I have house and pet sat several times in US. One involved overseeing the renovations and decorating of a $2+Million vacation home on the Gulf coast of Florida. I recently sold my large home on 10 acres of 25 years in SW WA state. I have references, all high end homes with large dogs. I have raised chickens, small experience with goats and had a Golden Retriever, British Mastiff, and recently lost my Yellow Labrador. My friends describe me as outgoing and caring. I have traveled a lot throughout my adult life but would prefer longer stays to learn the language and experience other cultures more intimately. I am conscientious and would treat your home and animals as my own. I keep a tidy house.
