I am a healthy (non-smoker) 66 yr old former piano teacher. Married to the same lucky guy! for 40 years and Mom to two grown children. I have owned my own home for 30+ years in Houston TX and have had pets in my life, all my life. I would describe myself as honest, practical and resourceful. I have good communication skills. I am, on most days, warm and loving. I am tidy and like to keep my world well organized. I usually assume the positive in people and am optimistic by nature. I am well educated with graduate degrees in music and have never stopped seeking intellectual as well as spiritual growth.
My first priority will always be to care for and relate to your pets. I can also water your plants, collect your mail, maintain your pool or small garden, deal with workmen and protect your property.
I fly to most of my house-sitting destinations and In order to maintain financial feasibility, I may ask for the use of your car. I am a fully insured, licensed driver. I may ask you, the homeowner, to provide references and photos, just as I will reciprocate with the same. The conditions of the housesit are flexible and on a case-by- case basis. The terms will be made clear at the time of commitment.
I have come to appreciate how unique, wonderfully intricate, complicated and valuable all sentient life is. We share many biological and intuitive traits with other animals. Our pets are members of our family that we often relate to on an intimate basis. I believe that pets, as well as all living things deserve our highest respect and care. I consider it a sacred duty; that we humans be their guardians and stewards.
Hope to hear from you,
Anne Sheppard
