Soulful, Caring, Reliable House Sitter & Animal Lover

About this sitter

Heya! I’m a British woman in my early 40s, a friendly, grounded, capable soul with a slightly adventurous streak — and I’m happiest when life involves good animals, beautiful places, fresh air and a little bit of magic.

I’m an HR professional, life coach and yoga teacher, and I’m currently embracing a more flexible, digital-nomad way of life. I am a non-smoker and do not vape or drink alcohol, I lead a calm, responsible lifestyle. I love travelling, discovering new places, meeting interesting people and experiencing what it’s like to temporarily call somewhere else home. I also dabble in writing, so I’m perfectly happy with a quiet evening, a cup of tea and a notebook!

I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely enjoy caring for pets. I’m attentive, affectionate and respectful of their individual personalities and routines — whether that means a long walk, a run, a cuddle on the sofa, a game in the garden, or simply giving them some peaceful company... I’m also rather good at a pet massage 😄

I run regularly, so if your dog enjoys running, I’d be delighted to have a furry running buddy. Equally, I’m very happy with leisurely walks, sniffing expeditions and pottering around at a more dignified pace.

I’m also a keen gardener and genuinely enjoy getting my hands in the soil. If your garden or allotment needs a little love while you’re away, I’m very happy to water, weed, tend, plant, harvest and generally keep things flourishing. I actually find gardening wonderfully therapeutic.

I’m a very good cleaner... I’m naturally tidy, respectful of other people’s homes and like to leave a place at least as lovely as I found it. I understand that your home is your sanctuary, and I treat it accordingly.

I’m looking for house sits where I can feel at home while giving your home, pets and garden plenty of love and attention.

I love discovering new places, meeting animals and experiencing life in different communities. House sitting gives me the freedom to travel while doing something I genuinely enjoy — caring for animals and beautiful homes.

I’m particularly happy with sits involving a variety of animals, gardens or allotments, and I’m very happy to get stuck in and help. Ultimately, I want you to go away knowing everything is safe, cared for, clean and happy — and come home to happy pets and a flourishing garden 🌿🐾✨

Why they want to house sit

I want to house sit because I love the feeling of temporarily calling somewhere new “home” — discovering different places, meeting wonderful animals and becoming part of a local community, even if only for a little while.

I’m embracing a more flexible, digital-nomad lifestyle, and house sitting feels like the perfect combination of travel, freedom and purpose. It allows me to explore new places while giving something meaningful in return: caring for someone’s home and beloved pets with genuine love and attention.

And honestly, I’d much rather wake up with a dog at my feet, a garden to potter around in and somewhere beautiful to explore than spend my life staring at the same four walls!

Their experience

I am experienced in house sitting and pet care. I’ve completed a variety of sits and have looked after a wide range of animals including horses, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, rats, snakes, and birds. I’m confident and comfortable adapting to different homes, routines, and animal needs, and I always take pride in caring for each home as if it were my own.

In addition to house sitting, I used to work as an au pair for two families, where I looked after their children as well as their pets, so I’m very used to being responsible, trustworthy, and hands-on in a family environment. I’ve also done gardening and general household tasks, so I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly while homeowners are away.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring a combination of practical competence, emotional intelligence and genuine care. I’m organised, responsible and adaptable, but I also understand that every home and every animal has its own little ecosystem — and I’m very happy to learn the rhythm of yours.

As an HR professional, life coach and yoga teacher, I’m a strong communicator and a good listener. I’m reliable about keeping in touch and will happily send regular updates, photos and messages so you can relax knowing everything is well.

I’m also flexible and able to adapt when plans change — because life, like pets, occasionally refuses to follow the timetable!

I’m experienced with animals, enjoy cooking, yoga, gardening and running, and take pride in keeping a home clean, peaceful and well cared for. I’m attentive to the small things, from noticing when a pet is behaving differently to making sure the plants haven't staged a rebellion while you're away.

Most importantly, I bring presence and heart. I don’t see house sitting simply as occupying a property; I see it as being entrusted with someone’s little world. I respect that trust and genuinely enjoy caring for it.

My aim is simple: for you to go away feeling completely reassured, and come home to happy animals, a cared-for home and perhaps even some thriving plants.
