House Safe, Pets Happy

About this sitter

I’ve made my home by the sea and mountains, where I enjoy swimming, hiking, reading, writing, and reflecting.

While I value this quieter life, I also enjoy a change of pace. At times I miss the bustle of city life — sitting in a street café with a coffee, watching the world go by. I prefer immersion rather than just passing through a place.

Pets add a special dimension for me, whether it’s sharing a walk outdoors or having calm company while reading. I make sure they feel settled and well cared for, and I find things work best when the days have a natural rhythm — time for activity, rest, and simply enjoying the environment.

Why they want to house sit

House sitting makes travel more affordable and lets me experience places in a more genuine, local way. I enjoy being in new surroundings — it keeps me refreshed and open to new perspectives — and house sitting allows me to combine that with the companionship of animals.

In recent years I’ve found myself appreciating a balance between exploring new places and having a sense of routine. House sitting offers exactly that: the structure of clear responsibilities, the comfort of a home environment, and the pleasure of caring for pets. I value the trust that homeowners place in me, and I always honour it — when I commit to a sit, I’m reliable, present, and fully engaged. Having a clear role and purpose in a place makes the experience far more rewarding.

Their experience

I grew up with a variety of pets and have completed eight successful house sits. My approach is calm and respectful. I’m not an entertainer or a constant distraction — I give animals companionship, stability, and attentive care, while maintaining a balanced, low-impact presence in your home.

What can they bring to the assignment

I travel light, respect the home and community, and I’m a non-smoker who drinks only occasionally. I lead a balanced, low-key life and keep mentally and physically active.

I do what’s agreed and take care of the small things that make a difference. I believe trust is best established before a sit, so I keep you informed in a steady, uncomplicated way — never overdoing it.

My career involved handling sensitive responsibilities where follow-through and reliability were essential, and I bring that same approach to house sitting. I plan my journeys carefully and always aim to arrive a day or two early (staying in a hotel), so your travel plans are never affected by unexpected delays.

I enjoy the slower, more reflective pace of travelling to a sit and building hotel stops along the way. Apart from enjoying the journey, this approach is dependable - the built-in pauses create buffers that ensure I reach you on time, even if something unexpected occurs.

As soon as a sit is confirmed, I book my travel and hotel immediately and share the details with you so you can be fully reassured of my commitment.

As I do with every homeowner, I provide proof of identity — passport, driving licence, and a utility bill — before the sit.

I’m drawn to house-sits that feel like a mutual exchange built on trust, with clear communication and a willingness to adapt as real life unfolds.
