As an active, mature single woman I've held countless caretaking jobs and house/pet sitting positions--from four days to four months--in the SF Bay Area, Colorado, and Alaska. I am responsible, reliable, respectful, conscientious, ind, considerate, and quiet. I am also highly organized and meticulously clean. I love all animals and they warm up to me quickly. I work as an independent event planner remotely, using a laptop computer and Internet connection. I have managed several rental properties, an historic hotel, a landmark B&B, a high altitude research station, and numerous households. I am also familiar with the real estate market (having bought and sold several homes across the country) and was a real estate appraiser for eight years. I am happy to provide professional references and meet with you before we make a commitment. Your home and pet(s) will be safe and in good hands while you are gone and noticeably well cared for when you return. Thank you! Ali
