Hello, I'm Seeley! I grew up in upstate New York, traveled a bit in the States, studied abroad in Poland, and then lived in a variety of households around Oakland and Berkeley, CA from the late Nineties till January '15. I've been a master tenant on a few leases and with opening and closing duties for years in a few storefront jobs. I'm responsible and a good communicator, like to keep a tidy home, and experienced living with and helping to take care of cats, dogs, and chickens and ducks a bit too. I house and pet sat several times in the Bay Area over the years, now have several references from Housecarers attached to this profile, and in August '17 repeated a cat sit in Montreal first done in winter. From January to June 2015 I explored life in the Puget Sound area, and would enjoy sitting opportunities in Vancouver. Other locations of interest include Ontario within reach of Toronto and Ottawa, Quebec in and near Montreal, around New England, and the upper Midwest around Chicago and the Twin Cities.
I am non-smoking, mostly vegetarian, conservation-oriented and mindful about minimizing utility use and cleaning with non-toxic products. I prefer bicycling for transport but am able to drive (prefer automatic transmission, have some experience with standard). A practicing writer, I'm experienced with urban settings, but also interested in exploring towns with public transit connection to urban centers. I've been accepted to a graduate program starting in Montreal this fall, so during the school year I can only sit in Montreal--but I'll make trips to Ottawa and Toronto too, and could likely sit in upstate or New York City at winter holidays. Available via phone (not texts) or to have a virtual meeting via Skyp, I look forward to discussing housesitting prospects with you!
