Teacher
They have referees/references (view below)
I'm a secondary school teacher, living and working in London.
I love travel, but also like to stay in each place long enough to really get to know it.
I don't have many requirements in what I need from a house sit, just a clean and comfortable place to stay and if there's a pet to keep me company, that's a bonus! I usually look for places to stay that are not far from the coast.
As a Teacher, I have long holidays, and house sitting is an affordable way to have a change of scene for a longer stretch of time.
I am also considering moving to Spain in the next few years, so I am trying to spend some time in the country outside the tourist centres to help with that decision.
I am experienced in house and pet sitting for friends and friends-of-friends, and through this site.
I am very clean and tidy and considerate of other people's belongings and space. I like to think that I'm friendly and easy to work, and open to any specific requirements or extra responsibility. I have experience in hospitality (I used to run our family guesthouse in Scotland) and like to leaves the homes I look after in a state that is enjoyable for homeowners to return to.
I'm a practical and level-headed person in the case of any problems and can be trusted to communicate issues and solve them with minimal stress for the homeowner.
If pets are part of the assignment, I am experienced with caring for dogs, cats, rodents, fish and horses. I enjoy their company and am a safe and caring person to entrust your beloved animals to.
I have a lot of houseplants myself and am happy caring for houseplants and gardens.
I speak Spanish and have a basic understanding of Italian and Portuguese.

Testimonials
Great reliable cat and home carer
Ellen was very responsive when the advert was first placed and happy to have a Skype interview. She arrived a couple of days before we left to get her bearings and it was great to be able to have a proper face-to-face handover and show her the house and what needed doing as well as introduce her to Macy, the cat. Throughout her stay, she kept us informed with updates and let us know after there were strong winds that there was no damage to the house. She was also accommodating to our grown-up daughter who needed to pass through on a couple of occasions. She was very responsible and thoughtful about leaving the house and everything was clean and tidy on our return. I highly recommend Ellen as a communicative, pleasant and reliable home-sitter who is great with cats.
