Calm, reliable pet sitter who loves quiet homes, cuddly pets, and tidy spaces

About this sitter

I’m a creative, responsible traveler who splits time between writing, photography, and exploring new places. I live in Michigan with my two spoiled dogs and my partner, but I often travel solo, especially when I can combine adventure with meaningful connection. I’m looking for house sits that offer a peaceful space, the joy of animal companionship, and the chance to live like a local. Bonus points if there’s a cozy kitchen or a view that begs for a cup of tea and a good book.

Why they want to house sit

To me, house sitting is a beautiful trade: I get to care for your home and animals as if they were my own, and in return, I get the chance to explore a new corner of the world without rushing. I find that I connect best to places not as a tourist, but as someone who lives quietly within them; feeding the cat, walking the dog, watering the herbs by the sink. It’s also a way for me to travel affordably and intentionally while I work remotely on creative projects.

Their experience

I’ve looked after both cats and dogs through house sits for friends, family, and clients. I currently have two dogs of my own, and my partner keeps reptiles (so I’m not new to feeding schedules or temperature control!). I’ve also cared for homes during long absences, including watering plants, collecting mail, and keeping things clean and secure. I’m happy to provide references if needed.

What can they bring to the assignment

Reliability, clear communication, and genuine care. I’m tidy, organized, and deeply respectful of the fact that someone is trusting me with their home and beloved pets. I treat each space as if it were my own and every animal like one of mine. Whether your pets need cuddles or space, routine or flexibility, I adapt to what makes them feel safe and loved. I also send regular updates so you can relax knowing everything is going smoothly.
