House Sitter in Austin, Texas

Quiet mature contemplative educated writer and musician with degree from the University of Texas. Grew up on a farm. Not afraid of spiders. Don't mind getting my hands dirty. Love caring for animals. Can water plants, pull weeds, take out trash, and pick up sticks in the yard. I wash dishes by hand, sweep, can keep things clean and organized. If you would like to have someone that you can trust to care for your home and love your pets while you are gone, you could not find a more suitable care taker. References available. My experience includes but is not limited to: cat-sitting, dog-walking, mail-sorting, backwashing the pool, cleaning out robbie robot, emptying strainer baskets, leaf removal, keeping the pool water crystal clear and blue, washing the dishes, taking out the trash, relaying messages, driving people to the airport, picking them up again, shopping, folding laundry, dusting, deep-cleaning of remodeled area, re-arranging furniture, custom painting, mopping, organizing book shelves, dusting, security alarms, and more. My least favorite chore is vacuuming carpet, so I prefer caring for homes with tile or wood floors. Overwhelming pet and cigarette odors are deal breakers for me. I am allergic to mold and mildew.
