About this sitter

Living high in the Himalayas of northern India, teaching young Buddhist monks and nuns and providing teacher training as well, I am taking a break to wander the world and meet new animal and human friends! I am a mature confident and compassionate woman who has lived and traveled in over 60 countries alone.

I cannot have animals of my own because I have to leave every six months for the visa and I am hungry to be with Animals..It is as if a part of me is unfulfilled/incompleteand the only way I get it is through housesitting and caring for animals. I have references for many Housesits on different platforms if you need.

I am also happy to care for your plants or gardens or other things that need attention while you were gone. Rural is preferable and along an ocean would be a dream after coming off the high, dry Tibetan Plateau.

Why they want to house sit

I miss having animals around me, snuggling, hanging out, playing and exploring together, I have a deep connection to animals and am a vegetarian as I wish no harm to any living creature. I am very sensitive to their needs and moods and health, Because i must leave my home every 6 months because of the change in visa laws, I cannot have my own pet. And I so miss loving animals. Some of my best friends around the world are animals I have sat during previous housesits. I love to have gardens to care for, a comfortable chair to sit on (In India, it’s only a cushion on the floor everywhere), a hot shower instead of a bucket bath, a variety of fresh foods available, but mostly I am a world explorer. I need to connect with new animal personalities, people and new cultures regularly. I believe we all have so much to share, teach, and learn.

As a homeowner myself, It is also important to me that I provide a service to others as I know how it is to leave one's home, beloved animals, flora, and fauna to others. I am a trustworthy, honest, compassionate, responsible, resourceful, happy person that gives 100%.

Their experience

Yes, very experienced as I have lived in many, many countries and house sat both long term and short term on farms, islands, mountain tops, etc. I have reviews on Trusted Housesitters, Housecarers, and other platforms and can provide numerous references. People know they can relax and trust me and it is a gift for me to be able to live in and care for their homes. I have become lifelong friends with so many homeowners. It is a wonderful gift of exchange. I also have house sitters in my home here in Ladakh too so I know both sides. I have done dog training, sat for horses, cows, chickens, birds, reptiles, dogs, cats , goats, pigs, etc.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am an animal lover and was raised on a farm, so I can milk goats, chop wood, garden, train dogs, exercise horses, etc. I raised a baby bird from infancy to adulthood, a young fawn bottle fed and lived near wood stove until ready to rejoin her herd, many, many animal experiences.

I always leave a place better than I find it (Don't worry, that does not mean I rearrange you home), am happy and willing to do projects, and will have constant reliable communication with you so that you can do what you need with no worries about your home and animal family.
