For over 35 years, I've been carying for homes, pets and other various opportunities.  What is valued and important to you, I will care for from a platform of respect, strong morals, values, and integrity.  I am retired from my profession.  My career of assisting others in transition, crisis, grief and mental health allows me to transfer my skills and innate ability to deal with any situation that may present itself. Level headedness is my strength. I find house and pet sitting enjoyable and rewarding.  I grew up in Nebraska. There is a reason why it is called "The Heartland".  I was blessed to grow up in a family that owned a hardware store.

I've spent a great deal of time in Europe exploring its wonders and pet sitting.  In 20... read more
