Retired house sitter

About this sitter

Hi, I am a retired IT professional. I grew up near the ocean, and farmland, and I like the idea of house sits that are out in nature.

Why they want to house sit

I have the time to commit to house sitting, and I know it can be a huge help for people who need someone they can trust to look after what they care about.

Their experience

Since 2019, I have been travelling and volunteering, most recently with the Workaway program. I stayed at people's houses, and for room and board, helped them with various needs, including gardening, house sitting while they were away, looking after the pets, and for one, I was a stand-in parent for a year and a half.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am easy-going, generally good natured person, who likes to make sure things are done right. When I go camping, I like to adhere to 'leave no trace'. I like clear communication and expectations, and mutual consideration and respect.
