INTRODUCTION
With an emerald green thumb and an immense love for animals large and small, I have found house and pet sitting a natural lifestyle fit. An artist by trade, I have flexibility and can take temporary root in a diverse range of locations in the US and abroad. I am grateful to work unrestricted by postal code. As a responsible, trustworthy, and compassionate human being, I take tremendous pride caring for what others hold close to their hearts albeit their homes, plants, or animal children.
WHY I WANT TO HOUSESIT
Travel is what sparks the imagination and keeps the creative juices flowing. Change of scenery is essential to my livelihood as an artist, photographer, and writer.

Currently I am on a four month assignment as caretaker of a waterfront home (through housecarers) which includes upkeep of four acres of property, an exotic plant filled greenhouse, and providing care for three kitties on a complicated daily regimen of food and medication.
