My wife and I are now both ready to explore the world now that our children are finished with college and graduate school and on their own. My background is primarily in higher education and non/for-profit administration, though I spent sometime studying and performing as an opera singer. Kim has had a career in early childhood administration most recently with Head Start. We are both very active and enjoy walking, hiking, biking, sailing, gardening and working around the house.

Why we want to house sit

Kim and I have recently retired and want to travel and experience communities around the world by participating in them as neighbor rather than tourist. We have done a number of housesits and Air B and B experiences and have loved every minute. Housesitting allows you to actually get to know the homeowner and their pets, and, often their friends and neighbors, in a way that is infinitely more real and considerably more enjoyable than a hotel stay.

Our experience

Both of us have had extensive experience house and dogsitting in Mexico, Chicago and California as we have used this as an opportunity to have extended stays near our children. Until downsizing to our small cottage on the north shore of Lake Michigan, we maintained our 4600 square foot home on the Leelanau Peninsula, managing it's rental during the summer while our children attended music camp nearby. We have always meticulously maintained our homes and appreciate the importance of having guests who will care for our home as we would ourselves. We have been letting out our beachhouse the last 2 years through Airbnb with great success achieving superhost status after nearly 100 percent 5-star review and 100 percent occupancy. We can provide a link to our listing for you to look at the 75+ reviews received to date. We always endeavor to leave the home better than we found it and our numerous references can attest to that. We have had several dogs and cats over our time together and, as parents of three now adult children, have had experience with an occasional rabbit, rat and the like. We have always been attentive and loving caretakers of our animals and have worked primarily as petsitters with a number of different breeds and temperaments of dogs and cats.

    Jerry and Kim have quite a lot of housesitting and pet care experience. They stayed at our place for a couple of weeks over the Summer and took great care of our home and pets. We got regular updates, which was much appreciated, and their presence in our home allowed up to feel confident and carefree over the course of our vacation.
    If you have pets, be assured that they are both animals lovers, a plus in my opinion.
    I can confidently recommend them!

    Jerel and Kim are the most wonderful couple you could ask for. We have used many house sitters before but they are awesome. A mature couple that have much experience with their own property. Our house was so clean and our pet was so happy I dont think she even missed us. We were so lucky to have Jerel and Kim come at even a moments notice as we wanted to go see our kids for Christmas. We are so glad we found them and hope that they will consider helping us out again in the future!!!! If you choose them, you will be glad you did.
