Experienced Property Caretaker Available for Long-Term House Sits

About this sitter

Hello! My name is Joy, and I am a real estate broker, homeowner, mother, grandmother, and lifelong animal lover. I have extensive experience caring for homes, managing properties, and ensuring that everything is well maintained and secure while owners are away.
I am currently seeking house-sitting opportunities that are a good fit for both the homeowner and me. I am clean, responsible, respectful of others’ homes, and comfortable caring for pets, especially cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animals are receiving loving, attentive care while you travel.
My background in real estate and property management gives me a unique appreciation for home care. I am attentive to details, proactive if issues arise, and committed to treating every home as if it were my own.
I enjoy walking, reading, exploring local communities, and working remotely on my coaching and wellness business. My lifestyle is quiet, responsible, and well suited to caring for homes and pets.
I am looking for house sits ranging from a few days to several weeks and am open to a variety of locations. My goal is to provide homeowners with peace of mind while giving pets the care, companionship, and consistency they deserve.
I look forward to connecting and helping care for your home and beloved pets.

Why they want to house sit

I enjoy house sitting because it combines several things I genuinely value: caring for homes, caring for animals, and experiencing different communities in a meaningful way.

As a real estate professional and homeowner, I appreciate the responsibility that comes with caring for a property. I enjoy maintaining a home, keeping it secure, and making sure everything is well looked after while owners are away. I also love animals and understand how important it is for pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment rather than being boarded.

House sitting is a wonderful fit for my lifestyle because I work independently and have the flexibility to provide attentive care and companionship to pets while ensuring a homeowner’s property is treated with respect and care.

For me, house sitting is about providing peace of mind. I enjoy knowing that homeowners can travel confidently, knowing their home and beloved pets are in capable, caring hands.

Their experience

Yes. I have many years of experience as a homeowner, real estate broker, and property manager, which has given me a strong understanding of home care, maintenance, security, and attention to detail. Throughout my career, I have helped manage and oversee hundreds of properties, and I understand the importance of keeping a home safe, well maintained, and cared for while owners are away.

I am also an experienced pet owner and have cared for cats and dogs throughout my life. In addition, I have house sat for friends, including caring for their home and pets while they traveled. One recent house sit included caring for a pet bird and maintaining the home during their absence.

While I am newer to formal house-sitting platforms, I bring a lifetime of experience caring for homes, animals, and the responsibilities that come with them. Homeowners can trust that I will treat their property and pets with the same care and respect I would give my own.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring reliability, responsibility, and genuine care to every assignment. As a real estate broker, homeowner, and former property manager, I understand the importance of maintaining a home, being attentive to details, and addressing issues promptly if they arise.

I am dependable, organized, and respectful of other people’s homes and routines. I understand that homeowners are placing a great deal of trust in a house sitter, and I take that responsibility seriously.

I also bring a calm and caring presence for pets. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I know how important consistency, patience, and affection are while owners are away. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment.

In addition, I am flexible, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so homeowners can travel with confidence and peace of mind. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own.
