About Nancy & Wayne

My husband Wayne and I are a professional, responsible, non smoking couple who love animals, outdoor activities, and traveling. My husband is a University Professor, and I worked as a Registered Nurse in hospitals and Surgery Centers for 43 years before recently retiring in order to have more time with our 2 young grandchildren that we dote on. We are clean and tidy people, and will make sure your home is well looked after. We have animals of our own, and know how much their care, happiness and safety means to us.

Why we want to house sit

We are excited for the opportunity to be able to give loving care to pets, watch over and care for personal property, and experience new communities. This fall Wayne is on sabbatical and we are hoping to travel during the less traditional vacation times. Wayne and I both love to travel, but enjoy staying in one place, relaxing, and getting to know one area intimately rather than trying to see all the iconic sites in a quick, hectic tour. As pet owners and pet lovers, the ability to travel and have the company of furry friends is a wonderful opportunity for us. We both enjoy walking, hiking, skiing, snow shoeing, and kayaking, as well as relaxing with a good book. We especially enjoy taking dogs along with us when we hike and walk, as the pleasure and excitement the dogs experience adds to our own feeling of well being. Wayne will be spending much of his time during the stay doing prep work for his spring classes

Our experience

We are active people and have always had cats and dogs and other pets. I was raised on a working farm in Kansas, and am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. My husband was born and raised in Miami Florida and enjoys fish and reptiles, along with cats and dogs. We had rural acreage in Washington State for 20 years, where we kept horses and had a large garden.

My nursing experience has left me comfortable providing routine health care to pets including injections and medications, although my husband is the "cat whisperer" when it comes to giving pills to cats.

Nancy and Wayne Powel are very reliable and trustworthy people who take great care of my house, two dogs and two cats. The animals love them and look forward to their visits, and the house is always in great shape when we get home, I enjoy receiving the many pictures they text while we are away, and it makes our vacations so much more enjoyable knowing that our animals are well taken care of.
