Loving Pet & House Care

70, Retired

Hi! I'm a retired marketing and project manager who worked in nonprofit marketing and fund raising for 40+ years. I've always hoped to make the world a little better through my work telling stories and raising money for things like food banks, strong families, and healthy living. Some of my work was in the public health sector in tobacco use prevention, breast cancer education and diabetes. The last full-time position I held was in the medical field managing physician training around the opioid crisis. In my work I wrote and managed numerous foundation and federal grants.

I grew up on a farm loving all animals and know they have a special place in the world, bringing peace, joy and healing to the people who love them. They all deserve the love and respect of humans.

My most recent house and pet sitting experiences were in Denver and Chicago. There are references for me on this site. Thank you for considering me for this important job! If I'm selected, I like to arrive the day before in order to receive complete instructions on my duties.

Best wishes in your search for the right pet and house sitter. I know how important it is to find the right person you can trust with your home and pet. Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Thank you, Jean Stilwell

It was such a pleasure to have Jean at my home while I was away for a week. She has a very calm demeanor which was definitely beneficial for my one cat who had just lost his sister and has not adjusted to it. She is very accommodating, quiet, and kind. She came the day before I left so I got to know her a little bit. I very much enjoyed chatting with her as she is a very interesting person. The whole sit went very smoothly, and I had complete confidence in her. I will keep her on my A-list.

Thank you for the lovely review! I appreciate it so much.
Jean was a wonderful sitter. She arrived a day early to go over Tequila's care but chose to stay in a nearby hotel for the night. I came home to a happy cat (except that I woke her up with my late arrival), a clean apartment and even though I don't expect it; clean sheets and towels neatly folded. I highly recommend Jean.

Thank you Johanna! Give Tequila a hug for me.
This was our first time using House Sitters of America. Initially, my husband and I were a bit tentative in using the service. After meeting Jean and Mary virtually, they immediately put us at ease. They are both lovely women---kind, communicative, and intently focused on caring for our two cats and home. Prior to leaving on our trip, they were willing to meet us in person to review logistical issues, and be introduced to our pets. During our trip, they communicated through photos and ... MORE

Jean and Mary are wonderful caretakers. I came home from our trip to a happy cat, healthy plants and a clean and a clean house. They are very kind and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend letting Jean and Mary house sit for you.
