Enjoy your trip, I'll look after things back home

About this sitter

I'm a 66 year old, single, retired small-town lawyer, currently no pets of my own, non-smoker and fully vaccinated and boosted. When I meet new cats and dogs, I usually offer a gentle ear massage, which is most often GREATLY enjoyed, right away by dogs and by cats, well, whenever they decide they're darned good and ready! Dogs often warm up to me quickly, while cats get the space they need to come around on their own terms. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. In a house sit, I’m looking for a welcoming home, clear communication, and the opportunity to provide dependable, thoughtful care for your pets and property.

Why they want to house sit

I really enjoy the travel aspect of pet/house sitting and spending time in new places. Like many I suppose, I’m trying my best to make up for all the travel none of us were able to enjoy for a couple of years there. And to have your efforts be rewarded throughout the day with an appreciative tail wag or contented cat lap-nap, is simply the best.

Their experience

Yes—very much so. Over the past three years, I’ve completed more than 30 house and pet sits across the country, from the East Coast to the West Coast and many places in between. Each sit has earned consistent 5-star reviews, reflecting my reliability, attentiveness, and care for both pets and homes. I’m comfortable with a variety of routines and personalities, and I take pride in quickly adapting so pets feel secure and homeowners feel confident while they’re away.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring reliability, calm attentiveness, and genuine care for both your pets and your home. With experience from several successful sits, I’m quick to learn routines and keep things consistent so pets feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient and intuitive with animals, giving them affection, play, or space as needed. Around the home, I’m tidy and conscientious—I keep things clean, organized, and well looked after. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing everything is in good hands while you’re away.
