I'm an animal-loving freelance writer/editor in my 50s who thoroughly enjoys housesitting and petsitting.
Having spent far too many years of my life in offices - housesitting and petsitting offer an ideal and rewarding lifestyle.
I don’t currently have pets of my own, which makes pet-sitting a joy as I travel to different locales.
I am happy to accept reverse charge phone calls and I can travel for interviews.
I enjoy helping people feel secure and making new animal friends while exploring the world.
I am experienced, meticulous, reliable, trustworthy, quiet, tidy, friendly, non-smoking, and excellent with dogs and cats. I'm also happy to work with reptiles and birds.
As a housesitter my maxim is 'leave no trace' - I excel at leaving homes just as I found them - or tidier.
With pets, I have yet to petsit one who didn't love spending time with me - and I with them.
Having hired both petsitters and housesitters in the past, I understand the level of trust needed to allow a person to care for your pets and home.
I enjoy dog training and get a great deal of satisfaction from working with dogs at all training levels.
I would be happy to help you feel secure, and your pets feel loved, happy, and safe, during your time away from home.
