Warm & Responsible Family Care for Your Home and Pets

About this sitter

I’m LaMisha — a former law enforcement officer, full-time mom, and part-time adventurer at heart. I’m currently in a life transition, preparing for a travel sabbatical with my 9-year-old daughter, October. As we move out of our home at the end of May, we’re looking for local house sits in the Sacramento area to bridge the gap before our journey begins.

I’m clean, respectful, and take pride in caring for spaces as if they were my own. I’ve worked as a nanny and babysitter, often with pet care included, and we’ve also had pets of our own. October is gentle, well-behaved, and absolutely adores animals — especially dogs! Since we can’t have a pet while traveling, house sitting gives us the beautiful chance to care for animals with love and attention.

We’re looking for peaceful, family-friendly homes where we can provide companionship for your pets, water your plants, and keep everything running smoothly while you’re away. We’re especially drawn to sits that are near parks or have outdoor space, and we’re happy to follow your home routines to the letter.

Ultimately, we’re here to help and bring a little peace of mind while you're away.

Why they want to house sit

House sitting is the perfect fit for this season of life. I'm transitioning out of my home and preparing to travel abroad with my daughter, so I'm looking for peaceful, short-term stays where we can live simply while helping others. It allows us to reduce our expenses, ease into a slower lifestyle, and offer real value in return by caring for homes and pets with love and attention.

As a mom, house sitting also gives my daughter a safe and nurturing environment — she loves animals and sees each sit as a new adventure. We treat every space with respect and genuinely enjoy helping others feel at ease while they're away. For us, house sitting is more than a temporary stay — it's a way to connect, serve, and make meaningful use of our in-between time.

Their experience

Yes, I bring both personal and professional experience to housesitting. I’ve worked as a nanny and babysitter for families with pets, where I was trusted to manage households, stick to routines, and care for animals as part of my daily duties. I've also helped care for family homes during travel and assisted friends with their pets and plants during long vacations.

We’ve had our own pets over the years — especially rabbits — and our extended family has several dogs, so caring for animals is second nature. I’m very comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping a tidy, secure environment. My daughter is gentle, kind, and always eager to help with feeding, walking, or simply keeping pets company.

While I’m newer to formal house sitting platforms, I bring years of hands-on experience, and I treat every sit with the same care and respect I would expect for my own home.

What can they bring to the assignment

I bring peace of mind.

As a former law enforcement officer and a mother, I understand the importance of trust, safety, and consistency. I’m highly responsible, detail-oriented, and committed to maintaining your home with the same care I give my own. I’m calm under pressure, respectful of your space, and excellent at following instructions.

You’ll return to a clean, well-cared-for home — with happy pets and thriving plants.

My daughter and I offer a nurturing energy, especially for pets who enjoy companionship and gentle interaction. She’s thoughtful, curious, and enjoys helping with daily pet routines.
