I am a responsible, quiet, organized, non-smoking home owner with no children at home who will respect your house and spoil your pets just like I do my own. I have been an active volunteer and then executive director of an animal shelter; fostering scores of momma dogs/cats and their litters until they were healthy enough for adoption. I have cared for my daughter's menagerie of six pets and successfully soothed my son's Husky with separation anxiety while he was traveling. I have also been on the other side of pet house sitting - finding pet sitters to take care of our rescue Golden Retrievers - so I know that clear expectations for both the sitter and home owner are essential.
