Experienced Global House Sitter: responsible, quiet and clean

About this sitter

I’m 34, a writer originally from Scotland, though I spent much of my childhood in Italy and my 20s living and working across the Middle East. I have a Master’s degree in Linguistics and ran a successful food business for four years.

I’m independent, respectful of others’ spaces and deeply value quiet, well-kept environments—ideal for both writing and reflection. I’m currently looking for house sits that offer a peaceful setting where I can focus on my projects while ensuring your home is looked after with care and attention.

International experience has made me adaptable and culturally sensitive, and I bring a calm, grounded presence to any home I care for.

Why they want to house sit

I enjoy house sitting because it allows me to travel in a more grounded, meaningful way—experiencing places from a local perspective rather than as a tourist. I appreciate the balance of caring for someone’s home while having the quiet and stability to focus on my writing. It’s a wonderful way to explore new locations while offering something valuable in return.

Their experience

Yes, I’m an experienced house sitter and dog sitter. Over the years, I’ve looked after a variety of homes and have cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m reliable, respectful, and take pride in maintaining a calm, secure environment while homeowners are away.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring a calm, dependable presence and a genuine respect for other people’s spaces. With my international background and experience running a business, I’m highly organised and self-sufficient. I’m also tidy, communicative and attentive to detail — whether that’s keeping things clean, watering plants or ensuring everything runs smoothly in your absence. Most importantly, I treat every home as if it were my own.
