My profile has recently been reinstated, as I am now retired from my special needs education assistant career. I am also a recent former home owner, and currently in the process of converting my van into a mobile tiny home. In the near future, I look forward to looking after pets and homes all over the world. For the local assignments, I have my niece who is firmly settled in the community of Vernon. Judy is semi-retired and also a life long animal lover For the overseas assignments, and other parts of North America, I would ask you to consider me with my gentle cat Iz. She is a very special girl who loves everyone. I call her my dog cat. I realize that this could be problematic for some people with pets that don't like other stranger animals. However; if you would consider me, you can be completely confident that your instructions and care needs will always be followed. For your peace of mind, I will be very pleased to keep in regular contact with updates and photos. All you need to do is ask. :) I come from a large family of animal lovers. Our family always teased Mom that she had all the pics of our various family “furkids” in the living room; while the photos of so-called "real" kids and grandkids photos were relegated to the bedroom. Each much loved. I can thank both my parents for modelling their love of all animals, and many of my earliest and most poignant memories are of our family with our beloved pets. I have many years of commitment and experience with both young and elder pets, and more than comfortable looking after medications or any other medical concerns. I love all Animals, Travel, Gardening, Culture, Cuisine, Adventure, Kayaking, Reading, Movies etc. While I enjoy living a semi-nomadic life, I am a very reliable and grounded person. You can be assured that I will care for your pet and home with the greatest attention and respect. My career has always required full Police Checks, as I work closely with highly vulnerable people. So, if you are considering the need for a pet/house sitter, I am a very reliable, resourceful, open-minded, and loving person. I am happy to anticipate and fulfil the unique care needs of your pet family, and home.
