Responsible and furriendly remote worker!

About this sitter

Hi, I’m Joyce! I’m 35 years old. I grew up in a small town (of about 5,000 people) in northeast Ohio, but I’ve lived in Chicago for the past 17 years.

I work from home, as I own and operate a small online business called Off Book It, where I teach actors and actresses how to memorize lines more efficiently. I’m a trained actress myself as well as a 3-day champion on the gameshow Jeopardy!

I’m a non-smoker. I’m a pretty low-key, bookish individual, but I like to remain active! I love walking, hiking, biking, and I practice yoga on a daily basis. I love to learn, read, and explore. I also play piano.

Why they want to house sit

I’m interested in exploring parts of the United States and the world I’ve never been to and living as a local. I love animals, but I have no pets of my own. You could say I have a cat-shaped hole in my heart that a cat cafe visit simply cannot fill! I’d love the opportunity to take care of and bond with some new furriends, while traveling and drawing inspiration from new places, as I continue to grow my fledgling online business.

Their experience

I love all animals, but I have the most experience taking care of cats, as I grew up with a beautiful black cat named Gia.

I took care of a lovely tabby cat for a friend of mine for about a week while he was on a trip to Egypt.

I'm also happy to take care of any plants and gardens.

What can they bring to the assignment

I’m aware of the important responsibilities of taking care of a pet, and am able to follow detailed instructions and schedules. I work from home, so I'm able to give pets a lot of love and attention. I love getting to know the unique, funny personalities of each individual animal!
