Empty nesters looking to pet sit while enjoying local experiences aboard

I've been a friend with Rich for over 7 years and he is always accountable for the things he promises. He is caring and because of that he is also responsible for his actions. He cares for his family and friends and does what it takes to help them feel secure, loved and supported. I would trust him with my home and pets as well as any family member should it come to that. He has renovated several houses and the care he takes with them shows in the finished product: attention to detail, security systems, cleanliness, well thought out designs. I have also been camping and hiking with Rich. I believe this is an environment that requires trust, out in the wilderness. He is a scout and knows a lot of skills that are important for supporting each other out in the rough. He has helped to support me in many ways, including camp setup as well as being able to rely on each other for survival in the mountains. Similarly, in daily life, I feel the same way about his character. He is reliable and responsible and caring which all translate into trust in my book. His solid character is the reason why I would trust him with my home and my pet.
