Responsible, quiet, clean. Loves animals (sadly allergic to cats) Non smoker, non drinker

About this sitter

I work for forestry and live in the mountains from May to September. I am quiet, clean, responsible and a non-smoker and non-drinker. I am your typical stay-at-home introvert. I am looking for a house sit on the west coast of Canada during my off-season (November to March).

Why they want to house sit

I am forestry by trade, but an author by ambition. I would love to house sit so I can save a bit of money on rent and dedicate time to (hopefully) caring for a pet and writing.

Their experience

I am not experienced yet but I have been a homeowner and pet owner. I have experience caring for friends' dogs both dog-sitting and walking and I cared for a friend's paraplegic chocolate lab. After my dog passed, I volunteered as a dog walker for the SPCA for three years. In my current position with forestry, I am responsible for all maintenance of my work site including lawn care and minor fixes to structures such as fences.

I am currently in a remote area and haven't got my police check done, yet. I will be getting that completed as soon as I am done work in September 2022.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am mature, calm and have a deep love for animals. I am responsible and resourceful in the event of an emergency. The home I owned was almost 100 years old and it came with the issues that old houses do. Constant vigilance to prevent emergencies was the lesson I learned. I love to go for hikes and explore a bit, but for the most part, I will be at home, caring for your pets and property. Above all, what I can bring to the assignment is someone who is trustworthy, honest and will respect your property.
