Avid Animal Lover & Reliable and Trustworthy HouseSitter

About this sitter

Hi! My name is Masha.

About Me
(I have currently finished 2 sits in Montreal). Prior to this, I was in Boulder helping take care of my roommate's 3 dogs ( as pictured!).

- I used to run a travel company, and am an avid traveler and huge animal lover!
-I currently study remotely (Bio undergrad, continuing in Psychology) and am a certified Functional Medicine Coach.
-My personal passions are the arts, music, hosting and community organizing for people struggling with different rare and chronic disease and illness. I run monthly podcasts with specialists and support groups for patients weekly - this freedom is facilitated by doing housesitting full time so I generally look for long, stable stays.

My primary focus is my work focus, academics and taking care of the babies I'm caring for :). I am reliable, easy going, and highly communicative.

Why they want to house sit

I am a Functional Medicine Health Coach and health advocate and extremely passionate about this as this was my life for many years. I do this remotely as well. :) I work and study most of my days so housesitting helps me accomplish more while being able to enjoy life, the company of amazing animals and be able to give back more to my health communities. Traveling gives me back life, and a sense of adventure that I love that I thought I would never have again.

Their experience

I have officially completed 2 housesits I am happy to give additional external references to (Featured in my pictures and by request). I also have a vault of external references from others and for safe measure, have completed an extensive background check and can provide added Airbnb reviews to ensure I am a trusted visitor and guest. With homes, I am extremely respectful. I follow rules and guidelines and ensure the care of any place where I stay. References all available upon request!


In my past, I have raised and/or cared for everything from: rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, turtles, cats, and dogs (both small and large.) I've taken care of my friends dog when she was ill and I walked him and gave him medication ( German Shephard). I took care of multiple dogs during my jobs in caretaking several years ago. ( Feeding, walking, and even training several dogs at the same time.) I have extensive experience with all kinds of animals including reptiles who are quite tricky but I absolutely love them. I enjoy spending tons of time with my furry (or scaly!) companions and I love to keep them happy, stimulated, and ensure that they all get their own individual meals and supplements- they all have particular needs.

The age of my own dog I've raised is 10 and my cat is 9. The dogs I have just cared for are 13, 12, and 8. I am good with older dogs, and young pups. The ages of the three cats I have recently stayed with are 3, 7, and 8.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am reliable, and highly communicative. I always take care of the homes and properties I am entrusted to. I have been through two major storms that compromised the homes and safety of the pets in whose homes I have stayed with and averted disaster by effective communication and effective action. I have a healthy amount of knowledge of medicine, which can help in the event of an emergency.

I always send updates and pictures to my hosts, and am always in contact whenever needed. I have extensive external references upon request and have been background checked. As an added precaution, I am happy to provide my work and community projects to ensure that I am a real person, and true to my word.

Additionally, I am always available upon request for video interview to see if I am a suitable fit for you and your loved one!
