House Sitter in Dallas, Texas

Looking for house sitting positions/pet sitting (Uptown/City Center) I am very interested in moving to the Uptown or City Center area of Dallas, somewhere where it is possible to walk to just about everything. I am retired and travel a lot, but would like to housesit in this area to see if it really is where I would enjoy living. I was born, raised, and worked in Dallas. I have lived about an hour east of Dallas for the last 33 years, but am still a Big City girl at heart. I am a 56 year old female, recently widowed, and I can provide excellent references. I love all types of animals, and they all seem to love me back, so if you also need someone to stay at your home to take care of your furry family, I can do that also. No particular number of days required, could be one night, a weekend, one week, or longer.
