Caring and responsible remote working globetrotter - love animals!

About this sitter

I am Mayu, recently I have found my way to work remotely in the IT sector - which I love as it challenges me to keep learning on a daily basis and fulfills my desire to stay curious and being able to wander.

Restless mind, I have plenty of interests and I consider myself handy and resourceful. I have lived independently and off the beaten path, growing my garden and vegetables and doing all kinds of construction and manual works. I am into healthy and sustainable lifestyle, non-smoker and vegetarian.

I enjoy tranquility, nature, reading, yoga, biking, hikes, outdoor sports and country side living. And of course, I love animals and spending time with them. I live with a rescued dog and two foster cats I adore - we are 5 in our country house so they are taken good care of while I am away ;)
Update: we have a new baby cat with us!

Why they want to house sit

I love getting to know different places around the world, enjoying some personal time for concentrating in my projects and breaking up the routine.

House sitting for longer periods makes more sense to me if I am going to travel far distances, and I also believe it is a way of not contributing to the touristification of places while promoting trust-based exchange relationships.

Their experience

I recently had an awesome first experience in this site. Before that, I already was experienced in taking care of someone else's place, project and dear animals- and building carefully a new relation with them!

I share house with them but have also dog and cat sited several times my friends' companions too, we take care of my neighbor's chicken when he is away and I do volunteer in animal shelters from time to time when i have the chance to be away of my busy routine.

I have been traveling with Workaway and Couchsurfing altruistic style for many years, which led me to farm routines and animal care and garden tending, and to longer stays in exchange for taking care of the house and volunteering/working seasonally abroad.

What can they bring to the assignment

Commitment, responsibility, good communication and energy, empathy and sweetness.
100% trustworthy, clean and tidy, respectful, proactive and flexible.
I drive and depending on distances could also bring a vehicle.

I am aware I don't have references yet and I am willing to provide further information and ways of reassurance if you could consider meeting me. I am open to many possibilities and hope you give me the chance to start building trust on this platform :) Thanks!
