favoriteWhy we love house sitting

Giving the homeowner peace of mind while being away and having the opportunity to visit and explore new places. We love animals, adventure, meeting people and making new friends!

Married 45 years and former business partners for 35, David and I are non-smoking Colorado transplants who previously RV'd full-time. David enjoys woodworking and repairs while I'm a baker, knitter and former therapy dog handler. We're active outdoors people (hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, golf, pickleball) with problem-solving skills who'll provide excellent care for your pets and property.

Pet care

As dedicated dog owners, we bring substantial animal care experience. I trained a dog to give to my father and prepared my therapy dog for nursing home, hospital, and hospice visits. My animal background extends to raising and training horses from childhood.

Read moreWhen we moved to Colorado 5 years ago we house sat our friends home while they were out of town. We cared for their dog and fish. We would happily provide them as a reference. Also, we stayed with a cousin in her home for a few weeks and would happily provide her for a reference. We also have personal longtime friends and family to provide for references.
