About Ann

I am a sixth generation Texan, named for a multi-great grandmother who arrived in Texas in 1836 weeks before the battle at the Alamo. I grew up in Mississippi and New Orleans, have lived in both Seattle and Manhattan, and moved back to Texas in 1990’s.

I am a sixth generation Texan, named for a multi-great grandmother who arrived in Texas in 1836 weeks before the battle at the Alamo. I grew up in Mississippi and New Orleans, have lived in both Seattle and Manhattan, and moved back to Texas in 1990’s.

I have a darling teenage daughter who heads off to university in the fall of 2017. I have been divorced and am now widowed. Finally, I am a colon cancer survivor.

Why I want to house sit

Since my daughter Catherine will be off in college starting in fall 2017, and I have retired from regular work to travel and write, I'm interested in house sitting in different parts of the United States, Canada, and the U.K. to give me the opportunity to travel more. And don't worry about my kitties -- I have a dear friend who pet sits for me when I'm away.

My experience

I have two cats of my own, and have also had dogs most of my life -- from a German Shepherd to a Yorkshire terrier. My career has been in higher education (25 years); I taught college courses in writing and web development, and then managed academic departments. My daughter will be a freshman at university in the fall, and I have retired to write and work on my travel blog full time. You'll find me a highly responsible and caring person -- I love animals, and welcome the time taking care of your pets and your home!

    I recommend Ann without reservation. I am the Provost of the college where Ann taught and worked as an academic administrator for many years. She is absolutely trustworthy, reliable, and a delight to know. I have known her professionally for more than 15 years and also consider her a personal friend. She is a masterful teacher, an empathetic and discrete colleague, a sophisticated world traveler, and a solid, responsible adult. I would be extremely comfortable having her as a caretaker for my house or domestic animals.
