Hello! I have had a dog and a cat most of my life (and I’m middle aged 🤩) because I absolutely love being around pets. I have also professionally cared for dogs and cats through TrustedHousesitters, and can provide references. I would love the opportunity to take excellent care of your precious pets. I have been a teacher for the past 25 years, in Kansas, New York, South America, and Africa. I am married to a teacher, and we have two children, a daughter who is 10 and a son who is 12. I am also a published author, including the true story about the street dog I rescued in Ecuador, named Alba. I love dogs so much, I wrote a children’s book about mine. 🐾💖
