Experienced homeowner, multilingual, loves pets

About this sitter

I am a retired banker and professor of finance, recently widowed. I am looking for a longer term house sit on the east coast of the USA or in Europe or the British Isles. I speak German, Italian and Spanish. I have a small, (20 pound) dog, well trained and not destructive.

Why they want to house sit

As my husband has died and my children are grown, I am in need of a change of pace -- a place where I can start to plan the next chapter of my life.

Their experience

I have owned three houses -- a 1906 Connecticut farmhouse, a 1994 suburban house in Oregon and a 2015 custom-built home. I am very familiar with managing house issues. I grew up with a dog, a cat and a parakeet. I also have adopted rescue dogs all my life, and have taken excellent care of them through their old age. I love cats, too.

What can they bring to the assignment

Cleanliness: I have always enjoyed cleaning to a high standard
Wide Experience: I have lived in the NY area, Oregon, and Europe for many years.
Responsibility: I would treat your home and pets as if they were my own.
