Retired, dependable, non-smoking living in Tulsa, OK. Lifelong cat and dog owners. We have used housesitters for our own home and know that we value someone who will keep the pets happy, the plants watered, and the house tidy. Have hosted many international visitors and exchange students in our home so we know how to adapt to many situations and enjoy the variety. We are easy-going, flexible and will respect your property and treat it with care, so that you can have peace of mind while you are away.

In addition to enjoying big city settings and lifestyle, we have housesat on a farm in Austin with chickens and donkeys, a farm in Maine with horses, and another in western Colorado with sheep and chickens. Of course there were dogs on the farms and a cat on one.

We own our home and have lived in a large 90-year-old home in a historical district and now live in a contemporary townhouse. We use Airbnb and vrbo.com on travels and always have positive reviews and will be happy to share those reviews.

David has a complete background check as part of his maritime responsibilities and is a trained security officer, and Marianne has a current background check as a CASA (guardian ad litem). David likes sailing, reading, and movies, and Marianne enjoys board games, volunteering, and beekeeping. While you are away, we will be happy to send you pictures of your pets and home, or we can skype if you wish.

Feel free to ask us any questions or let us know if you have special circumstances. We are looking forward to housesitting for you.

Dan and Marianne were absolutely incredible house sitters. They took great care of our pets who are old and need more than a little attention. They are both 17 and one needs to be fed several times a day. They were both really wonderful communicators and checked in with us whenever there was a question or a cute photo to share. They took great care of our house, too, they were wonderfully responsible and responsive to our communications. We were happy that they felt so comfortable in our home ... MORE

To be accurate, the dates of the sit was July 29th thru August 8th. David and Marianne were just terrific! They went beyond our expectations and we found everything, including our cat, in perfect condition. I highly recommend David and Marianne and would gladly welcome them back to our home anytime. I am kind of a stickler for communication and I was very pleased at how responsive they were both before and during the sit. Thank you again, David and Marianne for caring for our home ... MORE
