One of our goals for the next few years is to see and experience as much of this beautiful country as possible, and we are doing this mostly through house and pet sitting. We are both non-smokers, healthy, strong, and young at heart, and believe we have much to offer through house and pet sitting. We love animals, gardening and the outdoors, and are consummate walkers! We owned our own home in Zimbabwe for 30 years where we raised and loved several generations of dogs, cats, and all manner of additional creatures. If given the opportunity we can guarantee you your home, animals, and gardens will be loved and cared for as if they were our own, providing for you a stress-free time away from home.
