In Scotland now -available after June 19th - flexible location

About this sitter

Hello! I’m currently house sitting across Scotland — Forfar, Alexandria, Bo’ness, Aberdeen, Dunfermline, and Kinghorn — through June 19.

My availability and location after June 19 are flexible, so please feel free to inquire.

Prior to this, I completed a sit in Tuscany (see link at the bottom of the page for references and reviews from this and many other stays). When in Italy, I’m especially interested in sits in or near Rome so I can be close to my daughter, though I’m happy to consider opportunities in all areas.

I generally prefer longer-term stays, as they allow me to settle into a home and provide consistent, attentive care, but I’m also open to shorter sits when it feels like a good mutual fit.

In October 2025, I completed a three-month UK sit caring for two affectionate Russian Blue cats — a truly lovely experience — and received a wonderful testimonial here on MindMyHouse. Additional references and reviews, including five-star feedback on the HouseSittersUK platform, can be found via the link below.

Why they want to house sit

House sitting offers a rhythm of stillness and meaningful service—caring for homes and animals while creating a nurturing space for writing, meditation recordings, and retreat planning.

Their experience

I bring many years of experience caring for beautiful homes, gardens, and beloved animal companions—primarily dogs and cats. Animals tend to feel at ease with me, and I with them. I’m attentive to their unique rhythms and care for them with gentleness, respect, and calm presence.

I’ve managed and co-hosted retreats, boutique guest stays, and B&B-style accommodations across Europe and the U.S., supporting not only guests but the atmosphere and integrity of the spaces themselves. My background in holistic design and home aesthetics allows me to maintain environments that feel welcoming, harmonious, and thoughtfully cared for.

Whether you’re seeking someone to care for pets during travel, steward your home in your absence, or support a guest or accommodation property during active stays, seasonal preparation, or transitions, I bring steadiness, discretion, and warm professionalism to every assignment.

I also have experience preparing homes for guest use and for sale—including staging, coordinating housekeeping, organizing operational systems, and readying properties for listings, viewings, or seasonal openings. I’m comfortable supporting homes that benefit from an attentive, capable, and detail-oriented presence.

What can they bring to the assignment

— Care for each home with steadiness, presence, and respect—tending it as if it were my own
— Loving, attentive care for dogs and cats, honoring their individual rhythms and needs
— Cleanliness and calm: food areas, bedding, toys, and litter kept fresh and orderly
— Respectful stewardship of both home and garden
— Experienced support for guest accommodations, B&Bs, and retreat spaces—preparing and maintaining environments that support rest, beauty, and ease
— Background in holistic design and aesthetics, with a natural eye for harmony, flow, and seasonal care
— Quiet, grounded presence well suited to retreat homes, sabbatical residences, or intentional living spaces
— Clear, consistent communication and thoughtful updates while you’re away

— When a home or property would benefit from additional support beyond traditional house sitting, I’m happy to discuss roles aligned with my background in guest accommodations and home preparation. Expanded responsibilities can be arranged separately by mutual agreement.


Please note:
I’m vegetarian and kindly decline any sits involving animal farming or hunting.
