Experienced sitter learning Italian

About this sitter

An experienced sitter with excellent references from private and other websites but none for this website.
An active retired professional engineer, a non-smoker, comfortable in either the city or rural situations.
I love of nature wherever ever it is with a special interest in butterflies and bees.
I am learning Italian and wish to improve my fluency when house sitting.

Why they want to house sit

I have been lucky enough to have lived in Missouri, USA and to have travelled extensively throughout Europe. I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures so house sitting and pet sitting will give me that opportunity again but in an enhanced way.

Their experience

I am experienced and have excellent references from other websites and private sits but none for this website.
In 2024 I completed a 7-week dog sit (Miki) in France and a 2-week cat sit (Sophie) in Abruzzo, Italy and in the UK have sat for a dog (Dougie) and cat (Bella) in Cheshire, a dog in Malvern (Nickel) and another dog (Tilley) near Liverpool.
Also, I have had the pleasure of looking after pets for friends and family, such as dogs Lucy and Denzil, and Tony the cat .
Of course I have had my own pets, but who hasn’t.

What can they bring to the assignment

I will be fully dedicated to the care of your pets and home from which I will derive A great deal of pleasure.
I believe that I am sensitive to the moods and different personalities of pets which I believe is a key quality in these situations.
I follow home-owners instructions closely, have consistent daily routines and can give updates (WhatsApp , FaceTime, MapMyRide, etc) to the owners so they know everything is running smoothly.
Finally, I am fully aware of the immense commitment and love that owners put into their pets, homes and gardens.
Homeowners can rest assured that their property can be safely entrusted to me, that will be properly secured and very well looked after.
In the past I have renovated my own cottage, have experience of solid fuel and log burning stoves, and of septic tanks.
