I'm a 59 year old writer, single, honest and reliable. Looking for a house sit in Massachusetts or anywhere else. The perfect match would be someone who spends a long winter down south or overseas, and wants the security of having their valuable home occupied and cared for by a responsible professional person.

Why I want to house sit

I spend part of each year traveling, and I don't own a home right now. When I'm not traveling I like to have a quiet place to write.

My experience

I have house-sitting experience in Boston, Martha's Vineyard, San Francisco, London, Wisconsin, Cape Cod, Connecticut, Key West and Montana. I am an experienced pet sitter. I like cats and dogs and they like me.

What I can bring to the assignment

I am expert or highly competent in the following areas: long distance driving, computers and internet, landscaping, gardening, house painting, carpentry, handyman type repairs and maintenance. I can do just about anything else, too. I have worked at museums for the last several years, and I am very detail oriented.

House sitting, pet sitting (cats and dogs), I can take care of horses, too. Handyman services, painting, carpentry, gardening, landscaping. Internet research, long distance driving, proofreading and editing.

Oct. 15, 2010 - May 25, 2011 or you can ask me about any other time.
