As a retired Disney Cast Member and full-time traveler, I am passionate about sharing my love and care for animals worldwide. Bonding with animals brings me immense joy and enriches my life in ways that are difficult to express. For the first time in my life, I am doing something for myself and have never been happier.

After losing my last cat in July 2020 at the age of 19, I realized how much of a significant role animals played in my life. My cat Mully had befriended several neighborhood cats and would alert me when they arrived for a visit. Even after his passing, his buddies continued to visit and comfort me.

I have also cared for a neighbor’s 22-year-old turtle for the past six years and was adopted by a mother raccoon and her seven little ones. They were friendly and got along well with all the neighborhood cats. I even trained the squirrels to come when called.

My love for animals is the driving force behind my desire to care for them. Animals have always been drawn to me, and I feel deeply connected to them. In terms of entrusting me with your home, my friends often commented on how clean it was and jokingly asked if I actually lived in it. I do not smoke or drink and am well past my party days. I am a quiet individual who enjoys solitude.
