About this sitter

I'm a 40-year-old freelance translator living in Paris (originally from Canada). I've been house-sitting for over a decade now, through this and other sites.

Why they want to house sit

I've had only positive experiences in the 10+ years I've been house- and pet-sitting.

Sometimes I pet-sit as a travel option, and other times just for a change of scenery while I work (an advantage of freelancing!).

It makes me very happy to temporarily adopt someone else's pets once or twice a year, since I can't have my own in my tiny Paris apartment. I've had cats and dogs throughout my life and love spending time with them.

Above all, I like the community aspect of house-sitting. I've met some great people this way, and I like the idea of sharing time in exchange for space. Win-win!

Generally, I'm open to local sits in France, especially in the countryside, and elsewhere in Europe. Since I will likely be working, at least part-time, I can only consider locations with strong wifi and cell service.

Specifically this summer, I am hoping to escape the heat of my top-floor Paris flat and spend August somewhere further north!

Their experience

Some past assignments include:
- Looking after a darling rottweiler mix in Copenhagen
- Minding a zoo of 2 rescue dogs and 3 cats in Rome
- Caring for a personable Jack Russell terrier in a small town in Spain
- Running after 2 rambunctious labs and 1 cat in an Edinburgh suburb
- Looking after 2 lazy and hungry farm cats in the French countryside
- Cuddling up with 2 apartment cats in a suburb of Madrid
- Navigating vineyards with a poodle in a southern French village
- Earning the trust of 5 sheep and a cat in rural Manitoba

I grew up with dogs and cats. I've also volunteered as a dog-walker and kitten-feeder at the local humane society where I live, and regularly cat-, dog- and guinea-pig-sit for family and friends.

What can they bring to the assignment

I'm reliable, independent and tidy: Your house and pets are in good hands.

I'm a non-smoker.

I speak fluent French and passable Spanish.

While I won't pretend to be a gardening expert, I do enjoy it and can at least help to keep any weeds at bay.
