Experienced Sitter Available 15+ Years Experience

About this sitter

**I’ve had a last minute cancellation for a two month sit, I’m now available through the end of November.**

I’m an animal loving digital nomad. I enjoy taking care of animals and experiencing new places. As a nomad, I appreciate being a homebody, and having furry companions. I enjoy taking local walks, whether it’s exploring the local neighborhood, fields, or wood.

I’ve been involved in animal rescue, fostering, and rehoming in Uruguay, India, Nepal, U.S., and Spain.

I’m currently a graphic designer and social media manager for nonprofits. Earlier in life I was a backcountry ranger, eight years of which I worked in Yellowstone National Park.

I’m a keen walker, enjoy bike camping/touring when I’m not house/farm sitting.

Why they want to house sit

I love animals and enjoy getting to know them and discovering their unique personalities. Nothing more satisfying than winning over the heart of a little being. Pet sitting satisfies my wish to be around animals.

I have the heart of a nomad and enjoy experiencing new places in a more grounded behind the scenes way, not as a tourist. When I house sit I get to know an area, culture, and natural landscape more profoundly than as a tourist whisking through. I enjoy being able to explore an area with dogs and cats (some cats I’ve taken care of like to go on walks too!) they notice and show me things I normally might have missed.

I do quite a few recurring pet sits and I’ve enjoyed getting to know them on a more profound level. It’s great fun to return to my furry and feathery friends.

Their experience

I started pet sitting while at university, between jobs, and while traveling. I worked for the owner and CEO of a company, traveling, living, and doing long stays internationally and domestically, caring for his two dogs for several months at a time for ten years.

When I lived in Boston I did overnight care of pets in their home and in mine.

I’ve been entrusted with the care of dogs recovering from surgery and managed their rehabilitation and medication.

When I had my own home I enjoyed gardening and doing my own minor repairs and improvements. I would care for your home with the same concern and dedication.

During the pandemic I managed a property with 7 apartments in Cozumel, Mexico for a friend who wasn’t able to return from the UK.

When I was a backcountry ranger in Yellowstone I supervised the care of three horses and trained seasonal employees how to ride, pack, and care for the horses.

While working with pet rescue organizations I learned how to give vaccinations, insulin shots, and administer medications. I have a soft spot for special needs and senior pets.

I work part-time remotely which means I will be working in the home, available to your pets, keeping them company.

What can they bring to the assignment

I have experience caring for animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, chickens, rats, cows, goats, sheep, and horses, including pets with special needs. I managed back country corral operations for a subdistrict in Yellowstone N.P.

My senior Jack Russell Terrier, who recently passed at over 15 years, was my constant companion on international work trips, and house sitting assignments. I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and I bring that lifelong love and understanding to every sit.

I live simply and I’m a keen walker—dogs enjoy plenty of exercise tailored to their needs, while cats get their fill of cuddles while I work remotely. I’m a homebody at heart, happiest exploring locally on dog walks, cooking, and reading.

Your pets and home will be cared for as if they were my own, with the warmth and reliability of a trusted family member while you’re away.

I’m active on several house sitting platforms and also find sits through referrals. I’d be glad to provide further references upon request.

I’m open to long-term sits, caring for family farms, and feel especially at home in colder weather and northern climates.
