We are a retired couple of healthy active teachers who live in downtown Toronto and would like to have opportunities to experience life in quieter parts of North America, and anywhere in Europe. We would also welcome the chance to be near Ottawa where we have two grandchildren. We have had two golden retrievers and love to walk dogs in the woods. We own our own historic central Toronto home and maintain it carefully, as we would yours. We also have a Muskoka cottage which is somewhat off the grid. We have travelled internationally for long periods and done five house sits through house-carers as well as many home exchanges in the past. We have looked after dogs, cats, chickens, cows, ducks, valuable art, plants, pools, a tenant, and even mailboxes. Now we would like to appreciate a variety of travel experiences and would consider anywhere you think would interest us.
