Two besties looking for a house/pet to take care of around NYC! (2-3 weeks)

About this sitter

Hi! I’m Alicia, a 26-year-old from Valencia, juggling life as a Spanish and English teacher, voice actress, and professional caregiver for kids and pets. One of my favorite things is house sitting—it’s the perfect way to explore new places in a more personal and unconventional way. I love taking care of homes and pets while getting to experience life from a fresh perspective. Whether I’m teaching, recording, or meeting new friends, I’m always up for the next adventure!

Why they want to house sit

I love house sitting because it’s so much more than just looking after homes and pets—it’s an opportunity to travel in a unique and meaningful way. Instead of staying in hotels or following a touristy path, I get to experience places from a local’s perspective. I enjoy the trust and connection that come with caring for someone’s home and beloved animals, and it’s incredibly rewarding to provide peace of mind while they’re away. Plus, every house sitting experience feels super different and I love that!

Their experience

I’m new to MindMyHouse, but I do have some experience with similar house-sitting platforms. On top of that, I’ve gained a lot of experience as a local pet and child caregiver over the years. I’ve loved working with families and making sure their loved ones are happy and well-cared for. While I may be starting fresh here, my skills and dedication are anything but new!

What can they bring to the assignment

I believe I can bring so much to a house-sitting experience! For families with kids, I can share my skills as a Spanish and Catalan teacher, introduce fun games and activities inspired by my background in theater and improvisation, and tell endless stories to keep them entertained. For furry family members, I offer plenty of love, playful energy, and attentive care tailored to their needs.

As a very clean, organized, and responsible person, I can promise to leave your home even tidier than I found it. I’ve been living on my own since I was 18, so I’m used to managing a household with care and efficiency. Whether it’s looking after your little ones, your pets, or your home, I’ll do my best to ensure everything is safe, happy, and thriving while you’re away!
