Hi fellow travelers! My name is Rasa Vitalia, a professional traveling artist, entertainer and business woman who has been house and pet sitting for over 15 years with love for travel, making friends, and all creatures great and small. Since 1999, I have dog, cat, plant, garden, house sat for many friends and clients in a variety of locations including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Mexico City and New York City. I have given medication in many forms and have taken pets for vet visits. Your home is my home. I care about the environment you live in and regard it as a sanctuary. In the responsibility of a proper pet sit, my number one priority is care, compassion and safety of my animals, giving them proper time, petting, cuddling, attention and love they deserve. I have experience caring for happy homes, gardens, cats, dogs, birds, and more and have given medications when needed. I do accept short term sits/overnight stays, but prefer as longer term as possible to allow for time to breathe, settle in and care for your pets. This is one of my main sources of establishing relationships and often times I need to fill in several gaps between sits. This brings peace of mind and serenity to your home. I work quietly from home on the computer and occasionally leave the house for shows. Due to the energetic nature of my business, I prefer a quiet home… no loud parties. I also do not drink, smoke, do drugs, etc.. as I am a health conscious athlete and vegetarian. I am a professional independent artist who travels around the world bringing the joy of the art of dance to birthdays, weddings, community, events and show productions. I enjoy house sitting because I get to have a friend at home while I travel and meet new people, pets and communities in an area. This is what helps the arts succeed and I applaud you for your support. I work as a world dancer, so the cross cultural exchange in this universal language is a beautiful way to share knowledge, connection and peace across the globe. Seeing smiles and sharing the joy of this art form is pure magic. I would love to have the opportunity to share the happiness with your pets and your community! It is has been a pleasure for me to have a loving companion at home on my journeys far away. World peace and paws is the perrrr-fect match! I would love to make your trip worry free! Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to your reply! I am connected on several forms of communication for ease of mind and return messages and calls quickly. References available upon request. When I leave the house my shows happen for about 3-4 hours so I am mostly at home. If there are dogs, I would like to know if you have a yard for quick bathroom breaks. I care for pets in your home. with overnight stays. Your pets will thank you for this as they will be happy to stay in a familiar environment.
