My wife and I have always had cats and dogs some times fish and turtles. Our home is across the street from an 11-acre pond an annually we have large turtles who in the spring will come out from the pond to lay eggs in our front yard. We don't always see the babies cross the road to make it back to the pond, but a time or two we have helped them to the woods. I'm retired and my grandchildren have reached the age where PaPa isn't needed' until its time to buy something. I look forward to helping weary travelers piece of mind while their away. The reason we're interested in providing this service is we had to use house sitters and dog watchers ourselves when we travel.
