About Lalesha Mckoy:

I’m Lalesha Mckoy, a luxury house sitter with a deep passion for holistic living, intentional spaces, and high-level care. For over four years, I’ve been entrusted with homes, where I provide attentive, discreet service that ensures each residence is not only secure and well-maintained—but also calm, clean, and energetically balanced.

As someone who lives a holistic lifestyle centered around yoga, meditation, and plant-based living, I bring a grounded, mindful presence into every home I care for. I have a deep love for nature and animals, and I treat every pet, plant, and personal space with the same care and respect I would offer my own sanctuary.

Before stepping into house sitting full time, I worked as an interior decorator for luxury apartments and condos, which refined my eye for detail and my appreciation for design, ambiance, and intentional living. I understand the nuances of maintaining elevated spaces—from managing smart home systems and coordinating maintenance, to preserving the look and feel of curated interiors.

To me, house sitting is more than a service—it’s a way to care for both the physical and energetic environment of a home. I prioritize peace, privacy, and presence, so my clients can travel with total confidence, knowing their space—and everything in it—is in experienced and loving hands.
