dog was a full bred Doberman, Phoebe, who attended training school for 16 weeks. “Phoebe” from the TV show “Friends”. He also has experience in rural areas, on friends' farms. Now we are free to love others’ pets, as well as their plants and sacred spaces. And not only free, but very much looking forward to having more frequent time with pets again.
Frank is a bi-lingual (Spanish) home renovation contractor and can fix anything so no need to worry about an emergency at your house. Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, you name it! We have renovated our new contemporary home in Naples to be spectacular. He is also super-techy and can fix/improve any issues with computers, wireless networks, printers, etc. We can easily stay in touch with your with our extensive experience with Skype, FaceTime, What’sApp, etc. We look forward to sending photos and videos daily if you desire.
I have excellent management and emergency skills from years of airport management, as well as extensive world traveling, and living in London for 5 years. I worked for several years as a tour guide, meeting buses of Europeans in LA and escorting them through all of our National Parks. My last official "position" was as faculty member at Omega Institute for 5 years, as a lecturer/consultant on energy medicine. I have been a property manager of my own real estate from a very young age and have flipped homes all my life. Together we have managed and renovated small homes to multi-million dollar estates and have always enjoyed it. Since we both fly for free (or taxes only), we are available to come 2-3 days early to your area and stay at our own expense. We want to make sure we get to know your pets, plants and home before you go! We respect each animal and appreciate their uniqueness. We want to love and spoil your pet, if you want! And of course, we are non smokers. It is very strict buying into a nicer neighborhood in Florida, so background checks are always required. Volunteering at the local school or flying on Delta as a previous employees requires background checks also.
In Naples, we love to swim in the Gulf, explore the Everglades, cook organically, practice yoga, dance tango, hike, enjoy the amazing live music in this area, ride our bikes and research our next beautiful palm to be planted. We are very lucky to live in a place surrounded by organic farms. Off to the gym daily so we are both extremely strong and fit. We honor and feel gratitude for each day and the beautiful life with which we are blessed. The glass is always full or at least half full. There is always a positive solution and growth experience from any contrast which comes our way. Life is a gift and it is ours to learn to receive it!
Why we want to house sit
We want to explore new places, meet people all over the world, take in new scenes, and have the opportunity to play with pets! With our new personal freedom, it is the perfect fit at this time in our lives. We love to help people and we love to love animals. We miss having our own pets but now, all of nature is our playground. As a photographer, house sit allows Cheri to experience and record the uniqueness of each locale.
We look forward to exchange our talents and love of animals into a wonderful win-win situation!
Our experience
At this time, we are awaiting our first exciting assignment from Trusted Housesitters for our new friends. We have stayed in friends’ and families homes while they were away for months at a time, so we have experience in home and animal sitting, plant care, pools and home repairs. Even emergency trips to the vet with others’ pets, and staying up all night with a sick animal. With our property management experience, we have excellent skills in any type of emergency management.

Cheri and Frank were FANTASTIC! They went above and beyond on all points and our 3 dogs they put up with were happy as clams when we came back home. They dealt with small construction/home repair issues while we were gone, helped take care of guests in our AirBNB apartment and even made us a homemade meal to warm up when we got home. I would have them come back and take care of my home anytime!!

Cheri and Frank were fantastic pet sitters! I sort of knew from their application video that they were probably over-achievers, and they sure were. Not only were they very friendly and warm, they were very responsible and kept in touch with us before the sit, which was in the midst of chaos for them shortly after hurricane Irma hit.
My daughter was worried that they'd forget about her fish. So she left post-it notes all over the house. When we got home they had written very cute funny messages on nearly all of them. They texted us lots of photos to assure us that everything was going well. That's such a nice thing to do since it's hard to be away from the furry and scaled family members that we love so much.
When we got home I noticed that they may have left my house even cleaner that when we left! That's really saying something because I'm pretty tidy myself. The cherry on top was that they even washed the dogs before we got home. That sure is going above and beyond!
They are a really sweet, thoughtful, responsible couple. We'd have them sit for us again in a heart beat. It's wonderful being able to travel knowing that someone so responsible and caring is taking such good care of everything at home. We highly recommend them.

Cheri and Frank dropped into my life truly at the last minute for a sitting job. Escaping the trauma of Florida hurricanes, they arrived at my door step, bleary-eyed but ready to go! After a pleasant get-to-know-everyone visit, everyone settled in for the night. That was the only time we got to chat face-to-face, as I left before dawn, but we communicated daily. This special couple not only took excellent care of my three fur babies, they took on the project of helping get my house ready for sale. I mean REALLY helping! If you want just basic pet/house care while you are away, don't get these wonderful people. They leave your animals and home in much better shape than when you left. They clean, repair, and love beyond words, all without being asked to. When God invented the word angels, He had Cheri and Frank as the models. They are incredible house/pet sitters and are the epitome of what is good in humankind. If you have the chance, grab these two to take care of your pets and home, they are the best.

About Cheri & Frank
We are a dynamic, super-positive couple poised to have complete freedom to passionately travel the world.

Frank works “at home” via the Internet, creating a new web and smart phone application for contractors. Frank is a transplanted snowbird, who is thriving in the tropical climate here in southwest Florida. Also in total anticipation of new worldwide experiences. More photos and verifications coming!
