NYC-based house sitter—discreet and professional

About this sitter

I’m a responsible, organized, and reliable house sitter based in New York City. I teach at Hunter College two days a week during the academic year, and the rest of my schedule is highly flexible. I’m comfortable caring for animals, tending gardens, managing light maintenance, and even supervising minor construction or repairs. I take pride in keeping a home clean, secure, and running smoothly.

I’m seeking house-sitting opportunities in the NYC area—short-term or long-term, live-in or daily check-ins. I’m dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home, and I aim to provide peace of mind while you’re away.

Why they want to house sit

For over 20 years, I’ve managed my own rental properties, and I take pride in maintaining homes to a high standard. House sitting offers the opportunity to bring that same level of attention, responsibility, and care to someone else’s home. With a flexible schedule and no personal obligations tying me down, I’m able to give homeowners peace of mind and provide consistent, high-quality oversight while they’re away.

Their experience

Yes. I bring both hands-on experience and long-term property management expertise. I’ve house-sat for professors for full summers during graduate school, and for over 20 years I’ve managed and maintained my own multi-unit property, which I fully renovated. I’m very comfortable supervising contractors, coordinating maintenance, and ensuring a home is kept in excellent condition. My professional background in financial management and my Ph.D. further demonstrate the level of responsibility, discretion, and reliability I bring to every assignment.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring reliability, clear communication, and a strong sense of responsibility to every assignment. With over 20 years of property-management experience and hands-on renovation work, I can keep a home running smoothly, address small issues before they become big ones, and coordinate minor repairs or maintenance when needed. I’m attentive, organized, and respectful of each homeowner’s space and preferences. You can expect a clean, well-cared-for home and consistent updates while you’re away.
