Will Love Like My Own

About this sitter

If you are looking for a long term sit for work or leisure travel, I am a great fit! I am available for 1-2 year terms.

I am retired from my career as a probation officer. Since retirement, I enjoy living a minimalist lifestyle. I love the outdoors and am quite active in many pursuits including but not limited to skiing (nordic/alpine), bicycling (year round), kayaking, yoga, and camping/backpacking. I have lived in the Twin Cities area for 40 years, raising my 2 children to become successful adults. I love traveling and pursue that passion whenever my schedule and budget allow. I now work PT as an event security officer to supplement my travel fund. I love animals and would be happy to care for your fur baby(ies)! I hate the thought of a pet being boarded as I know just being away from "mom and dad" is stressful enough let alone going to a new environment. So I am passionate about helping pet owners enjoy their time away from home with the peace of mind that their pet will be loved up and well cared for. I know how important that was to me when I had to leave my animals home while I traveled.

As a homeowner in the past, and as a single mom, I can handle most odd jobs that come up in your home but most importantly I will have a keen, trained eye on issues as they arise. I am neat, clean, organized, trustworthy, dependable and have great time management skills. I love to mow, shovel/snow blow, and I am willing to do small landscaping projects that match my skill level should that be required. I guarantee your home to be loved and cared for as if it were my own!

I have done house and pet sitting for several people via private referrals. I can provide direct contact information for references upon request.

I look forward to connecting with you to see how we can best support each other's mutual interests.

Why they want to house sit

Because I know it is helpful to home and/or pet owner to have a reliable trustworthy person to care for things while they are away. I am that person!

Their experience

Yes! Many of my friends and family have benefitted from my expericence of loving animals and being generous with my care and support of their home while they were away. Referrals provided upon request.

What can they bring to the assignment

Passion for and a deep understanding of animals. A desire to live in a clean, organized and peaceful environment. I will care for your property and pets as if they were my own. Your critter will be asking "when is Auntie Raven coming back?"
