About Patricia & Gary
We are an active married couple in our 50's, who enjoy meeting people and pets, exploring new places, and experiencing what life has to offer! We have just sold our "dream home" of 30 years and downsized to a smaller place so that we can be ready for extended travel opportunities.

We are an active married couple in our 50's, who enjoy meeting people and pets, exploring new places, and experiencing what life has to offer! We have just sold our "dream home" of 30 years and downsized to a smaller place so that we can be ready for extended travel opportunities. We lived abroad as expats in Europe for several years and have traveled extensively for the last 30 years. We love living like locals, so house sitting seems perfect! We're both engineers and have built and remodeled our own houses, so no problem if repair and maintenance skills are needed.
Why we want to house sit
We are looking for a way to travel, meet people, and experience local, non-touristy life in different places. We love having a home base where we can hang out, relax, cook, read, walk, etc. Any pet interaction is a real bonus for us!
Our experience
Patty was a house sitter in her 20's for several clients in the Los Angeles area. She was required to take care of plants and animals, deal with security systems, and in one case, she even did the owner's payroll for their small business for several weeks while they were on vacation. Gary has not done any house sitting, but he is the consummate "fix-it" man. He can handle most mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and automotive issues with ease. We have had both cats and dogs as part of our family, and are caring and playful with them. We have some limited experience with other pets, such as chickens, goats, pigs, and reptiles.

I’ve known Patty and Gary for almost 20 years and I can’t think of a more caring, capable, and responsible couple to watch over your pets and home. They are experienced travelers, loving pet owners, and very conscientious. You will never have to worry about a thing!
