About this sitter
I retired in July 2024 from Ferris State University, and I have had my sights on MindMyHouse for some time now. I am looking forward to the opportunities it will provide for me to travel to and between house sitting gigs around North America and the rest of the world, while also spending time with lovely family pets.
Why they want to house sit
House sitting will provide me opportunities to travel the world by providing places to stay in areas that I am interested in exploring.
Their experience
I have been a home owner for 26 years, and prior to owning, I was a renter for 20 years. I am a sesoned traveler staying in hotels, airbnb's, and my motorhome. I know how to take care of my property as well as the property of others. I have had pets all of my life, and my house plants tend to thrive causing me to have way too many for my downsized home.
What can they bring to the assignment
I am a very clean, tidy, and organized person. I love animals and I'm very good with plants indoors and outside. I have extensive home improvement experience, from many kinds of painting, stripping and hanging wallpaper, to demolition and full remodels of bathrooms and kitchens, including minor electrical and plumbing. I also maintain and improve my property and landscaping. I might be willing to take on a project during my stay.

Testimonials
Highly recommend Shannon!
We highly recommend Shannon as a thoughtful, caring, responsible and very competent house + pet sitter. She took fantastic care of our 2 cats and 1 dog while we were away for 10 days. It gave us much peace of mind that they were comfortable at home and well looked after. Shannon is a great communicator and you will find she is very receptive to any particular instructions you may have. She was so helpful as we navigated a potential travel delay coming home - above and beyond service. We returned home to happy pets and a spotless house. Thank you for being so generous with your time and talents, Shannon! We hope to welcome you again, whenever it works for you - come back anytime! To all looking for a house sitter - hire Shannon, you will not find one better!
