Retired in 2019, I have years of experience in various client-based services including 20 years in USAF medical services, administration in university settings & federal government providing assistance to executives, chairpersons and Air Force Generals as well as volunteering at local museums including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Am a mother to an adult child and was grandmom to 2 miniature English bulldog/grand-dogs. In 2021 I became Mom to a Cavachon puppy, Fin, who is now house-trained and has completed basic obedience and some additional training; he loves people and other friendly pups and cats. In the past, I have had a Yorkie for nearly 16 years and cared for friends' dog(s). For a while I provide pet sitting services on Rover.com. I have lived abroad including growing up in Germany, 4 years in the UK, 3 years in Turkey and 2 years in Okinawa.
I am interested in house-sitting because I like being a traveler rather than a tourist and therefore wish to explore a location in-depth.
I have traveled extensively in Europe and love being in nature. Other hobbies/interests include: baking, reading, history, swimming, hiking, biking, writing and photography.
I am experienced in sitting/caring for pets (dogs, birds, fish, cats)
I also have housekeeping experience since, as a teen, I assisted my German mother with her house-cleaning business.
I am trustworthy, having spent 20 years in the USAF (I was granted Top Secret clearances twice and all my background investigations have always been cleared.
I speak German and have some basic Spanish and Italian language skills.
I am willing to do some light housekeeping/gardening tasks while caring for your pets and/or home.
If agreeable and in the United States, I would like to bring my dog to some assignments

Amazing dog and house sitter
Vera is friendly, responsible and organized. She looked after our house and our small dog for 4 weeks, we could not have wished more. Vera kept in touch and sent us pictures and updates from our pet, the house was spotless when we got back and we loved her card. She is always welcome back at our small cottage!

5 stars, over the top , above and beyond
Vera was amazing. The house was spotless when I got home. All the laundry was washed and folded just like Marie Kondo. She got me tulips in a vase on the kitchen table, and a little card and a small gift. And I do appreciate the few photos she sent me of my cat letting me know he was in good shape. I really am touched and highly highly recommend. Thank you Vera.
