After being a live in companion of sorts for my elderly mother for the last few years it’s time for the next chapter of life to take off. So I’ve set out to be a house sitter and pet caregiver in exchange for a place to live.

I’m open to whatever your pets might need. And I don’t have any pets of my own, having put down my dog Cheetah in 2023 at the age of 16.

Respect, timeliness, and reliability are high priorities for me when I’m caring for your pets and housesitting.

Professionally I am an accomplished Human Resources professional. My current clients are small business owners around the USA. I specialize in providing HR services to mental wellness therapy practices.

I’m also an accomplished artist, with experience in several media.
Additionally, I am a Certified Body Code and Emotion Code energy healer. My clients are humans, dogs, cats, and horses.

All of my income comes from remote work.

There is no need for me to have any clients visit me where I am housesitting.

My experience with animals includes:

• Feeding goats, horses, chickens, fish, indoor birds, outdoor birds, cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters and gerbils.
• Tenderly administering insulin shots to my large dog.
• Gently giving fluid injections to my rabbit.
• Successfully giving pills and drops to animals I’m watching.
• Walking and otherwise caring for dogs who are tripod, or blind, or too nervous to walk on a leash well.
• Taking dogs, cats, and bunnies to the veterinarian.
• Providing over 50 remote Body Code and Emotion Code energy rebalancing sessions to a wild mustang with anger and behavioral issues, located with his human advocate on Monty Roberts’ Flag is Up ranch in California
• Providing sessions to a handful of individual horses in Virginia, and in California.
• Providing many remote Body Code and Emotion Code energy rebalancing sessions to a service dog of a military Veteran.

My experience living neatly, carefully, and respectfully in other homes includes:

Living with my friend and her family in their 4,000 SF home in North Carolina for over a year, with my large dog and my small dog. 2017-2018

Living with a friend of a friend in her vintage 1,000 SF home in North Carolina for four months with my large dog and my small dog. 2018

Living with my elderly mother in her 2,000 SF condominium in Illinois for five years with my small dog. 2019 to 2024.

My experience working with home improvement contractors includes:

Outside: Lawn care, pest control, village utilities, trash collectors, police.

Inside: Outgoing furniture donations, repair of large appliances, fixing leaks, mitigating when an security alarm goes off, etc.

Personal interests of mine:

Serving as a civilian supporter in online Veteran peer-to-peer support groups.

Adopting dogs with disabilities.

I am an artist accomplished in a variety of media.

Singing and dancing like nobody’s watching…when I think nobody’s watching.
