NYC-Born & Bred Nomad Available for International Home & Pet Care!

About this sitter

i am a proud lifelong new yorker who is now travelling full-time in preparation of permanently expatriating from the US!

i take caring for a stranger's home & pet seriously. therefore, i value direct, clear communication so i am set up to successfully care for pets & homes. this includes feeding schedules, vet contacts, and detailed house care info.

it's also absolutely vital for me to stay in a clean house. my expectation is that a house will be clean before my arrival and i will leave it as it was found in line with the instructions given.

trust is of utmost importance in this professional relationship, which is how i view this endeavor. because care for someone's home and pets is intimate, a sense of familiarity can often obscure the fact of that professionalism, so it's important for me to center that. for my part, i offer reviews via my other platforms, references, background checks & interviews with lots of questions to vouch for my character & care.

i've been able to build community through housesitting and plan to continue to do so all over the world. connecting with folks i wouldn't meet otherwise has been an incredible adventure and one of the reasons i travel in this way that aligns so seamlessly with my values.

Why they want to house sit

i value traveling in a way that is as sustainable & ethical as possible, centering local people, businesses, etc. i also love animals so much and being able to have furry companions in new places makes each location feel like home right off the bat.

i am a performer, teaching artist & writer and traveling has been a great way to buttress these passions. the inspiration and means to connect with other local artists has been invaluable. i also love to exchange goods & services in lieu of exchanging payment, since community & resource-trading is part of so much of my identity as a city dweller, artist, & descendant of caribbean immigrants.

Their experience

yes! i have sat for cats, dogs, bunnies, plants, etc. in multiple cities and for different types of homeowners.

What can they bring to the assignment

my respect for homes, love of animals, clear & direct communication, kindness, and hopefully the peace of mind one needs when leaving behind what is precious to them to be fully present as they themselves travel.
