About this sitter
Artist, author, over 65, looking for calm locations and interesting animals.
Why they want to house sit
I love a change of scene and the care of animals.
Their experience
On my way back to Canada from India in 2018, I cared for pets in six locations in the UK, Spain, and British Columbia: cats, wild birds, and plants. Two of these locations, and all the testimonials, were deleted by the Mind My House system since then: 6 weeks in Vancouver, and 6 weeks in a small town in Sussex. Since then I've catsit and housesit for friends in BC. A three month housesit for a riad and turtles in Fez brought me to Morocco in 2024.
What can they bring to the assignment
Sensible, responsible, resourceful, and communicative: a cat whisperer and former homeowner.

Testimonials
Trustworthy, Creative, and Caring House Sitter
Tina was a truly wonderful house sitter. This home has been in my family for over a decade and holds great sentimental value, so it's very important to me who stays there. From the moment we met, Tina was warm, kind, and easy to connect with - thoughtful, respectful, and full of good humour. She brought a lovely creative energy to the space. During her stay, my young daughter and I visited, and Tina spent hours drawing with her, creating a memorable and happy experience for us both. It was an entirely positive experience from start to finish, and I couldn't have asked for a better house minder. I recommend Tina wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

Pampered Pet by Tina
Tina looked after our home and 14-year-old tabby for two weeks in May 2018. She is a lovely person who provided excellent care for our cat and left our home in excellent shape (and we're picky!). The evening we returned she had a lovely dinner waiting for us. We would happily have Tina back to look after our home and pet anytime.

Perfect!
Tina responded to a last-minute ad I placed on this site, to look after my two cats whilst I spent Christmas and New Year with my family elsewhere. At the drop of a hat, she came. The whole arrangement was done over email but I had no problems whatsoever. Tina kept in touch over the period, looked after the cats amazingly, and stayed, keeping the house lived-in (over Christmas when the pipes could have burst etc.), and the plants watered. On my return, when Tina had just left the morning prior, I found the house wonderfully tidy, a lovely note left, and the cats relaxed and well-fed! Not only did I have no complaints, I had many praises. In summary, I would recommend Tina's minding services without any hesitation whatsoever!
