Loving, Experienced Care for Your Home and Pets

About this sitter

I’m a calm, caring, and dependable person who has spent her life in roles rooted in trust and responsibility. I’m a teacher, a homeowner, and a mother to both children and beloved pets, and caring for homes and animals with attentiveness and respect comes naturally to me.

Animals have always been an important part of my life. For 20 wonderful years, I cared for my Russian Blue, Baja, through every stage of her life. That experience taught me patience, intuition, and the importance of routine. I’m very comfortable caring for pets’ daily needs, maintaining schedules, giving medications when needed, and providing steady companionship while their people are away. I pay close attention not only to pets’ physical care, but to their emotional comfort as well.

I treat every home as if it were my own — keeping it tidy, secure, and running smoothly. I’m observant, organized, and respectful of privacy, and I follow instructions carefully. Homeowners can feel confident knowing their space is being looked after with care and pride.

Along with my responsible side, I’m warm, curious, and quietly joyful. I enjoy simple pleasures like morning coffee, gentle walks, and settling into the rhythm of a home and neighborhood. Pets tend to respond well to calm energy, and I bring a steady, reassuring presence into the homes I care for.

I’m looking for house sits where loving pet care, clear communication, and mutual trust are valued. I offer a quiet, non-smoking, non-partying presence, communicate regularly, and take my responsibilities seriously. In return, I’m grateful for the opportunity to experience new places while providing thoughtful, dependable care for both homes and beloved pets.

Why they want to house sit

I’m drawn to house sitting because it allows me to combine two things I genuinely love: caring for homes and pets, and experiencing new places in a meaningful, grounded way.

I’ve spent my life in caretaker roles — as a teacher, a mother, and a longtime pet owner — and I find real satisfaction in providing steady, thoughtful care. House sitting feels like a natural extension of that. I enjoy maintaining routines, creating a calm environment for pets, and knowing that homeowners can relax and travel without worry.

I also appreciate the simplicity of house sitting. Rather than feeling like a guest, I enjoy becoming a temporary steward of a home — keeping things running smoothly, respecting privacy, and honoring the trust placed in me. In return, I’m grateful for the opportunity to experience different communities while offering genuine care in a way that feels mutually beneficial.

Their experience

Yes, I’m very experienced. I’ve house and pet sat for many years for friends and family, both in the U.S. and internationally.

I’ve cared for homes and pets in Nice, France, as well as London, for a couple who own homes in both locations. In the U.S., I’ve house and pet sat in Texas and other areas, primarily caring for cats. I’ve also looked after a friend’s beloved tuxedo cat, Gerald — a very handsome and charming companion.

In every sit, I take my responsibility for the home just as seriously as I do the pets. I’m a very tidy and conscientious housekeeper and treat each home with care and respect. I keep things clean, neat, and well maintained, ensure doors and windows are secure, bring in mail and packages, and watch over the home as if it were my own.

I’m also very comfortable caring for gardens and plants. When I lived in Nebraska, I grew my own vegetables, and I currently tend a beautiful Meyer lemon tree at home that produces over 1,000 lemons each season — which I happily share with neighbors and friends. I enjoy watering, pruning, harvesting, and keeping outdoor spaces healthy and thriving.

My experience extends beyond cats and dogs. I’ve cared for a 3-foot iguana and exotic birds, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for animals with unique needs. I’m attentive, patient, and careful to maintain routines exactly as requested.

At home, I also foster kittens and help find them loving homes, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and emotional needs. Whether I’m caring for one pet or several, a home or a garden, I approach every sit with the same level of responsibility, warmth, and genuine care.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring a calm, capable, and genuinely caring presence to every house sit. I take the responsibility seriously and approach each assignment with respect, attentiveness, and heart.

I offer reliable, loving care for pets, including maintaining routines, providing companionship, and paying close attention to both their physical and emotional needs. I also bring conscientious care for the home itself — keeping it clean, tidy, secure, and well maintained, and watching over it as if it were my own.

In addition, I’m attentive to gardens and plants, comfortable with watering, pruning, harvesting, and general upkeep. I enjoy keeping outdoor spaces healthy and thriving.

Clear communication is important to me. I follow instructions carefully, respect privacy completely, and provide updates so homeowners feel at ease while they’re away. I’m organized, proactive, and calm in unexpected situations.

Above all, I bring peace of mind. Homeowners can travel knowing their pets, home, and garden are in thoughtful, trustworthy hands, cared for by someone who truly values the trust placed in her.
