Active young retirees, who are experienced house sitters available for the fall of 2012. Joe has trained dogs since a teenager and I am a retired nurse executive. We have enjoyed caring for different types of pets and in different settings. In New England we would be available for shorter stays, including weekends. For distant travel of course we look for stays 3 weeks or longer. Our references are excellent and your pets and home are well cared for. We want you to return to contented animals and a clean home. House sitting has allowed us to come to know different areas. We enjoy learning about your community and the people. Hobbies include hiking, kayaking, alpine skiing and folk/bluegrass music. Joe plays some guitar and I enjoy cooking. Our home owners will give you excellent references and the pets will endorse. Your travels should not include worries about home. Work, enjoyment, what ever the trip we want you to have a great time. We can provide more information as requested. Best Peg & Joe
