About this sitter
Mature in years but young of mind, loves to travel but loves being home too, I have a garden where I grow my own fruit and vegetables, I love to cook different types of food. I have 2 grown children, I have a small business where I do upholstery on dining table and chairs and sell online, I’m retiring soon so want to move around and keep busy. I lost my rescue dog a year ago and decided not to get another pet. I’ve had cats and dogs so I’m familiar with them. I took care of all the feral cats that were on the industrial estate where my work place is, they would come in and sleep amongst the old chairs. They used to call me the crazy cat lady, I’ve got a cup to prove it. Ha ha!!
I’m looking for a clean friendly house with a garden, pets or no pets is fine, I will treat it as I would my own.
Why they want to house sit
As I’m retiring from my business I want to keep busy and have an exciting life, not to sit around, I’ve always loved the idea of house sitting, I've lived in several different countries so travelling is fine for me.
Their experience
I have watched over several friends homes in the past and stayed in airb&b’s I think I am very capable of looking after a house.
What can they bring to the assignment
My profile says that I am capable of many things, I’m hands on, cook clean do gardening I can sew looking after pets is no problem.

Testimonials
Excellent - highly recommended housesitter!
Karen was great, right from the start. We communicated a few times before she arrived and while I was away she followed my instructions and responded promptly to messages. She loves to garden and cook, and I came home after 2 wks away to an immaculate house, a happy cat, homemade goodies in the fridge and a garden that was not only still alive despite the heat , but in better shape than I left it. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen as a house/pet sitter and would definitely ask her again.
