About this sitter
Experienced traveler, polyglot, I am new to house sitting but find it a very good match for me at my age. I am 44, single lady, I like the idea of a tranquil holiday in a home instead of being on the move. I have experience with cats, dogs, little parrots, and chickens. I am super quiet, love nature, I'm responsible and very communicative: I will send you pics every day if you want, and be available for video calls anytime during your absence.
Why they want to house sit
I just like the idea of a break from my house, since I spend most of my time there. I read, write, crochet and work on my computer most of the time, so I would just do the same but somewhere else. Plus, I like to be of service and house sitting is a win win. I can't have pets of my own where I live, so being a temporary 'mom' for other pets is a lovely thing. I love nature and rural jobs so taking care of gardens and farm animals is also something I would love to do and that I don't get to do where I live.
Their experience
I house sat for a couple in Belgium, I took care of their apartment and 2 cats and three weeks. That was technically the only experience house sitting for strangers. It turned out very well, a very positive experience. They were very happy and so was I.
I have experience with cats, dogs, little parrots and chickens (we had all these animals when I was growing up, now I don't have pets).
I have experience with plants and vegetables, having grown my own little garden years ago. Now I don't have plants at home due to my own traveling and space issues (studio apt) but totally love taking care of plants!
What can they bring to the assignment
I am new to the website so I can't show many references here. I can put you in touch with the couple I house sat for in Belgium. All I can give you now is my word that I am absolutely responsible, easy going, precise, clean, I take very good care of things and animals, I am discrete around someone else's property, I am very communicative as in I'm willing to send pics every day if you like and be available for video calls.

Recommended!
Federica was our house sitter/pet sitter in July 2025. She was friendly and personable from the initial email and wanted to make sure the house sit was a good fit for both parties. On arrival in Oslo, she was easy to get along with and immediately friendly with our cats. While we were away she provided daily updates on our cats, including plenty of adorable photos. We often worry when traveling that our cats may not receive as much attention as we would give them or might miss a bit of social interaction - with Federica, this was never a worry! It was clear from the photos that she had quickly become friends with all the cats and was fantastic company for them. Towards the end of her stay, one of our cats unfortunately got out and disappeared. Federica notified us and worked with one of our in town contacts to put up posters, search for the cat, etc. She was very open and communicative about what had happened and obviously incredibly worried about our cat. When we arrived home, the cat was still missing - fortunately she was found a couple of days later. Even though Federica had departed, she kept in close contact about our cat and continued to help us with finding the cat as much as possible. Aside from the pet sitting aspect of the house sit, Federica also left our apartment clean and tidy. I would wholeheartedly recommend Federica for anyone looking for a house sitter!
