About this sitter

I am an experienced home care-taker and pet care-giver, I settle in quickly and I am interested in a variety of settings, topography, cultures and friendly local folks.

Why they want to house sit

I house sit because it is an adventurous way to explore new regions, local people and pets, around our world. It helps with appreciation and gratitude. Also, because I love animals and I no longer have any of my own, time spent with beloved pets is good for the soul.

Their experience

Yes; I am experienced throughout the U.S., where I've cared for homes and pets; mostly cats and dogs, also a few urban chickens, reptiles and turtles. Other unique caretaking scenarios entailed only caring for the home, plants, gardening, snow shoveling; many of the tasks involved to upkeep a home.

What can they bring to the assignment

A genuine interest in respecting and protecting homeowner's property, belongings and caring for their beloved pets. I am prepared to adapt in any climate with an understanding of home heating/cooling HVAC, security systems, water and energy conservation. I prefer to meet the neighbors with a homeowner's approval. I have some experience in lawn care, gardening and sprinkler systems. Some past assignments entailed driving dogs to parks using owners autos, handling errands, collecting mail and coordinating with service professionals i.e. house cleaners, utility technicians, landscapers. I have a U.S. passport, driver's license and I can drive manual or automatic autos.

Recommended!

Mary took wonderful care of our home. She was available at the last minute, and our communication was good. We have no pets so it was just care of house and plants. I will use her again if she is available.

Great Housesitter, Highly Recommend

Mary was wonderful. She came over beforehand to meet us and our dog Moe. During the 10 days she stayed she took him on lots of walks and he seemed very happy when we returned. Our house was very clean and tidy when we came home. It’s always a little nerve wracking to leave your baby while you are away. She is a lovely person with a calm demeanor and responsible. When we returned my husband said we found a gem! We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone.

Thanks Mary!

Mary did an excellent job caring for my cat Kuvira while my husband and I were out of town for a week! She was willing to meet with us beforehand to make sure we were comfortable and figure out the details of her stay. She kept in touch throughout the week, letting us know how Kuvira was doing and sending us photos of him. We came home to a clean house and a happy cat. This was my first experience using MindMyHouse and I couldn't be more pleased. It was super convenient and Mary did a stellar job!
