Greetings! I recently retired after 40 years service with the U.S. Department of Defense. I love people, animals, and travel and I am honest, responsible, outgoing, independent, flexible and caring. I love exploring new places especially when art, theatre, music, architecture or nature are involved I've loved animals as long as I can remember --my earliest childhood memories involve raising an injured baby pig on a bottle and raising a baby rooster the neighbor's children no longer wanted. I've found that I can be intuitive with animals. In the past couple of years, on two occasions, I've been able to alert friends that their cats were behaving oddly such that they got them prompt medical care. I grew up on a farm where I helped raise our dogs, pigs, and goats. I've successfully cared for the pets of fami... read more

Hi, I am a mother of 7 boys and 1 girl. Of which only 2 are left in my house. I have 30 years as a caretaker, mother, chauffeur, cook, cleaner, gardener, teacher and pet care taker. I believe myself to be highly experienced and educated. I currently switched from taking care of kids to pets and am one of the Top pet sitters with Rover.Com in the Hampton Roads Area of Virginia. But, I am ready to travel and experience different places and cultures. My life has been fulfilling but after my bout with Breast Cancer I realized I need to do what I love and that is travel. I am trustworthy and I know you would like me/my family and I promise that your home/pets would be in the best of hands! Right now, until they graduate-we are a package deal but my children are just as invested in helping and experiencing the world. If you need a loving, adventurous, responsible family to care for your home we would LOVE the opportunity. Prefer and dream of long term. read more
I’m a retired executive with a life long passion for dogs, cats and horses. I bred, raised and trained Connemara ponies, had my own farm, and have been a foster home for golden retrievers as well as an owner of many labs, retrievers and dear little mitts. I am appreciative and respectful of good and valued things, from the heirlooms of my family to the mundane but intensely sentimental things that are part of a family home with animals: the favorite toy, the right blankie etc. Having beaten cancer recently, I find my energy baseline has changed, and instead of pet sitting for friends here and there I’d like to do it as a lighter career. I will also be seeking assignments where I have friends and family nearby to enjoy! I’m also the mom of a college student and have the time to extend TLC to your precious pets and private home.

Traveling lover of animals and national parks. I am currently in the process of getting my degree from UVA. When I have free time, I love to hike, play with animals, visit public lands, play board games, and spend time with people. I would love to housesit because I love to spend time with all types of animals, I love to explore new places, and I love the experience of staying in a home that is unfamiliar and living in someone else's shoes instead of traveling via hotel or hostel. I have worked as an occasional pet/house sitter through Rover and have had lovely experiences. I also nanny for a family which requires the upkeep of household duties. Additionally, I have done a number of house sits through Trusted House Sitters and would be glad to show you my reviews from that site! read more
