I am a mature and very trustworthy individual who connects easily with both people and animals! I welcome adventure, challenges and responsibility and believe that combining travel with house sitting provides me with that perfect combination. I enjoy an active lifestyle that includes regular exercise. After being a homeowner and landlord myself for many years in Canada I absolutely appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home, property and pets are well taken care of. I am a very conscientious individual who takes pride in delivering required results - and providing that peace of mind! I am an experienced home owner and have also had a rental property that I managed for years. I fully understand the importance and requirement of consistent and quality maintenance on a property to ensure the longevity of your investment. I also have a personal passion for gardening and landscaping as well. I have years of management experience in Human Resources and retail operations. This has provided me the platform to develop many interpersonal, business and organizational skills that serve me well today. I am an experienced property owner and rental suite manager. I have had pets all my life, and also volunteer with animal rescue and education groups in Canada and Costa Rica. I am currently learning Spanish and am loving the new experience of another language.
