About this sitter

I am an experienced and adventurous woman, born and raised in London, with deep family roots in the U.S. Throughout my life, I have embarked on numerous journeys, both for work and personal enrichment, immersing myself in diverse cultures and communities around the globe.

I have a UK driving license for automatic gears and I follow a gluten, dairy and meat-free diet, as much as possible.

Coming from a family that cherishes animals, I discovered a passion for caring for others' beloved pets when I left London to explore the world in 2005. Upon returning to Cambridge in 2007, I had the privilege of working for esteemed individuals, including directors of the University of Cambridge, a Member of Parliament, and even managing events for a magnificent stately home.

The global economic downturn in 2008 prompted me to reevaluate my path, leading me back to education. In this pursuit, I successfully completed a BA (Hons) in Writing at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. Fueling my thirst for knowledge and adventure, I embarked on further international travels and engaged in fulfilling housesitting opportunities until 2016. It was during this time that I relocated to Vancouver to undertake an MFA in Creative Writing, expanding my skills and honing my passion.

Returning to the UK in 2018, I embarked on a new chapter of exploration, venturing into regions previously unknown to me. The experience was incredibly rewarding, not only for the breathtaking landscapes but also for the friendships forged along the way. I embraced the opportunity to immerse myself in different communities and absorb the rich tapestry of cultures.

Why they want to house sit

Apart from my genuine affection for animals, housesitting appeals to me for several reasons. Firstly, I have an insatiable curiosity and a deep desire to explore new places. I find immense joy in immersing myself in unfamiliar surroundings, uncovering hidden gems, and embracing the unique experiences each location has to offer. Whether it's strolling through picturesque neighborhoods or embarking on adventurous hikes, I cherish the opportunity to discover the beauty of different landscapes.

Additionally, housesitting provides me with the perfect environment to indulge in my passions for walking, cooking, and writing. These activities, which I often enjoy in solitude, allow me to connect with my inner self and find inspiration. The tranquil and peaceful ambiance of a home, coupled with the companionship of animals, creates an ideal setting for my creative endeavors. There's something incredibly soothing about the presence of animals that fosters a sense of contentment and enables me to delve deeper into my writing.

Moreover, one of the highlights of housesitting is the chance to meet a diverse array of individuals. Each homeowner brings their unique perspective, stories, and experiences into my life, broadening my understanding of the world. The opportunity to engage with different people and forge connections is an enriching aspect of housesitting that I genuinely appreciate.

In essence, housesitting combines my love for animals, passion for exploration, and the perfect environment for my creative pursuits. It allows me to embark on solitary activities that bring me immense joy while also providing opportunities to connect with people who share a similar love for animals and a nurturing environment for my writing.
