About this sitter

Hello, I am a manual therapist/massage therapist, cook and gardener who loves to explore new places and cultures.

I have traveled solo far and wide, to the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, Europe, Central America, the Amazon and India. Also, I have lived in my share of places, my home state of Massachusetts, the mountains and coast of California and even a little island of Nicaragua for a stint.
I hold both US & EU passport, an international driving permit and I can drive a manual car. My family is from Greece where I spent many childhood summers, hence my love for travel.

House sitting for me tells a story, leaving one for my imagination like reading a good book. Speaking of books, part of my desire for this travel break is to attempt to write a book!

I can handle a lawnmower, irrigation lines, all garden needs and even a chainsaw. Pool maintenance is easy. I am happy to handle your household needs such as mail, organization and maintenance.

I am very respectful, strong, compassionate and caring woman. I travel alone by choice so please be assured there will be no visitors unless we organised this prior.

Why they want to house sit

To have a homey space to stay while exploring the area while caring for your pets, plants, garden and fruit trees. These all would be wonderful additions for this travel.
To simply have time to relax with a fury friend while I read, work or study will be warmly welcomed. Long walks with your pups would be my pleasure. In my down time, you will find me cooking, gardening, researching, stretching or dancing about. If there is pool or beach, I will swim and dive (I was a certified PADI divemaster). If there are instruments, I usually will fiddle if allowed.

Their experience

Yes, I have sat for many peoples homes and pets wherever I have lived over my lifetime.

Back in the day, I traveled across the US and into Canada for weeks with with my friends full grown dog, Kaya (who I pet sit for many times). It was my excuse to travel by needing her to be delivered to the opposite coast so she did not have to fly. She was my favorite road trip buddy!

One May 29, 2023, I completed a 1 month house in my area for while owners travel overseas (I am requesting as referral now). In October 2021, I house sat for three weeks the two dogs you see in the photos, Harry & Marley (one photo is the owner with her “lap” dog Harry, ha!). She is happy to connect with anyone directly for reference.
The cats you see in the photo are another gentlemen my area that I have cared for many time while he is traveling for work.
Many years ago, I would watch over my friends casitas, land and home when staying in Nicaragua. Aside of this one, it will be my first time house sitting overseas and I am excited for this way of exploring an area.

What can they bring to the assignment

What can I bring..?
Care, support, good energy, affection for all fury friends, hard work (if required), cleanliness and trust. I will care for your animals as if my own and also your home always being respectful of your neighbors. As I said above, I love to tend to vegetable, flower and herb gardens plus fruit trees and house plants. Some years ago, I took a year long herbalist program for my curiosity of plant medicine.
