Responsible and friendly English guy, flexible and regularly available at the last minute

About this sitter

I'm Mark, a 39-year-old English translator living in Paris. I've been living in France for almost 4 years now, sneaking in just before Brexit complicated things. I'm looking to take care of people's homes and animals in France and other countries in Europe. I'm pretty flexible as I work from home, so can be available fairly last minute.

Why they want to house sit

I love to explore different places and it's obviously nice to get out of the city every now and again (Paris can be stressful at times). Being freelance gives me the freedom to work from anywhere, so it makes me ideal for house sitting, and house sitting ideal for me. I also love animals, but am currently unable to have any myself, so I'd relish the opportunity to spend time looking after other people's animals.

Their experience

I regularly look after homes and pets for friends when they go away, as I have several friends who have cats and dogs. I also grew up with dogs and cats in the family, so I am very accustomed to looking after them.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am a very respectful and responsible person, so am more than capable of looking after other people's homes while they're away. As I mentioned, this is something I have done many times for friends.

Being a freelance translator, I can effectively work from anywhere. This means I have a very flexible schedule and can be available pretty last minute.

I also love animals, as I mentioned, and have plenty of experience looking after my own and my friends' pets. If you entrust me with your home and animals, they will be in the best of hands!
