Shirley L. Pet Care Provider in Grand Junction, CO 81501

I am an energetic 71 year old who can't sit home and knit or crochet. But I can keep a very clean house, yard and car.

I have had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. At one time growing up we had two cats, one dog, two canaries and gold fish. As an adult living on my own, I have been lucky enough to be mother to many wonderful cats: Tonto, Amber, Blue, Stewart ("Stewie"), Gracie, Charlie, and currently Molly B. and Snickelfritz ("Fritzy"). During the Stewart/Gracie years, I was also mother to the most loving dog ever, Sadie. Sadie got a 1.5 mile walk before I went to work and the same when I got home. We walked along My sweet animals never missed a Vet appointment and we always followed their instructions on keeping these sweethearts healthy. have worked since I was 19 starting out as a Junior Secretary at an advertising agency and leaving there as the Office Manager and Personnel Director -- 11 years later. After I retired, and cleaned my house dozens and dozens of times, then tried making jewelry, drawing, and myriads of other time consuming hobbies, I found a lot of time on my hands...so I shopped. Well, that can become habit forming so I slowed down to nearly nothing.

Now, with my retirement fund getting low, and my house perfectly clean and organized, I am looking for a part time job. When I saw your ad, I nearly jumped for joy. How ideal. Doing something you love and getting paid for it (my money manager would be thrilled, too.)

I don't have degrees or certificates. But I can offer love, energy, common sense and the knowledge I have learned over the years with my own animals. I knew instinctively when Molly needed to see a Vet. That instinct saved her young life. She had surgery within days and is now a healthy and extremely loving.

I would love to meet you and be introduced to your babies before you make a decision.
