I’m a seasoned international house and pet sitter with over a decade of experience across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, including long-term and return sits in Hong Kong, France, Portugal, the U.K., and throughout the States.
I specialize in calm, solo care—ideal for clients who value maturity, dependability, and discretion. I’ve managed remote properties, elderly pets, and complex household systems in both rural and urban settings.
I’m looking for house sits where my presence is genuinely valuable—whether that’s through extended care, medical support for animals, or simply maintaining peace and order in your absence. I’m not a tourist looking for a free place to stay; I offer real care and carry real responsibility.
In select circumstances—extended sits, remote properties, or unique care needs—I’m open to discussing a modest travel stipend or caretaker's fee.
Let’s talk if you’re seeking someone seasoned, self-contained, and committed to doing this well.
House sitting allows me to offer a meaningful service while living simply and intentionally. I’ve built my life around caring for people’s homes and animals with the same respect and responsibility I’d bring to my own.
I value quiet environments, the company of animals, and the trust that’s required to be invited into someone’s space. I’m not passing through—I’m present, engaged, and there to protect what matters to you.
This is not a side gig for me. It’s a calling, and one I take seriously.
? What I Offer
Expert Pet Care: Loving, experienced care for dogs, cats, horses, and specialty animals—including seniors, rescues, and pets with medical or emotional needs.
Healing Presence: Trained equine massage therapist with a calm, intuitive energy animals respond to.
Professional Reliability: Mature, solo sitter with a strong record of trust, discretion, and repeat clients.
Peace of Mind: Your home and animals are safe in capable, attentive, detail-oriented hands.
? Testimonials
House Sit – Manchester, Vermont
“Heidi is dedicated to making her clients happy and feeling taken care of! She flew across the country at the drop of a hat to care for our little fur baby. You have found a lovely, trustworthy house sitter in Heidi!”
– Kathy K.
Pet Care – Ottsville, Pennsylvania
“My one dog also has issues about eating (needs to be spoon-fed); Heidi did it without hesitation—and what is even more amazing, he ate with her.
He has such anxiety issues, but not with Heidi. You will find Heidi is reliable, follows directions to a T (we have a very specific diet and regimen for the dogs daily), and just makes them so happy and comfortable.
Will I hire her again? You bet—I’m having her come back to take care of them later this spring. I should add, too, that the house was in good order when I returned as well, so she not only treats the dogs with respect (and love) but also treats your house with respect.
I highly recommend Heidi to you.”
– Lori D.

Testimonials
House sitter for my 3 cats. My cats have never had it so good.
House sitter for my 3 cats. My cats have never had it so good. Heidi is a professional cat caretaker. She took care of my indoor cats for 4 weeks while I was in Egypt. Heidi is very warm, kind and caring person. Almost every day I received videos of how my cats were doing and how they were playing. Kimmy, Kaisa and Malaika really like her, they were very relaxed. She played with them every day, fed them, give them fresh water each day and provided a clean litter box. She also gave them a lot of attention and cuddled and combed them. She is also very creative when making toys. Beside that she kept the house neat and clean.
