Both are retired professionals(Engineer and Caregiver).Have pride in ownership and will care for your home as our own.We enjoy being with animals and caring for them.
Why we want to house sit
Enjoy traveling but are not the "touristy" types. Prefer to stay in an area to meet the local people and experience how they live. House sitting provides a way to do this and minimize expenses.
Our experience
Have renovated homes and cared for animals throughout our married life .Have had dogs, sheep,goats, pigs and poultry. Have owned and cared for rental units so we have seen the best of people and the worst as far as home care. We take pride in where we live even if temporary.Have also completed 17 house sits in Queensland and Tasmania, Australia. We have copied the references from another site and can E-mail them.
We have been with animals throughout our lives and enjoy working with them and caring for them.

John and Mary-Jane have just looked after my dog Hope and my home for 10 days. They are very kind and caring people and my Hopey loved them and the fuss they gave her. The house was spotless when I got back. They took such good care of everything. In fact I wish they lived nearer so we could be friends. I highly recommend John and Mary-Jane.

We were pleased to have Jack and Mary Jane in our home and taking care of our cats. They were very kind to our kitty Nina when she became sick just as we were leaving on our trip. Took her to the vet, communicated well with us about the resolution. Jack was very sweet and calm getting Nina into her carrier. They are easy going, considerate people. We enjoyed getting to know them and recommend them without reservation. They have interesting travel stories too :)

They arrived on the day of our Christmas bash here on the finca, and helped us make around seventy pizzas for the crowd of over 100 guests. Then they helped us clean up. We left the next morning.
When we arrived home from our travels, the house was immaculate, Mary had decorated the place with some beautiful flower arrangements, Jack was playing with the pups, and dinner was ready.
These two people are amazing, and we are happy to call them new friends.- Organised
