Hello housesitting community!I am a licensed massage therapist and food industry professional. I have been house/petsitting since I was a teenager; first with my mom (an elementary school teacher), and later on taking sits alone, with my sister, or sometimes with a friend. I have loved and looked after animals and houses in the United States, as well as in several countries in Europe, ranging from the regular dogs and cats, to farms full of animals! I have extensive experience with elderly and special needs pets.I am often asked back to pet/housesit, returning to some of the same places for years and developing lasting friendships. I love gardening, hiking, reading and obviously, traveling. read more

Greetings! We know what it’s like to have a home, pets and land and to need someone to look after it as well as we would ourselves. That’s what brought us to this site to begin with, as hosts. We’ve lived on a small off-grid island in the South Pacific for the last 9 years and built it up from scratch into a thriving resort, with multiple bungalows, a main-house, boats and lots of landscaping. Before that we lived on our 42’ sailboat for 8 years, sailing through the Pacific, and prior to that we lived in the East Bay Area of the city of San Francisco, where we originally hail from. We’ve experienced numerous and varied life-styles and living situations in our 19 years together and we have come to know what homeowners need in a valuable house-sitter. Beginning in early 2020 we will have managers tending our island retreat. That will free up our time and so we are ready to again follow our traveler’s hearts, seeking adventure and to see some more of this b... read more

I'm a financial planner in my 50's who works remotely from home (all I need is my cell phone and wi-fi to work). I'm a responsible person and people trust me with their retirement nest eggs, and you can trust me with your home and pets! I would like to travel more and explore the country. House and pet sitting is much more satisfying than staying in a hotel, and I hope you'll consider my application seriously. I can provide references if needed. Thanks for considering me! read more

My passion for working with others easily transfers to caring for belived pets and farm animals. I grew up in a family-owned hardware store in the Midwest, the Heartland.
