Patricia from Vashon Island

About this sitter

I have recently retired and I live on Vashon Island, near Seattle, Washington. I have visited Italy at least once a year for the past 20+ years. I’ve been a passionate gardener for 30 years and walking, cooking and reading are some of my other interests. I have been an AirBnB host for the past three years.

Why they want to house sit

I love immersing myself in every day life in other cultures and I pride myself on my responsible and ethical nature. We lived abroad when I was growing up and my parents instilled in their children the importance of adding value in whatever you do—to be a “mini diplomat for your home country.”

Their experience

I have had many experiences in house-sitting.

What can they bring to the assignment

Responsibility, cleanliness, passionate about the environment and reducing waste and respect for resources and conservation. I love to garden and have 30 years of experience with both flower and vegetable gardening.
