Professional House & Pet Guardian | Discreet, Dependable, In-Demand

About this sitter

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.

Why they want to house sit

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.

? 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.”
