** 7+ years house/pet sitting experience with multiple (enthusiastic!)references :) **Friendly, down to earth, & conscientious, I've been told I put people (and animals) at ease. **My animal friends know/love/remember me, and vice/versa (I have many repeat pet/housesitting jobs over the many years I've been doing this) Check out some of their pictures in my photo gallery! **I have owned a home as a single woman & care for yours not as mine, but as YOURS -- as you request and with the extra special care and concern I believe one should give when responsible for other people's property **Recently passed background check for my former teaching job ** Fifteen+ years teaching and social work background = many passed background checks throughout ** Responsible, professional, service oriented - I run an online resume writing business as well, with a background in social work, training/supervisor, and customer service ** Non-smoker, no drugs (of course!), not really a drinker other than the occasional beer or wine with dinner or outing (no problem if you prefer no drinking) ** Clean, neat, detail oriented - all will be in order as you left it, or better, when you return ** Plant/yard/pool care (etc.) also fine, just ask My dream is of a mobile lifestyle with different online businesses and am making it a reality now! Currently I have a resume writing business that is portable. Therefore, I do need broadband internet access (wi-fi preferable but not required) I would be honored to care for your castle & critters in the same manner you would. I have a questionnaire/checklist I use to gather vital info and instructions when I house/petsit, and of course welcome your specific input and needs. Happily awaiting your email or call, many thanks! Happy to answer any questions, of course. Thank you!
