About this sitter

Hello! I’m a compassionate, organized, and dedicated individual with a deep love for animals and a keen interest in exploring new places. I’m currently staying in France while my boyfriend teaches English, and I’m looking for house-sitting opportunities throughout Europe. This is a wonderful way for me to experience different cultures and environments, as I’m eager to learn more about where and how I’d like to live in the future.

I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I have a particular affinity for spending time in nature. Whether it’s tending to a garden, taking a dog for a walk, or just enjoying the outdoors, I’m happiest when I’m close to nature. I’m also open to taking care of farm animals, provided clear instructions are given. Ultimately, I’m easygoing regarding the location - whether it’s a quiet countryside or closer to a bustling city, I’m adaptable and excited to embrace the experience.

Why they want to house sit

House sitting allows me to immerse myself in different environments, something that deeply appeals to me as I’m still exploring the kind of lifestyle that suits me best. I’ve always had a strong connection with animals, stemming from my childhood spent on a farm with a lovable dog named Max. I remember how Max would climb trees with me, and how just being around animals like him brought immense joy and comfort. Similarly, my cat Walter, who isn’t usually a lap cat, spent an entire week by my side when I was recovering from surgery, reminding me of how intuitive and caring animals can be.

I understand the importance of finding reliable care for pets while you’re away, and I would love to be that trusted person for you. My goal is to ensure that both your home and your pets are well taken care of, giving you peace of mind during your travels.

Their experience

While my house-sitting experience has mostly been for family, I’ve had the opportunity to take care of homes with dogs, cats, and gardens for extended periods. I’ve always followed the homeowners’ instructions to a T, ensuring that pets received their medication, care, and attention as needed. I’ve been told that I leave homes in even better condition than I found them, and that the pets are always happy and calm upon their owners’ return.

In addition to my house-sitting experience, I have a background in childcare, which has further honed my ability to handle high-responsibility tasks and unexpected situations with care and patience. I’m confident in my ability to manage a home and care for pets, no matter what comes up.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring a strong attention to detail and a commitment to following instructions precisely. I understand that your home and pets are incredibly important to you, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dedicated to providing regular updates and photos to keep you connected with your home and pets, ensuring your peace of mind while you’re away.

I’m also happy to take on additional tasks like gardening or light housework to keep your home in top shape. My goal is to exceed your expectations and make your time away as stress-free as possible.
