Now a therapeutic yoga instructor, I owned and operated my own pet-sitting business for ten years as well as working on staff at a local animal shelter.
I have house-sitting and pet-sitting references, and many character references. I am a non-smoker, handy in the garden, involved in local church and charity work, and adore animals. Conscientious, quiet and happy, I can guarantee very close attention to your home and/or pets. As an around-the-clock caregiver, your home security will be heightened, and your pets will receive much love and attention from me.
After growing up in warm temperatures and then moving to Chicago and northern Minnesota, winter at high latitudes no longer scares me; in fact, I now enjoy it. I love nature and culture, so I find both rural and urban settings pleasant.
My husband, Ron McGinley, is available to travel with me, or I am available on my own. He is a Food Service Director at a university; and he used to contract house maintenance jobs so is very handy with any and all types of household issues which can arise.
My timeframes are usually flexible and I welcome your inquiries.
