Mature animal lover who loves to visit new places

About this sitter

My name is Ana María Baracaldo. I am originally from Colombia, but Atlanta has been my home for the last 23 years. I am 56 years old, married to a wonderful husband and mother to a 27 year-old artist child and a precious bernedoodle. I work for a hospital as a medical interpreter. My background includes a civil engineer degree and several years of experience in the banking business. I love animals and being outdoors. Traveling is my favorite activity. I enjoy visiting new places, different geographies and learning about other cultures. I am fluent in English and Spanish. For the last nine years I have had an Airbnb rental with wonderful reviews. I am a very organized and clean person and my house is proof of that.

Why they want to house sit

Hospital hallways have become tiresome. I am getting a certificate in translation, which will afford me the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world. House sitting will give me the chance enjoy places and have a cultural immersion in a more affordable manner than typical travel. Pet sitting will be a bonus of being with animals and will help me feel at home.

Their experience

I have been a house sitter/pet sitter throughout my life in the US, mostly during my years as a student. Currently, I have a swapping sitting system among friends and family.

What can they bring to the assignment

When I travel my main concern is the well-being of my beloved dog. I will treat your pets and property as if they were my own, with lots of love and respect.
