Calm, Reliable and Fun!

About this sitter

About Me

I’m a quiet, attentive, and highly responsible house-sitter who treats homes as places of care and continuity. I’m especially well-suited for households that value calm routines, cleanliness, discretion, and clear communication.

I’m comfortable caring for both homes and animals for extended periods, and I adapt well when plans change unexpectedly. I take pride in creating a stable, low-stress environment — for pets, children, and the home itself.

Why they want to house sit

I’ve been caretaking since I was 12 years old and have always loved taking care of children, pets and homes. I took a break when I got into my professional career as a cybersecurity SOC analyst and now I would like to return and take care of pets, children and homes again. I have always grown up with animals starting with different varieties of birds/fish as well as gerbils and a dog and now cats and I am ready to pour my love into these sweet little creatures once again!

House & Pet Sitting Experience

I’ve cared for multiple private homes ranging from a townhome to a 5,000 sq ft residence, often for multi-week stays.
• Townhome:
• Repeated stays of 2+ weeks at a time
• Cared for three high-energy schnauzers
• Maintained daily routines, feeding schedules, exercise, and home upkeep
• Large private residence (5,000 sq ft):
• 3+ week stay
• Cared for one large dog and one small dog
• Maintained a large home independently with attention to cleanliness and security

Both homeowners were government officials, including one with the NSA, which required a high level of discretion, reliability, and trust. I’m very comfortable respecting privacy and maintaining a low-profile presence in the home.

During one sit, my stay was unexpectedly extended due to the Blizzard of 2016. What was planned as a two-week sit required adaptability, calm decision-making, and maintaining care routines during severe weather conditions. I handled the extension smoothly and responsibly.

Childcare Experience

In addition to house and pet care, I have 12+ years of childcare experience, including:

This experience has strengthened my ability to remain calm, observant, and responsive — especially in environments that require patience, structure, and emotional steadiness.
