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’s 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, 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, 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.

I highly recommend Cheri Piefke as an excellent home/pet sitter. I've known Cheri for over 20 years as a neighbor and property owner. She is terrific at addressing issues as simple as routine housekeeping and yard maintenance to repairs and remodeling--she takes care of small or large issues promptly with a keen eye for quality. I worked with Cheri several years within our homeowner's association where she diligently completed work to explore options, meet with contractors, seek bids, and follow-through to completion. Her commitment to maintain quality in her own properties, including emergency or minor remodeling, keeps her homes in excellent condition.
I've invited Cheri into my home and appreciate how she regards my personal environment and belongings respectfully. Routines of watering the yard and house plants along with day-to-day chores have all been shared, even anticipated when Cheri's a guest.
Cheri is also a lover of pets--she talks to them, cares for them as if they are her own. Animals love her too! She connects with cats and dogs wonderfully. She is tuned in to learning an animal's personality quickly then responds accordingly.

I have known Frank Pagan for many years. He is an extremely trustworthy, dependable, and truly a problem-solving genius. Not to mention his skills in all of home care and renovation, from issues that no one else can solve to making sure each plant in the yard has all that it needs. It is rare to meet someone of his age that is so mature and wise, as well as having such practical knowledge. I would completely trust him with my home and my treasured pet Chewy, my miniature poodle. I love to travel, so Frank has stayed in my house many times taking care of all of my pets over the years and of course, always improving my home in my absence.
I could not recommend him more highly for TrustedHousesitters. If you want someone who can handle any kind of emergency and land on top, he is the one.
More recently, I have had the opportunity to stay with Frank and Cheri and be part of their renovation and sale of a home in Florida. Their partnership was dynamic. Their skills complement each other perfectly, as they were able to renovate and resell a home while living in the construction, and there was not 1 issue that they did not handle with ease. They worked together seamlessly and the results were always better than ever imagined. Plus they so enjoyed each other’s company that even in the middle of intense commitments, they always manage to find time to laugh and play. I highly recommend Frank and Cheri to be trustworthy housesitters.- Organised

I have known Cheri for many years and I have known Frank for quite some time. As a couple, they are a dynamic duo that can accomplish anything. I observed them over a 3 month period recently, renovating and selling a home just a few blocks from mine. Each day seemed to be a miracle as they transformed the place. Frank's skills at renovation and repair are above anyone I have ever met in the contractor field. I don't think there is anything to do with a home that he cannot accomplish.
Cheri has been a property manager and owner of many homes for years and has coached me on turning my property to investment, very successfully. She also guided me in upgrading and making it extremely more attractive for my enjoyment as well as my tenant.
Together, they cover all the bases imaginable in caretaking and loving your animals and your home. Their own home in Naples, FL is one of a kind, awesome and incredible.
Over the years, I have observed Cheri with her family dogs, Colbert and Boomer, rescued border collie mixes, and Tofu and Zena, her beloved kitties who recently passed. As always, with everyone, she gives of herself unendingly with love and attention to whomever is blessed to be in her presence.- Organised

This letter of recommendation is an honor for me to write. Please know, that if you are considering Cheri Piefke for pet and house sitting you are about to work with a woman you can trust completely and will get the job done efficiently, intelligently, quickly and with a smile. Her integrity, honesty, and sensitivity are among the many qualities I have found in her that make working with her so effortless. She loves people and animals alike and you will feel that genuinely. As I said, it is an honor knowing her, working with her and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me regarding her qualifications.
