As seen on House Hunters International :-) Bylines in Outward Hound, Chewy, Petvet, International Living, and many more. Rick Toone and I are a responsible, mature couple with pet​/​house sitting experience. As an animal lover, I'm also a pet writer and former dog treat baker. We're from the U.S., we're well-traveled, and want to explore more of the world. As empty-nesters (Rick has two children in their early 20's and we just lost our kitty to cancer), this seems the perfect moment. These days, we're based in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. We work online, read, and enjoy spending time at home as well as exploring the local area.
