																		 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

																		 Hello, I live in Boulder, Colorado. This morning I went on a trail run close to my home--I love being active and have pet-sat many friend's dogs who required daily exercise. I love to ski as well, and I do a bit of yoga every day. I LOVE to cook and grow food, and have cooked professionally at one point in my life.  (Recently foraged nettles while on a hike and came home and made homemade ricotta-nettle ravioli). I'm adept at canning and preserving food. I've been a freelance photo stylist in commercial photography for almost 35 years and I'm ready to do something more. I love to travel and have traveled to Europe extensively.  I have WWOOF'd in Italy and France, taking care of sheep & horses, cats and dogs, bed and breakfast, cooking, gardening, cleaning, ironing, etc. etc.  During Covid Quarantine I stayed at my family's farm in South Dakota, and was able to reestablish my Mom's perennial gardens, as well as build two waist-high growing boxes, a... read more

																		 My wife and I are retired military (32 years each). No strangers to living out of a suitcase, our goal in retirement is to continue those adventures by becoming immersed into the local life/culture of wherever we land. Short stays in neighborhoods, away from the touristy hotels is one of the best ways to do this.  The wife is very handy as she's rebuilt our bathroom and kitchen (I was manual labor).  We have 2 cats (but we do not travel with them), plants and a large yard that we are rather proud of - so, we're not afraid of the work involved in keeping up a home.  We understand the importance of treating your home and pets with the love that we have for our own. read more

																		 July 2025, I finished an amazing house sitting and air bnb manager role in Switzerland.  Villa Wilen is one of the most sought after properties in Switzerland for its exquisite views, the care the owners put into every single detail, and ideal location to visit all parts of the region.....****Passionate about exploring new areas in an unconventional manner.  Never knowing what might pop up is fun!I look at assignments as an excellent way to live a more 'locals' life while still being somewhere new!  And I know having someone responsible, such as myself, taking care of things while you're away could bring great peace of mind and pleasure to your travels.  I have bought and sold 4 houses all as a single highly independent individual with a good sense of organization, cleanliness, respect and moral compass. And I love animals to my core!A career claim to fame is when the University of Chicago asked me to open up a study abroad center for them in Paris!  I bec... read more
