LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Gary, I cannot believe the response I have just received from
that one help-wanted ad you just published in The Caretaker
Gazette. I have filled the position and have 45 prospective
people "left over." I have been inundated with calls.
Thank you so much, but please remove the ad or mark it as FILLED.
I posted my ad on two other websites and had only one response
from one and no response from the other website. You most
certainly do have the "market cornered." I have passed
your info onto several friends who may have positions they want
to publish in the Gazette in the future. I am so glad to know
about your far-reaching exposure. Keep up the good work.
Thankfully, K. O., Newbury, MA

Kathryn, thanks for sharing your positive experience! I'm glad to
see that you had a great response to your caretaker-wanted ad.
Many property owners have told us that they receive the best
responses to - and find top-notch caretakers and housesitters
– from the ads that they run in the Gazette. I appreciate
your sharing our information with other property owners. Over the
past 25 years, most of our business has come via referrals from
satisfied caretakers and property owners like you.

Gary, I am so excited. Since my Situations-Wanted ad came out in
the Gazette, I have had two great responses. Thank you for fixing
my typo errors and my ad lay-out. M. E., Green Valley, AZ
 
Marcella, you're most welcome. When we receive an ad from a
property owner or a prospective caretaker, we are always happy to
work with them to improve the wording and layout in order to
receive the maximum ad response.

What a tremendous response we have had to our ad in The Caretaker
Gazette!! We never would have imagined the fine quality and huge
number of people your marvelous Gazette reaches. We have been
overwhelmed with well over 100 calls and faxes these past six
weeks and were amazed that over 50% were college graduates. It
was a delight to have so many to choose from but, on the other
hand, it was a most difficult decision. We feel we have found a
gem of a caretaker who already has surpassed our wildest dreams.
We truly thank you for your help and are encouraging our ranching
friends to subscribe to your publication, and advertise, as well.
You are the best resource around! E. & N. B., Elgin, AZ

Thank you for your kind words. Glad to hear you have had a
positive response to your ad in the Gazette. We pride ourselves
on bringing qualified caretakers and property owners together.
Success stories like yours are a major reason why we have been in
business since 1983. Many homeowners have told us that they had
unsuccessfully tried other websites, and after their poor results
- they have told us that they will only advertise their
help-wanted ads in the Gazette.
Gary, I and my husband are truly caretakers. We are returning to
Flower Mound, TX for the second year on an ad you ran. We love
it. We stay about six weeks watching dogs and a house for owners
who go to Chile. We have enjoyed the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and
have had the opportunity to see a lot of it. What an excellent
way to see the country without having to make a major investment.
I love The Caretaker Gazette and tell my friends about you.  M.
K., Minot, ND

Melody, thanks for sharing your experiences and for your
compliments about the Gazette. It sounds like you have found a
great caretaking situation through the Gazette. I appreciate that
you recommend The Caretaker Gazette to your friends. Thank you.

well as medical and dental care and education. The Foundation

communities and promotes health through education and sanitation
projects. Everyone is welcome and as long as volunteers are
willing to come with a positive attitude, they will find the work
rewarding and interesting. Long-term volunteers (two months +)

your work and encourage you to speak to the locals as much as
possible. The Volunteer Project has been up and running for just
over a year but has already built a new septic system for the
school, taken leading roles in building a new kitchen and new
classroom in the Foundation and started to work directly in the
communities by initiating a latrines program to promote better
sanitation and reduce parasite-related illnesses. This does not
take into account the thousands of man-hours given freely to

CARETAKER PROFILE
“Baron and Karen Tynan – A Caretaker Love
Story”
Dates of Birth: Baron 4/30/65, Karen: 5/19/72
Address:  XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Interests: Together: hiking, running, gardening, movies, reading
and cooking. Baron: Cycling, welding and motorcycling. Karen:
traveling, podcasts and learning Italian
Quote: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn
more, do more, and become more, you are a leader." - John
Quincy Adams

Karen and Baron

     Baron and Karen Tynan are a team of talented, hard-working
caretakers who, through the pages of The Caretaker Gazette, found
a caretaking position and one another. Here, in their own words,
is their love story:
     Karen: Before I ever knew about caretaking, I had told some
people at the veterinary office that I worked in that I would
like to live on someone’s property taking care of their
animals in exchange for rent. Everyone agreed that it sounded
like a great idea but no one else knew how to get into it either.
Months later one of my co-workers sent me a link to a site called
The Caretaker Gazette. My co-worker had found it while doing a
search for a housesitter. I looked at the site and was so happy
to finally have found a place to search for my ideal living
situation. So I signed up and began my search. Almost immediately
I spotted an ad for a position in Bonsall, California, near to
where I already lived. The job entailed taking care of dogs,
gardening and maintaining a presence on the property for security
purposes in exchange for rent. It took me a couple of months to
get up the courage to email but I finally did and got a hold of
Baron.
     Baron: I had been the current caretaker at the position for
over five years and really enjoyed the lifestyle. My former
partner decided it wasn’t for her and left. I had been
searching for a co-caretaker for months and had just about given
up. Karen and I emailed back and forth for a while. Karen wanted
to make sure this was a legitimate situation and I wanted to
figure out if she had the abilities for the job. After several
emails we finally talked on the phone and set up a time to meet
each other.
     Karen: I could tell right away that Baron was a good person
and he liked the way I interacted with the dogs. We talked a lot
and found out that we had a ton of things in common. So I met the
property owners and interviewed. The process went well and I was
offered the position. I moved in about three weeks later and
about a month after that, well…. Baron and I started
dating. We felt it was a “meant to be” situation. The
first day that my mother met Baron, when he was still just a
roommate, she sounded off to me that I would be married to Baron
in two years. She was off by two months!
     Baron: Two years and two months later we got married. We
were very fortunate that the property owners allowed us to get
married in the same gorgeous yard where we lived and fell in
love. When Karen and I are not working, we enjoy hiking and
travel.
     Karen: Our first vacation together was to Italy and that is
where Baron proposed. Our next big vacation was our honeymoon to
Belize and we recently toured the Grand Staircase area of
Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. Now, three years later, we
have left their “exchange for rent” caretaking
position for a paid domestic couple job in Big Bear Lake,
California.
     Baron: Karen cooks dinner for the family, cleans and
organizes the house, does the laundry and ironing, runs errands
and cares for the family pets. I take care of all the handyman
duties, care for the horses, the tropical fish tank and pond,
maintain the grounds and take care of the vineyard. Both of us
tend to the garden and drive for the family occasionally. One of
our favorite things to do is to walk the dogs around the
beautiful property and watch all the different types of wildlife
traveling through.
     Baron and Karen: Our future is wide open and we can see
ourselves pursuing several different avenues for couples in this
field. We like the idea of becoming a chef/estate manager team,
running a small inn or Bed & Breakfast and like the idea of
running a second, third, or vacation home for a family. We would
always like to be able to maintain an herb and vegetable garden
and also enjoy the companionship of animals too. Although we love
California we would be open to another beautiful area of the west
as well. We feel that one of the greatest parts of being a
caretaking couple is that we do have the option of pursuing all
those different possibilities as well as many more that we
haven’t dreamed of yet. Mostly we just really enjoy living
on a beautiful property and putting our ingenuity and hard work
into making it a great place to come home to for all parties
involved. We love this life and are excited to continue learning
more and more to further our career. We are so thankful to The
Caretaker Gazette for helping us to find each other. To be able
to find another alternatively like-minded person, in a world
where most people suffer the conformity of their cubicles, is a
gift. The Caretaker Gazette should consider marketing itself to
singles too!
