Retired homeowner and lifelong pet owner enjoying the freedom of full time travel while caring for others’ homes and beloved pets. Reliable, respectful, tidy, and experienced with pets.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I adore all kinds of pets and enjoy spending time with them: walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. House and pet sitting combines so many things I enjoy caring for animals, experiencing new places, and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Almost five years ago, I made the decision to sell my home and all my belongings to pursue a full-time slow-travel lifestyle. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience, filled with adventure, personal growth, and a sense of freedom I truly value.

It has been an incredibly rewarding experience, filled with adventure, personal growth, and a sense of freedom I truly value.

Over the past few years, though, I’ve realized how much I miss having dogs in my life. My own beloved dogs have all crossed the rainbow bridge, and house and pet sitting feels like the perfect way to once again enjoy the companionship, joy, and comfort that animals bring.

As a longtime pet owner and responsible homeowner, I understand the importance of providing animals with attentive, trustworthy care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — whether that means walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply helping them feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away.

I treat every home with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own and am happy to provide regular communication and updates so you can travel with complete peace of mind.

I also speak American Sign Language (I am not deaf or hard of hearing).
