Mary here. My husband, John, and I are semi-retired psychologists who like to travel and love animals. We have owned dogs, hamsters, fish, finches, and hamsters but currently have just one sweet but demanding cat. We sometimes travel together, but I often make solo trips because of John’s busy community theater schedule. We have looked after friends’​/​neighbors’ pets and have been sitting for another pet-sitting outfit recently. I am an avid gardener. We are homeowners who can problem-solve when unforeseen issues arise around the house.
