Here is biography which I hope
is interesting, and gives you
assurances for the trust you expect
in a sitter. Also, I
home cared in 2000 and 2009.
My clients live throughout the Bay Area
Owned art supply stores in San
Francisco from early '60s to mid 80s. ,
Introduced 'Politec,' the original
acrylic artists paint to U.S market (The
paint of the great Mexican
Muralists), supplying hundreds of mural projects
throughout the US
In l976 was acrylic paint
consultant for First National Congress of
Community Muralists in NYC
Ever looking for an Angel to help
revive this very first and finest of acrylic
paints. Industry forces blocked trade
distribution
Finally, the Reagan presidency ended the CETA
program which had sustained my business.
graduated from the University of Florida,
member Beta Theta Pi fraternity and was
active in campus affairs, founding President
National Intercollegiate Pep Conference.
Served in USArmy Japan as Features
Editor of First Cavalry Division's
newspaper; also taught English to soldiers.
Attended Emory Law School briefly, then
studied painting
at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and
then in Mexico, where I taught English to

My best contact is my email
address: arjay_210@yahoo.com
My postal address is POBox 170086 San Francisco
CA 94117-0086 My cell phone is 208 301 0935
Have good health, don't smoke or
drink, am responsible and security conscious
to clients. I have a fully insured van
Housesitting fee is for the NUMBER OF CALENDAR
DAYS, partial or full, and is always paid
in full at the BEGINNING of an assignment.
Since 2005, I've had five one month long, and
dozens of one, two and three week petsits,
plus one three month and one five month home
monitoring
Most are repeat clients with lovely homes,
with zero to eleven pets, and have varied
environmental concerns that affect my duties.
I have usually required $25. minimum per day
since starting house monitoring/pet sitting in
2005.
Inflation of gas and food prices
during recent years make
this low minimum rate imperative except for long
term (3 month minimum) house monitoring only
without pet care that can be a non fee based
exchange.
Most of my well established clients have
voluntarily increased my compensation in recent years.
length of the assignment, number of pets,
and travel distance are important
considerations.
I stay in house always at night and
depending on security needs and pet
requirements, during much of the day.
I cook meals and appreciate use of
refrigerator/freezer, washer/drier
Helpful but not critical to be able to
check email on the home computer.
I practice the violin, the cello, and
sometimes draw and paint.
I'm pleased to consider anyone
who understands my needs.
