Animals have been a gift in my life in so many different ways. I've had cats and dogs of my own throughout the years but none presently who live with me, but I do miss them so! I worked in animal care and adoptions at a Humane Society for half a decade and I've worked as a Veterinary Technician at a clinic for a few years as well. I've been intermittently house sitting on and off since I was in my teens (20 years ago!). I've come to see a lot of different homes and learn about their particular needs over the years, and have learned to communicate clearly and ask questions about expectations and what not. It can be an intimate experience living in someones home and caring for their beloved four leggeds and taking them on as your own. House sitting feels much more than just a gig to me, it's truly stepping into the world of the people I'm sitting for and learning how to love and care for their beings, belongings, plants, kitchen things, neighbors, appliances, etc. I do love a good woodstove or fireplace and nothing beats a snuggled up animal by a warm fire with tea.
