Yes, I am still in business (July 2021)!
Yes, I am coming out to your location within the US (all 50 states plus territories)!
Due to the current situation I have lots of availability, as most of my previously booked assignments for 2020 and 2021 have been canceled. But that might be your chance!
If you want to re-plan your postponed trips, or if your previously chosen sitter cancels on you, contact me!
A bit about me and my housesitting history:
During the crippling Mid Atlantic Blizzard of January 2016 I was on a small island in the Chesapeake Bay (thus right in the middle of the storm) with chickens and a cat. Those who could leave have left before the storm, I stayed. Everyone survived, including all furry and feathered household members.
I am a middle-aged (57) female with long experience in care for dogs (since '75) and cats (since '83), that includes extensive experiences with rescues. I have been doing house/pet sittings in Germany since the late 80s, and have picked it up again in the US 6 years ago. I am glad I did, because it is so rewarding. Meanwhile I am having repeat clients already who are booking their trips around my schedule.
I have a genuine love for animals, and they know that, because they love me right back. It is really easy for me to quickly bond with cats, dogs, birds (incl. chickens, geese, ducks, parakeets), rabbits, turtles, horses, cows, even deer, or whatever animals that are in need of care.
I am clean, quiet and organized, completely reliable and absolutely dependable. I will never cancel or quit once committed. Of course I am not smoking nor drinking, not partying or taking drugs or pills or whatever weird substances. I have been a vegetarian since 1984.
I am respectful and well mannered, have never had any accidents with any pets, never any emergencies, and no pet has ever escaped in my care. I am really responsible and have *stellar* references to share in case you'd be interested (all from house/pet sittings within the US).
I will also help you on a very short notice when you have an emergency (as long as I am available). I have actually boarded a plane for an assignment across the country with a 12-hour-notice once in 2015, and in 2018 I cancelled my flight home the day before the trip when I was asked to take care of an elderly dog in San Diego instead.
In 2019 I got an emergency call for 2 cats in Brooklyn, I was on location within hours. And most recently (March '20) I went to South Carolina for 2 pitbulls and a cat within 3 days of the owners reaching out. So I guess I can say I am really very flexible.
- Available in all 50 states (USA) and US territories.

Please note: I am not looking for profit. I am never charging for my housesitting and pet care, as love is always free and can never be bought. But I'll need the actual costs covered to get to your home and live there (Amtrak*, airfare*, groceries).
* for Philadelphia and NYC homes it takes only a bus ticket at this time (until further notice), contact me for details!
