I am a retired businessman and I love to travel and discover new places and cultures. I am footloose and have covered most of Canada and the USA in the past five years. I enjoy traveling in my little VW Jetta - taking my time to see the sights and smell the roses along the way.
I'm 68 years old, I have a lovely lady in my life who is anxious to be part of the home sitting jobs that I get involved in. She is recently retired and loves to travel as well.
My interests include my grandchildren, golfing, hiking, clean eating, reading, movies, sports, snowshoeing, and life in general.
I have owned several different houses over the years and am comfortable in most home situations. I grew up on a farm in Manitoba and can handle myself around the house, home, and animals. I enjoy pets immensely and I have shared my roof with several dogs and cats over the years. My favorite pets are cats and I love to tend to their needs with much affection.
I come from a business background, was self employed most of my career and am still involved in business as an owner.. I am a Past President of the Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce and over the years have lived in Manitoba, Alberta, and the NWT for over 30 years. I do not smoke or take drugs, I do enjoy a good micro-brewed IPA or a nice glass of Shiraz now and then.
Since joining housecarers I have looked after homes and a variety of pets at five locations. My first was Jordan River on Vancouver Island, Terrebonne Montreal, Yellowknife NWT, New Westminster BC, and Victoria BC. I have asked for references from three of the home owners which have been added to my profile.
I'm always interested in a new adventure and love to explore new locations. I should mention that I'm not limited to jobs in Canada. I love to travel, my passport is current, and I am willing to meander anywhere if the right situation presents itself. I should also mention that I will not take just any home sitting job for the sake of traveling. The situation has to work for myself as well as the home owner always keeping in mind that I do not charge for my service.
I keep a blog in which I have updated my activities over the past couple of years. If you would like to know a bit more about me, please feel free to check it out.
