We are both US citizens with Permanent Resident NZ Visas. We're pausing our travels in New Zealand for bit and are now looking for interesting house sitting jobs in the US.

Our house and farm sitting experience includes:
1. Two weeks house and dog sitting in Montana. We were responsible for a 12-year old, and lovely, Golden Retriever, performed general housekeeping, and maintained the yard.

2. Two separate, one month terms farm sitting in Canterbury and an additional week and half. We cared for approximately 300 goats, 100 sheep/lambs, farm dogs, chickens, etc. We also did general housework, repaired fences, resolved any emergent issues with the animals, etc.

3. Two short term stints (a few days both times), minding a larger property with horses, sheep, pigs, chickens, and a cat. Again, we provided daily care for the animals, worked in the garden, cut wood, etc.

Charlotte is a retired emergency room nurse and I've worked technology and cybersecurity for about 25 years. We have a rural, mountain property in the Sierra Nevada and have done plenty of painting, gardening, yard work, minor house/building repairs, roofing, fencing, wood cutting, bee keeping, etc. We have also both worked as wildland firefighters and have experience using chainsaws to clear brush, fell trees, and cut firewood.

I still work 1/2 time for an employer in New Zealand. My work is primarily writing and Zoom meetings, so I can work anywhere we can get reliable Internet access, or where our StarLink dish can get a good view of the northern sky.

We have Sprinter motor home we'll need to park at the site where we are house or farm sitting.

Charlotte is a retired emergency room nurse and I've worked technology and cybersecurity for about 25 years. We have a 2.5 acre property and home in the Sierra Nevada range and have done plenty of painting, gardening, yard work, minor house/building repairs, roofing, fencing, wood cutting, bee keeping, etc. We have also both worked as wildland (bush) firefighters and have experience using chainsaws to clear brush, fell trees, and cut firewood.

I still work 1/2 time for an employer in New Zealand. My work is primarily writing and Zoom meetings, so I can work anywhere we can get reliable Internet access, or where our StarLink dish can get a good view of the southern sky.

We have Sprinter motor home we'll need to park at the site where we are house or farm sitting.

Dave and Charlotte have done a wonderful job on three occasions looking after my farm. They are hard working, reliable and have fantastic attention to detail. They communicate decisions, actions and questions on a very frequent basis and go well above expectations to make sure that the goats and dogs are well cared for. Would high recommend them and hope to see them again next year!
