House Sitter in Silver City, New Mexico

Summary: My first name is Karen-Joyce, a name as unique as the special care I give to your beloved animals and home and/or ranch. I'm a mature reliable caregiver who has been caring for others' animals in New Mexico since arriving here in 1991. Ive run ranches and guest houses and trained many problem dogs. Currently Ive been working short-term contract jobs (museum guide, retail cashier and secretarial work) as I wait for my next position to begin as an educator or park ranger this summer. My jobs often include housing so I prefer house sitting until Im settled enough to consider renting. I have great references, with over 30 years of friendships and work colleagues throughout Northern New Mexico. Professionally I have worked in museum education/interpretation for over 40 years ( I also taught English overseas and as a child of immigrants and multilingual, very culturally flexible.) I'm qualified and committed to giving the best care to your furry/feathered/scaly family and your home or ranch. Available now. Description of Skills: In addition to pet care, feeding schedules and daily exercising, plant care and yard upkeep, I always do mail collection, trash/recycling removal, any home repairs, and general upkeep while in your home. I am dedicated to overnight care and the security of your home and animals. I have been a housesitter for decades and always had a great experience. Send me a message and I'll reply within 1 day.
