Hi,

Thanks for stopping by. I was the Estate Manager of two luxury homes for a private family from 2017 until 2020 in Venice, California and I still occasionally fill in as the Estate Manager for a home in Lahaina, Hawaii.

I'm extremely responsible, respectful, and absolutely adore dogs. I had two golden retrievers for over twelve years and they were the light of my life. 

I've included my resume and the links to my social media accounts to give you an idea of who I am. Please don't hesitate to call or text if you have any questions. 339-235-2438. I can meet in person too, as I think it can be the deciding factor when it comes to your fur babies. Dogs are an excellent judge of character and I'd be happy to see if we click.

Also, when looking at other Sitter profiles, I notice almost all of them have 5 stars. I only have 3 because I have yet to take my first assignment on this site because of my previous job (same with the short duration listed under "Experience") but I'm definitely a 5 Star candidate!
