20 YEARS EXPERIENCE

About this sitter

Hello! I am an experienced housesitter with 20 years experience house/pet sitting. I am retired from corporate America and do my best to live an active lifestyle. I am responsible and will care for your home, pets and plants as if they were my own. I have experience caring for pets that require medication including giving shots. I've had repeat customers in Rye, NH, Lexington, MA, Wellesley Hills, MA, Bolton, MA, Sebago Lake, ME, Healdsburg, CA, El Dorado Hills, CA, San Diego, CA, Sacramento, CA, Lake Tahoe, CA, Cameron Park, CA, Pawleys Island, SC. I’ve also housesat in Scotland, England, Switzerland, Framingham, Ma, Austin, TX. Asheville, NC, Beaufort, NC, Orinda, CA, Charleston, SC, and Charlotte, NC.

As a homeowner I understand the importance of maintaining a home. I also have a cat and use housesitting sites to find house/pet sitters for my cat. I am a non-smokers, have excellent housesit & peronal references and excellent credit. I am prepared to pay my own expenses and utilize this site as an "exchange" only.

Excerpts from housesit references: "Janice is extremely responsible and easy to work with. I feel very confident placing our home and pets in her care and highly recommend her services to you." "Janice is more than capable to tackle the situations that arise in a housesit. We are very pleased with her judgement, reliability and consistency. We felt very good knowing that our animals (a golden retriever, english setter and our cat) were receiving a lot of love while we were away." "Upon our return, we found our house cleaner than when we had left! The outside plants had been taken care of despite the dry conditions. And of course our pets greeted us ‘warmly’, but it was abundantly clear they had been well looked after. I’m not sure if they would not have wanted Janice and Bill to stay longer. They didn’t seem anxious when we returned and were rather laid back about having us home again! I guess you can tell we were extremely pleased with the way our house and animals had been looked after in our absence and highly recommend Janice for either short or long stays.

I am available for a Facetime chat. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your housesitting needs with you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Why they want to house sit

I love traveling and living like a local. I love all kinds of animals and have cared for cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and chickens.

Their experience

Yes 20 years

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring a positive “can-do” attitude. I haven’t met an animal that didn’t like me. The shyest of animals warm up to me quickly. I correspond and send updates on a regular basis. Your home will be well cared for.
