Hi! I am a retired Art teacher living in the beautiful coastal town of Gloucester, MA, USA. Since retiring, I have been active working in my pottery studio, cycling, kayaking, and walking dogs as a part time job. I also spend time doing local dog/house sits which has been a great way to spend time with animals, which I love, while still being able to get a few hours in each day in my art studio. I love playing guitar, reading, hiking and traveling. I have been a member since September 2019. I have all 5 star reviews and have enjoyed every one of my sits. There has yet to be an animal I haven’t fallen for. My sits have both near home and international. TrustedHousesitters has been a joy, meeting really wonderful pets and very kind owners. Truly so happy I found this community.
