Home owner for 40 years in California and Nevada. Traveled most of the United States for business and pleasure. Adjusts easily to any climate or culture. Owned horses, dogs, and cats for most of my life and have worked with excellent trainers that promote positive behaviors with gentle handling. Currently working per diem as a speech pathologist for the VA hospital system but able to arrange my own schedule. Very calm and able to handle emergencies. Leisure activities are skiing, hiking, kayaking, reading books, riding my horse,dancing, singing, and theatre. I enjoy cities and the countryside and especially new experiences. I will treat your home and your pets like they are my own. My husband is manager at Nova Tile in Reno, Nv. He is a college graduate and French major. Our daughter is a dentist in Texas and our son is head zookeeper in Fargo, N.D. so we have raised every animal imaginable. We have a beautiful home in Reno and love the lifestyle but also keep a rental house so we are very capable of taking good care of your home and love to travel.
