We are a print and online newsletter that has been published since 1983.
Many of our advertisers have been advertising in the Gazette since 1983, and won't advertise anywhere else.
We are now in our 42nd year of publication and will be around for many more years. While many websites come and go - you can count on us to be here for years to come.

WE ARE MORE THAN A WEBSITE
THE CARETAKER GAZETTE: a company publishing
for 42 years! Our visitor traffic to www.caretaker.org keeps increasing every
week. That's because, as our advertisers and subscribers know - we are the only
Publication of its kind, we are a bricks and mortar company - not just a
website.
We have had a rise in the number of complaints about websites
that are set up to promote themselves by offering housesitting and property
caretaking assignments. Some of these websites have allowed people to place
fraudulent ads for housesitting and property caretaking jobs that do not exist.
THE CARETAKER GAZETTE is not affiliated with and has no connection to any of
these websites. All of the ads that you see in the printed issues and online
editions of the GAZETTE are legitimate and paid for by the
advertisers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
