About this sitter

Hello! My name is Nanda, and I’m from Ontario, Canada. I’m a mature, responsible, caring professional with a background in business management, property management, HR, hospitality, and animal care. I currently co-manage businesses, operate a successful Airbnb property called The Lofty Nest, and recently launched WellNest Home & Pet Care, offering trusted home and pet sitting services.

I’m a calm, respectful, non-smoking sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for homes, gardens, and animals. I especially love cats and dogs, but I’m comfortable with many types of pets and understand how important routines, patience, and affection are while owners are away.

I’m looking for sits where homeowners value reliability, communication, cleanliness, and genuine care for their pets and home. I enjoy both countryside and city locations and love experiencing local communities in an authentic way. Long walks, quiet evenings, pets, music, and exploring local culture are all things I enjoy.

I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Being of Dutch heritage means that I have a high standard of cleanliness, care and am a transparent and authentic person.

Why they want to house sit

House sitting combines many things I naturally love which includes caring for animals, maintaining a peaceful and organized home, meeting wonderful people, and experiencing different parts of the world in a more meaningful and personal way than traditional travel.

At this stage of my life, I’m intentionally creating more flexibility and balance, transitioning away from full-time business leadership into work and experiences that are more personal and fulfilling. House sitting allows me to combine my love of travel, hospitality, caregiving, and home management in a way that feels very natural to me.

I also understand firsthand how much trust homeowners place in a sitter. As an Airbnb host and property owner myself, I know the peace of mind that comes from knowing your home and pets are truly being cared for and not just “watched.”

Their experience

Yes, very much so!

I have many years of hands-on experience caring for homes, properties, pets, and people. My experience includes:

• Operating and managing an Airbnb property
• Home and property management
• Pet care for cats and dogs
• Animal health training and veterinary clinic experience
• Former dog grooming experience
• Experience caring for homes while owners travel
• Coordinating housing and support services for others
• Managing maintenance issues calmly and responsibly

I’m highly organized, dependable, and proactive. I communicate well, follow instructions carefully, and understand the importance of cleanliness, routines, security, and respecting someone’s personal space and belongings.

I’m also comfortable handling pet medications, plant care, mail collection, basic troubleshooting, and keeping a home running smoothly while owners are away.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring maturity, trustworthiness, warmth, and genuine care.

Homeowners can expect someone who:
• Keeps a home clean, tidy, and secure
• Provides loving and attentive pet care
• Communicates regularly with updates and photos
• Notices problems early and handles situations calmly
• Respects routines and follows instructions carefully
• Understands hospitality and guest/homeowner expectations
• Has strong organizational and people skills
• Is dependable, resourceful, and easy to communicate with

I also bring a calm energy that animals often respond very well to. Friends and clients frequently describe me as compassionate, grounded, reliable, and easy to trust.

For me, house sitting is not simply accommodation, it’s a responsibility and relationship I take seriously.
