- Hello!
- About me: I recently retired after a wonderful career as an attorney for the United States, most of which involved positions outside the U.S. I lived and worked in Germany for almost 18 years, and I traveled often to satellite offices in Turkey, Egypt, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. In my last several years, I lived in Hawaii and had responsibility for U.S. legal issues in S. Korea, Japan, the Marshall Islands and other locations in the Pacific Rim. I am passionate about travel and learning about other cultures, and the opportunity to house and pet-sit in new and interesting places would be a dream come true!
Relevant Experience: I am an avid pet lover, and have had had cats all my life, until sadly I lost my last sweet kitty two years ago. I have wanted so badly to adopt more, but I am traveling so much in my retirement, I thought I should wait. This year alone I spent 5 weeks in Portugal and the Azores in the spring and just returned from Iceland and Norway. So the best of all possible worlds would be for me to take care of your home and your fur babies while you travel! I also love dogs, and have taken care of several friends' dogs while they travel. I have experience with giving medication if needed, and I love snuggles...
i am highly responsible, neat, and very self sufficient. You would not have to worry about anything while your home is in my care. I love to cook, read, do small art projects, and garden. If you have a garden or plants, I would be happy to care for them as well.
i studied at L'Universite de Dijon, France while in college, so I speak French well (even if a little out of practice). I speak German fairly well and understand some Spanish.
i have an adventurous, easy-going disposition, and I love learning new things. I would be happy to find a great house- and pet-sitting opportunity that would benefit both of us! Thank you for your consideration
