I am a healthy and energetic pet loving middle aged woman, with a wonderful long time boyfriend, who has held many responsible positions in my lifetime. I am currently ending a two year Household/Estate Manager/Private Chef assignment on a race horse breeding and training Estate in Florida I have been a private chef, owned two catering companies converted a bedroom home into a B&B, launched a successful technical recruiting company and have worked at the Executive level in Corporate America. I have no children or pets of my own and do not smoke.
I have owned, loved and bred cats, hand raised and trained parrots, grown my own food and raised and trained dogs including one wild German Shepherd who I lost seven years ago to old age. Andy and I are very comfortable with large breed dogs and love the playfulness of the smaller breeds.
I am American Red Cross Certified in Dog and Cat First Aid.
I have cared for animals at either my own home or the owners home for over fifteen years. I have studied horticulture and have established and maintained both organic vegetable and ornamental gardens.
Having a carpenter as a father as well as having owned and maintained many homes of my own I understand how homes are constructed and what needs to be done to keep them in perfect order. In addition my training to become a Certified Household and Estate Manager has taught me how to care for the finer things in a home.
I have experience with both off the grid and conventional homes. We tend to be a stay at home types but do enjoy walking, golf, bicycling bird watching, the great outdoors and gardening. Andy, who is my fiance is a true Southern gentleman and is a kind and gentle soul with a soft spot for all animals. He is very handy around the house and helps me with heavy chores at my current assignment, we work very well together.
If you need someone to take extraordinary care of your home, your pets, your farm, your gardens or all of the above please consider contacting us.
Andy does not have house-sitting experience and therefore has no references, however I have many letters of recommendation and references to verify my qualifications.
