I grew up in central rural United States. I've been around farms most my life. I've owned cattle as an investment along with my nephew. Since 2020, i have ranch sat a 640 acre ranch in Southern Arizona. I care for their horses, dogs, and hens. I've also cared for others' horses, goats, sheep, and cats.
61, Home/pet/ranch/farm/Airbnb sitter
Caring for others’ homes, pets, Airbnbs, and ranches fills me with complete joy. I have been providing care for others’ pets and their properties for over 35 years. I am retired from my profession and solely provide care. My profession, in part, involved working with others experiencing crises, trauma, and transitions. My passion for working with others easily transfers to caring for animals..
I grew up in a family-owned hardware store in a rural farming and ranching area in the Midwestern part of the US. My upbringing has allowed me to develop a skill set of "handiness," allowing me to troubleshoot most unforeseen issues.
I've lived in major cities such as New York City, Chicago, and Minneapolis. I also spent years in Connecticut, the rural high desert mountains of southern Arizona, and Nebraska, which also has a place in my heart. I love rural living just as much as I love major cities. I've traveled around Europe, wandering and exploring, in addition to other countries around the world. I've house, cat, and dog sat in France, England, and Australia. I am comfortable with the unknown. I love the process of developing relationships with animals, getting to know their personalities. I find it exciting as they begin to develop a trusting relationship with me.
I do not smoke and rarely drink alcohol. I live a balanced, healthy lifestyle. Unique requests are my specialty. I'm very adaptable. I am single and without children. I can provide short and long-term care and can travel vast distances if needed. My career of caring for what matters most in your world, what is most dear to you, I take seriously. I do not travel distances to sight see, fill my goals, I solely travel to home, pet, Airbnb, ranch, etc sit. As you exit your home, I step in to lovingly care and be accountable.
My best,
Elaine
