I am a healthy 65 yr old retired teacher, wife and Mom to two grown children - also a homeowner. I taught piano for 30+ years and began taking care of my students' houses and pets when they went on holiday. As my children matured and needed me less, I expanded my house/pet care to out-of-town destinations I wanted to visit and explore.
I would describe myself as honest, practical and resourceful. I have good communication skills. I am healthy, warm and loving. I usually assume the positive and am optimistic in nature. I am well educated with graduate degrees 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 your Domestics 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 while you are gone. I am a fully insured, licensed driver. I may ask you, the homeowner, to provide references and photos, just as I will do the same. The conditions of the housesit are flexible and usually 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 traits and intuitive senses with other animals. I believe that all living things deserve the highest respect and care we humans, their guardians and stewards, can give them.
Hope to hear from you,
Anne Sheppard
