Friendly, Responsible & Caring - Here for your Home-Sitting, Dog Walking & Pet-Caring peace of mind & needs! I am a 44 year old, professional female, with my own location-free business. My life and lifestyle means that I can be anywhere in the world, and take breaks whenever I can and choose. I love adventure, am used to adapting to new people and situations (I lived abroad for 16 years!), and love new experiences. :) I returned to the US, after having lived abroad since Feb 2002 - and spending close to 4 1/2 years travelling around Europe, the US and UK, primarily while house and pet-sitting for home owners and their families. I am here to help you - to give you assurance and peace of mind as YOU travel and experience new things, too! I am here to be of service as you vacation and time away! (**A quick note to please ensure you let me know any house rules at the start of each house sit position - I will remember to ask as well! - to save any potential misunderstandings that could lead to difficulties :) ) Any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know and get in touch. I thank you for your time and look forward to being a part of your home and pet-sitting needs! Why I want to house sit I have been home and pet sitting more and more, and love every single new experience and opportunity that comes. I love the chance to see new and interesting places, as well as have city adventures near where I already live when those arrive also. I love the flexibility and chance to be of help and support to beautiful people (like you!) as well as their pets if they have any. (I am allergic to cats, so will consider assignments with cats on a case by case basis - I can take allergy medicine as needed. I'm very happy to pet-sit and care for most animals during assignments - having grown up with family dogs, I also greatly miss having my own!) I am lucky in that my work affords me the time and flexibility to travel more, also, which means house-sitting and pet-sitting is a perfect accompaniment to it all. Anything I can do to also help YOU with peace of mind and assurance, so that you can just enjoy yourself and RELAX :) while you are away means the world. It's a win-win, for all of us and both sides, really! My experience Having grown up with pets I also miss not having my own - I look forward to being a caring friend and caregiver to yours, if you have them, while you are away at work, vacation or during the day. I regularly take on dog walking opportunities, for instance, and am very happy to assist with health care, medicine and so on if they need anything continued while you are away. (I also have dog obedience experience, and so am very happy to continue up any routine you have for the animal's consistency.) I am additionally very happy to help with any light household duties or gardening needs, so you can rest easily knowing those will also be taken care of for you. I have some Spanish and French speaking skills, and also greatly love the opportunity to test and strengthen my language knowledge. Therefore, non-English speaking locations will not be a problem for me, and I welcome and get excited with the opportunity when available! A responsive and responsible person, I am also very happy to give regular updates if you'd like, on how things are going and/or if there is anything that comes up that needs your notice - such as bills or any important phone calls and so on. I am a regular dog-walker, and have also house-sit more and more, so am very happy to assist with references should you like any. When house and pet-sitting, I am able to give pets bathroom breaks as often as the owners wish. I have put in that I can do so every 0-2 hours, however I am happy to amend this to whatever you rather! I greatly appreciate your time, attention and consideration of me with and for your house and pet-sitting needs, and am here to help should you have any thoughts or questions you'd like help with. Thank you!! :)
