Experienced, caring house sitter available for peaceful homes in Italy, UK, France..

About this sitter

I’m based in Italy and the UK, caring for peaceful homes and loving companion animals with warmth, respect, and calm attention. Available for sits across Italy, France, and the UK.

From November 1–30, I’ll be in Tuscany caring for a friend’s home and cats. I’m available for future sits beginning in December and into 2026—including both short-term and extended stays.

I recently completed a three-month sit in the UK caring for two affectionate Russian Blue cats—a truly lovely experience—and received a wonderful testimonial from their owners. The time reaffirmed how much I enjoy building trust with both pets and people, creating a calm, happy atmosphere in their home.

With a background in retreat hosting, home design, and guest accommodation, I bring a thoughtful, presence-led approach to each home I care for. I’m especially drawn to nature-immersed settings—villages, countryside, and small towns with walking paths and fresh markets nearby—though I also enjoy well-connected urban or coastal stays that carry a sense of calm and sanctuary.

As a writer and wellness practitioner (Reiki-based), I simply require reliable Wi-Fi and a quiet space for occasional online sessions, writing, and meditation recordings.

Whether you’re looking for a dependable, last-minute sitter or a steady long-term presence, I’d be delighted to care for your home and companions as if they were my own.

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.

I often spend part of the year near my daughter in Italy and welcome sits across Europe and the UK. I'm open to varied locations that harmonize with a quiet, creative lifestyle and connection to nature.

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 attuned to their unique rhythms, and I care for them with gentleness, respect, and presence.

In addition to house sitting, I’ve managed and co-hosted retreats, boutique guest stays, and B&B-style accommodations across Europe and the U.S.—offering thoughtful care not just to guests, but to the spaces themselves. My background in holistic design and home aesthetics helps me maintain welcoming, harmonious environments that support rest, reflection, and beauty.

Whether you're seeking someone to tend to beloved pets, mind your home during travels, or gently steward a guest space during a seasonal pause—I bring steadiness, trust, and warm professionalism to every assignment.
