I am a single,68 year old woman living in Holland, Michigan fulfilling my desire to travel and explore photographic opportunities abroad while house/pet sitting. I have worked with various rescue organizations for Great Danes, Airedales, West Highland Terriers as well as Senior Dogs. I have often taken in the very sick dogs as well as those needing general training. I have owned cats in the past and love their independent spirits and need for cuddles.
I love to travel and want to explore more of the United States, Canada and other countries. I'm also a wonderful photographer so I would be looking for different angles and subjects to photograph. This is an excellent opportunity for me to absorb the local culture and environment while providing a service to a fellow traveler by taking care of their home and/or pets.
To your particular assignment I would bring, maturity, reliability, cleanliness and a love for making sure your treasured pet(s) are well taken care of in your absence. Mail is brought in .. garbage taken out .. bird feeders filled ... and plants watered. I took care of a home in Las Vegas while the owners frequently traveled. This also included taking care of a very special Maltese girl with special needs. In 2015 I traveled to North Carolina on a house/pet sitting assignment through and the owner posted a reference on their also. I have also completed housesitting assignments in Quebec and Spain. I currently am scheduled for housesits in Holland and Rockford, Michigan as well as Riverwoods, Illinois and Cooper City, Florida.
I have posted 3 additional references on this and would love to build file of more in the coming months. Because I had an extensive background check prior to going to Afghanistan, I have not had a Police Check done yet. If required, I will gladly provide this to you.
I used to travel with my service dog Boomer who was a Westie and often shows up in my photographs. Sadly, I recently had to retire Boomer and he's now in his new "forever home" in Jacksonville, Florida so I will be traveling solo from now on.
I hope you find my profile of interest and that you reach out to me. I would prefer longer housesitting assignments but will consider short assignments based on distance.
