Hi all, I retired early and divide my time between hanging out at my Niagara home and travelling for hiking, biking, snowboarding, running and just getting to new places. I love animals and I've owned cats and dogs at various times in my life but since retirement have been away enough that it doesn't really work for me at the moment. (Although I have fish and frogs in my backyard pond!) I'm now using housesitting to get a little extra travel while enjoying time spent with everyone else's pets!
