Reliable, dependable, honest, clean and fun animal/house sitter

About this sitter

I am a 41-year-young adult female that enjoys hiking, car trips and reading. When given the opportunity, I like to hit the open road and go exploring. I also relish taking it easy and relaxing with a good book. I absolutely love animals and I happily volunteer for animal rescue groups and sanctuaries when time allows.

Why they want to house sit

Why not???? Being around, and meeting new and different animals is just plain awesome. If you are an animal lover then you will understand this. No matter the type or size of pet family member(s) one get's to encounter on house sits, each one stands out because they are truly unique in their own way (kind of like people). The personalities, the quirks, the different needs, wants, likes, dislikes..............it's fantastic to form relationships with pets during house sits because each friendship evolves in it's own way. Plus, I find that pets are the best company!
And that's why I enjoy doing this.

Their experience

I have completed a number of sits through the Trusted Housesitters and Nomador websites. I also have extensive 'experience' looking after people's homes as a guest during my numerous travels around the world. Any place I have stayed (whether a house sit or a vacation rental or hotel/motel), I treat each space with utmost care and respect as it is property that does not belong to me. Take a look at my Airbnb reviews (40+ and counting) and you will get an idea of what I mean.

I had two wonderful and precious dogs in the past, one of them an elderly rescue. I have looked after multiple friend's dogs and cats during their trips out of the city especially during these last two crazy COVID years. I have also spent a lot of hours volunteering for spay/neuter clinics, animal shelters and farm sanctuaries during which I completed tasks such as feeding all animals and ensuring they have clean water, cleaning habitats, administering vaccine shots, assisting vets during surgery, etc. So I am familiar and comfortable with being around all sorts of animals and animals with special needs.
