About David & Valerie

My wife and I live in a rural area of Ohio with two dogs, four cats, and an African Clawed frog. All of our pets are rescues, except the frog which I raised from a tadpole. He (Hopper) is now 22 years old. Been in the same home for 30 years. Raised two children, and now have three grandchildren. I'm a Mechanical Design Engineer for an internatio...

My wife and I live in a rural area of Ohio with two dogs, four cats, and an African Clawed frog. All of our pets are rescues, except the frog which I raised from a tadpole. He (Hopper) is now 22 years old. Been in the same home for 30 years. Raised two children, and now have three grandchildren. I'm a Mechanical Design Engineer for an international manufacturer of commercial air conditioning and power support products. My wife used to be in the IT support industry, but has dedicated the last 10 years to becoming a successful indie author and is doing quite well at it. I do all of our house maintenance, remolding and landscaping, and vehicle maintenance. So taking care of a home is a normal affair.

Why we want to house sit

When the children were young, personal travel meant primitive camping in tents to save money. Over the pass few years we've been renting houses around the US in stead of camping or staying in hotels. We've found this more to our liking in order to prepare our own meals and the feeling of being at home, or at least staying with a friend. So the next step is house sitting to allow us the ability for economical travel. Neither of us are the type of people to check tourist hot spots off a check list and we don't like organized tours or cruises. We feel house sitting will give us a real world experience of the local cultures, life styles, and hopefully make new acquaintances.

Our experience

As mentioned above, taking care of a house and caring for pets has been a life style. Over the years we have had dogs, cats, hamsters, amphibians, horses, and goats. In May of 2018 we house sat for 3 cats, 2 Dogs, and a turtle for 7 days. We both have had some international business traveling experience, and would like to do more as a couple.
