We are currently in the Denver region (not in our state of residence) and are interested in anything in the Northwest or South. If you have any house sitting or pet-sitting requirements, we are most interested.
We are a retired professional, married, active couple - previously an Aerospace Engineer/ Manager and a Government Contracts Manager. We both had top government security clearances for our work which required extensive background checks of our integrity and trustworthiness.
We had been homeowners for 45 years and are well versed in maintenance, gardening, upkeep and house security. In addition, we owned rental homes for decades which we maintained ourselves, to pristine condition. With age comes experience, skills, knowledge, and an understanding of what is involved in such a large responsibility.
We have hired house/pet sitters ourselves over the years and we know what to look for. We have had dogs and cats and an aquarium all of our lives, and only when the last pet died and we started traveling full time were we without pets. That’s why we enjoy the pets of others so much. We love taking walks and always walk the dogs of our friends and family when visiting them.
We have been housesitters for friends who entrusted their homes and pets to our safekeeping. At one house sitting experience, the home was for sale and being shown, and we maintained the house in “show-ready” condition throughout our stay. As another one of our friends stated when water problems occurred during our watch, “who better to watch our house than an engineer!”
As previous tenants (during the past 7 years), we always left the home in better condition than when we moved in. One landlord even waived our cleaning deposit since we repaired the sprinkler heads and maintained the weeds & rock better than he had.
When we retired, we sold our home and all of our rental properties and hit the road. We are now in our 8th year of moving around and getting to know areas in depth. We would love to watch over your property, pets & gardens while you are out of town, as this exposes us to different parts of the country.
Thank you, Pat & Ron
