Respectful Environmentally Conscious Sitter Available

About this sitter

I've travelled to a few different countries for short trips, but I've also lived in Germany for a little less than a year, Scotland for 6 years and France for 1 as well as month-long house sits in other places. From my experiences, I prefer slow meaningful travel more than just a long-weekend away; you have the time to appreciate your surroundings as well as explore the places, people and cultural differences. I enjoy being outdoors, in nature, appreciating the beauty that surrounds me. For many years, I worked as a support worker with disabled people. I’ve also worked in theatre, festivals and hostels.

One autumn I decided to go on a journey from Girona, north-eastern Spain, to the Isle of Skye, off the West Coast of Scotland, on my scooter with no return date. The experience has been one of the most meaningful and inspiring. During that winter, with the energy that filled me exploring those islands, I made the decision to become a full-time landscape (and abstract) photographer and combine my love for photography and travel. With the pandemic things got off-track…

Now, I am looking for opportunities to travel again, somewhere that inspires me and reignites the energy that I felt while exploring those isles.
I’m looking for somewhere quiet, close to nature, ideally away from too polluted areas and city life. I enjoy long meaningful conversations and learning about the place and the locals, also spending my time in nature, taking photos, gardening, etc

I speak Spanish, Catalan and English.

Why they want to house sit

I enjoy slow travel, discovering new places and soaking up all that nature has to offer, while working on my photography and writing. I believe house sitting will do that while still providing the opportunity to be of service to someone and their plant and animal companions as they embark on their journeys.

Their experience

My partner and I have had two house sitting experiences through this website and had other experiences through networking. We’ve looked after cats and dogs and maintained gardens. Our stays ranged from 3 weeks to 4 months and we are generally flexible even within the period, having extended our stay due to the home owner‘s request.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am responsible, mindful and respectful and enjoy undertaking new and fulfilling experiences. I take assignments seriously and will keep you informed regularly or as you desire. I don’t smoke or consume alcohol and hold a valid driver’s license.
