We are Alison, a retired teacher and James, a retired librarian. We've lived in Iowa
City, Iowa for the past 30 years and are often called on by friends, neighbors and
relatives to look after pets, plants and collect mail while they're away.
We became active with House Carers just before the pandemic (Jan- March 2020)
Four years later, we're both fully vaccinated and anxious for an opportunity to spend
time in a space/ location other than our home/ home town.
James enjoys reading, writing, and is an avid fan of the K.C. Chiefs and K.C. Royals.
He takes long walks. During the past few years, Alison has taken up tennis and piano,
and both pursuits continue to be works in progress.
We are healthy, adventuresome, and enjoy being active.
Easy going, down to earth, and dependable, we like exploring new places from the
perspective of a "local" vs. that of a tourist.
We take seriously the responsibility of looking after your home and caring for your
pets while you're away. We are glad to communicate with you via text and photos
during that time.
Please contact us if you have questions. Thank you for considering us!
