House Sitter in Portland, Oregon

We are a mature, responsible and active 57 and 64 year old New Zealand couple who own our own homes and have older children. Adrienne is an accomplished artist and sculptor and I have owned an organic farm, vineyard, winery and cafe. We're both pretty handy with DIY and other practical work around the house and garden, as well as with a range of pets and farm animals. We love meeting new faces and sharing ideas about the world, and about the land. We document everything we do with photographs and love cooking, food, wine, music. We've each travelled extensively. I taught in England and Australia for 13 years and worked on farms in Uganda. Adrienne has worked in Tonga, China and UK. We are non-smokers! Having reached the age of semi-retirement we are keen to travel the world. Currently we're WWOOFing and house sitting in our home country, New Zealand and soon we'll be heading overseas towards Canada, USA, Central America and who knows where else on the way! House sitting is a great way to help and be helped - a win-win. We would love to add you to our list of new friends! As well as offering the skills and experience above, we have been house sitting in New Zealand, and have had house sitters in our own homes - so we know how important it is to leave your home in safe, reliable, caring and trustworthy hands. We have excellent references available on request.
