We are an active couple experienced in house sitting since 2010. Conrad is a retired research scientist from the University of Michigan, and I, (Josie), am a writer, author and former business owner. We love hiking, whether it's in the mountains or exploring a city. We have taken care of an Australian bush home, an off-the-grid home in Southern Spain, to an architectural gem overlooking Albuquerque, New Mexico, plus many others. I have experience with horses, and we have cared for reptiles, fish, farm animals, and many dogs and cats. It's hard to say good-bye to our new furry, (or otherwise textured!), friends at each house sit. I have cared for huge gardens. I'll even prune your bushes. We have owned many homes, have renovated flooring and kitchens, and know when something's out of whack! We like keeping busy and would be honored to look after your home.
