Quasi-retired doctor, former Navy officer, and animal lover to watch your house and pets!

About this sitter

I am a quiet introvert who loves animals, reading, and the outdoors (and a cozy indoors!). I like the idea of visiting and integrating into a small local area, as a way to see places with more depth and detail. I love animals, and have an affinity for cats, dogs, and horses (and I already know how to care for the latter - as well as cats and dogs!). Open to learning about other pet care, but no snakes or spiders.

Why they want to house sit

Investigating what I would call 'alternative vacation', with hopes to transition to a future 'transition to retirement' plan. I enjoy being alone, and enjoy animals and avant-garde experiences, and have been successfully adulting for over 30 years (since age 17) and consider myself reliable, nurturing, caring, good with animals, and flexible/adaptable as well as great problem solver. Hoping to work on my French at some point.

Their experience

I raised a daughter, primarily on my own since she was 8 (she over 18 now). I have been around and taking care of animals since childhood. I am a home owner. So, in that regard, yes. Currently new to the formal house sitting venue.

What can they bring to the assignment

Strong, independent, resourceful, reliable, mature, - an adult to watch your most precious assets and pets. As we say in the Navy, "We have the watch".
