Experienced home and pet sitter

About this sitter

I'm a sensible and adventurous, mature woman who works from home and likes to travel the world. I live in and enjoy the countryside and love city life, where I worked before lockdown. I enjoy life to the full!

Why they want to house sit

I have much experience sitting across the world and have been house sitting a lot in England since the pandemic. My last assignment before lockdown was as caretaker on a horse safari farm in Kenya. Before that I sat in Ireland, Malaysia, Copenhagen, Portugal, Spain and India and the UK - all with great success and excellent reviews.

Their experience

I was brought up on farm life and always with dogs. In my adult life I had numerous cats to love. I worked at a kennels in Suffolk back in the day - looking after both dogs and cats whilst their owners were on holiday. That was fun! I have experience of house sitting dogs and cats (and chickens, turkeys, ducks and sheep) and have travelled extensively to many countries. I have both owned my own home and rented property successfully, so I know how to look after other people's property.

What can they bring to the assignment

Reliability, caring for your home and pets and keeping in touch. A 'no fuss' approach - tell me what you want done and I'll do it! I am very clean and tidy and non-imposing. I am a very good organizer - I used to be a Project Manager of a number of community projects working with vulnerable people in and out of prisons. I consider myself to be semi-retired now and am able to keep myself occupied. Although Mind My House only mentions 3 house sits for us, I have completed many, many, more through other websites, agencies and more so freelance now.
