International Writer and Artist

About this sitter

I am a writer, filmmaker and artist. I've lived all over the world (India, Austria, Germany, Ireland), and have lived in all walks of life - from mansions to clay huts.
I recently lived in a cottage in Ireland, where there was no running water, no internet, and no heat - and it was the best experience of my life! I was able to fix up the house, and help make it into a better space for the owner, which was a great sense of satisfaction.

I have also lived and worked on farms, so I am familiar with most livestock. I know how to milk goats, take care of chickens, and can even tend to cattle.

I love animals, and have had pets all my life. I've recently lost my dog Pixie (whom you can see in the photos), so there is a huge big pet-shaped hole in my soul right now.

I love travelling, I live and work completely independently and there is not a single problem that doesn't have a solution.

I speak English and German, but can communicate sufficiently in French and Hindi, and am willing to learn any other language.

I am completely 100% flexible, and available worldwide.
I'm a non-smoker and don't drink or go out. I'm 31.

Why they want to house sit

As an artist, I am not bound to one place. Travelling and living in different spaces has always been a huge part of my life. I work remotely, so there is no need for me to stay in a specific place.

I love helping people and making connections, and I think house and pet sitting is a great way of combining my passions.

Their experience

Yes. I've house sat for several people in the past. References are available on request.

I can also do gardening work as well as some minor maintenance and home improvement work. I also have experience with livestock.

What can they bring to the assignment

A wealth of understanding about pets and animals, as well as a thorough understanding about gardening, house maintenance, home improvements, handiwork, and housework.
