Very flexible about what you may desire in a person to homesit / manage your home/estate, most anything is negotiable. Quite able to travel for you should that be necessary. I provide my own transportation & resources. It is not important for me to know why you will be away, where you will be or what you will be doing. However, it would not be what you have envisioned it to be, if you are constantly concerned about your home, property or animals. My intention is to remove that concern so you can either deal with, or enjoy, whatever the circumstances you are about to embark on. I will be only a phone call away & of course, e-mail. Once on-site, I rarely leave the premises except to shop, attend church or an occasional outing. I make certain there is no predictability as to my comings or goings. I provide most all I require for bed, bath, kitchen and day to day living. I am not there to deplete your resources. My main goal is for you & yours to have a mindset free of any concern regarding your property & the care of your animals while you are away. Upon your return, once we've bid our farewells & I’m gone, I want you & yours to look around & be almost convinced that you’d never left & I was never there. I carry a State Farm Insurance Policy to protect both of us. YOUR WORRIES STOP HERE! Stipend and or travel expense may be discussed depending on length of time and amount of work and responsibility required.
