Hello! I'm a zen, loving and responsible yogi. I've house-sat and pet-sat for years! Looking forward to connecting!

About this sitter

Hello brilliant being! It's a pleasure to be connected with you here. My name is Shalini and I work in the personal development and mindfulness space. I'm a yoga and meditation teacher, a mindset and embodiment coach, and I guide wellness retreats and workshops around the world.

I was born in London, though I've lived most of my live in America (in Miami, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles). I am a US citizen, though I'm also very much a citizen of the world! My mother was born in Singapore and my dad was born in India. I have lived a good amount of time in Asia - primarily in Bali, Indonesia (where I did my yoga teacher training back in 2016) and I also lived in India for a year and half which was so powerful!

I speak many languages: Spanish, English, Hindi and Punjabi. At some point, I would love to give myself the spaciousness to learn French!

As a yoga teacher, movement and meditation are certianly a big part of my life. I love to go hiking, I love singing, dancing and I'm currently learning the guitar. I am also vegetarian and I love to cook! I learned how to make so many yummy Indian dishes when I lived in India!

I love animals and I look forward to connecting with you further! Have a wonderful flow to the rest of your day ahead. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and considering me. Much love!

Why they want to house sit

I love animals! I have pet sat and home sat many many times before and I look forward to being a trusted guardian for your home and pet(s) while you are out of town.

I also am in a space in life where I'm focusing on study - I'm deepening my spiritual practice, I'm learning the guitar, I'm giving myself spaciousness for song writing. So in that, when I'm not having to pay for rent, it gives me more space to explore these places of study without any contraction or guilt.

As a yogini, service is also a big part of my life. Other values I live by are truth, peace, joy and Universal love. On the service piece, I love the fact that by pet sitting and home sitting, I am helping someone out and helping them have more peace of mind that their home and their beloved pets are being lovingly taken care of.

While I am new to this website, I am certainly not new to house/pet sitting. I'm happy to provide references of friends of mine who I've pet sit for. I've taken care of both cats and dogs. I also encourage you to look up my profile on AirBnb (I've been a host in the past when I lived in NY, and I also use AirBnb as a guest also). You can check out my consistent 5-Star reviews there to getter a better feel for my vibe.

Their experience

Yes! I have years and years of experience house-sitting and pet-sitting (mostly cats, dogs and fish). I have established profiles with 5star reviews on both AirBnb and TrustedHousesitters.

What can they bring to the assignment

Besides of course taking great care of your home, pets and plants, I will also energetically charge up your home with loving, expansive and healing light energy. My consistent yoga and meditation practice is a big part of my life and I am often found singing or playing sacred mantras in the spaces I'm in - this powerful light vibration gets infused into the space.

I'm also more than happy to send updates via photos/videos of your beloved pets and/or plants while you're away!
