I'm sure you're looking for peace of mind while you're away from your beloved home and pets, and someone to give them the same respect and care that you do. That is precisely what I want when sitters come to my home.
I am a retired teacher and freelance writer. I have also been a registered nurse ( yrs) and a residential,retail, and landscape lighting designer ( yrs). I owned and remodeled four homes and gardens in thirty years. My sons are adults and independent. I started and directed a campus-wide writing program at a state university in northern California before selling my home and putting everything in storage so I could travel extensively for a couple years. I have resettled near San Francisco, but I enjoy spending time in other parts of North America.
I love animals and gardens and am happy to take care of both. I can deal with any situation that arises in a home or with pets. I have had both cats and dogs over the last thirty years and miss my latest companion, a standard poodle who lived with me for fifteen years until his death in I will be happy to lavish on your pets the love he would have received.
I have taken care of homes and pets in the Vancouver area and California.
You can reach me through at this site or by phone, as listed.
You won't find anyone who will take better care of your home and pets. I look forward to talking with you about your specific needs. Thank you.
