Kind and Caring International

About this sitter

I'm an international who has lived abroad since 2005 when first coming to Europe for a masters degree in communications. While I am an American based in Amsterdam, my love for different cultures, environments and exploration has always been a big part of who I am. I have the opportunity to work remotely in 2018, and I love the MindMyHouse concept.

Why they want to house sit

My office consists of my phone and my laptop, and I prefer traveling light, so house sitting came as a organic option for 2018. While I enjoy travel, I can't be on the move all the time, so I am looking for a lifestyle with a few weeks/months in different areas. Plus being a solo traveler has its perks, but I enjoy the company of pets, as well as a home feeling even when abroad. I felt house sitting was a natural good fit!

Their experience

I grew up with pets, and regularly pet sit for my friends. I've taken care of cats independently in college, and here in Amsterdam. I watched my mother's golden retriever for weeks on end during while he was a puppy, young and older dog (while keeping the dog/cat peace in the house of course), so pet care taking is something I enjoy.

As a house sitting, I've been a former AirBnB host for many years, as well as a house swapper and a tenant in many countries. I'm clean, responsible, I don't have many belongings, and I know how to maintain gardens, clean linen and a dust-free home.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am definitely a respectful house sitter that's dependable, non-demanding, flexible and communicative. I have no extra baggage, I live modestly and I enjoy absorbing the different environments and responsibilities I find myself in.
