House Sitter in Columbus, Ohio

We are a retired Navy couple (I attended the DLI in 1964-65 and met my wife who taught school in PG then), who have house.pet sat for 15 families over the past 10 years. After military service we lived on the Peninsula for several years and then moved back to the Midwest. We have returned back to the Peninsula many times since the 1990's and have many outstanding local references, both from families for whom we have taken care of their homes, dogs and cats, and many other friends, some of whom we have known for 50 years. We are non-smokers, non-drinkers, avid gardeners and would take excellent care of your home, pets and gardens. We are house/pet sitting for a friend in North County until Dec 29, but hope to be able to remain on the Peninsula through January and perhaps in February. If you are planning a trip or know of friends who are, we would be grateful to hear from you. We would be happy to meet with you to exchange any information that you would need in order to use us. As to a fee, that is completely negotiable and we have sat for free on a number of occasions. Thank you for your time and consideration. Bill and Julie Hood
