Katie & Michael

We are retired empty nesters and starting our new adventures. We love animals and have two cats of our own (Charlie and Mittens), who are totally spoiled and well loved. We have lots of experience caring for dogs too. Part of our love of traveling is relaxing and enjoying being part of a new community for a little while. We are quiet, tidy, non-smoking people who will treat your home even better than we do our own.

Katie is a “semi-retired” teacher who still does some teaching online, and volunteers for Kids Help Line as a texting crisis responder, so she requires internet while house/pet sitting. Mike is retired from a municipal government economic development role, and loves gardening and cooking. When we travel, our furry feline boys enjoy staying with their human sisters (our lovely daughters) at their place. One of our daughters is a social worker and the other is a professional dog groomer. (You can tell our caring natures and love of animals are genetic!)

Since we are new to this forum, I am happy to give you references for people for whom we have pet-sit before, as well as professional references from our current employers.
