Julia f.

Thank you for viewing my profile.

Hello! My name is Julia and for most of the year, I live and work in the US, in the state of Minnesota. I am adventurous, intelligent, hardworking & curious. I am also independent, quiet, organized, and am content to be in nature, reading, and spending time with animals. I have extensive travel experience around the world: Central America, Europe, Africa, Japan, etc.

I’ve been teaching in public schools for 30+ years and traveled regularly with my students. These days I prefer not to be a tourist, but to travel by settling into new places for extended periods of time to experience the local life and connect to people.

I’ve always had pets or taken care of others’ pets. My first cat Koozya lived to be 18, Simba (a giant 115-lb German Shepherd dog) passed away 10 years ago at age 11. These days I own 2 large black cats, Freddy and Zorro, who enjoy wandering around the neighborhood (they are indoor/outdoor cats.) As you can see, I "speak" both dogs and cats fluently (as well as German and Russian). Feel free to check my FB page for more information https://www.facebook.com/julia.finn.10; send a friend request.

For the past 7 years, I’ve been frequently taking care of my neighbors' dog during their travels. In the Summer 2018 and 2019 I house/dog-sat in Costa Rica for a month (can provide references) and realized what a wonderful way it is to experience various cultures and life styles. It left me eager to seek more opportunities like it.

During the short growing season in Minnesota I enjoy tending to my flower and vegetable garden, and would gladly care for your plants as well.

If you feel like I would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out! My availability in 2020 is June 6 - August 16.

I will care for your home and pets as I would my own.
