Friendly, reliable and tidy animal lover

More information about this house sitter

Hello!

My name is Cristina and I work as a freelancer editor for academic research papers.

I moved to England from Romania in 2019 for a full-time job and have always wanted to see more of it as I find it a very beautiful country. I have also been missing taking care of and spoiling pets, but because I like to travel quite often, I chose not to have my own again for the time being. Therefore, house-sitting with pets would sit very well with me :) In addition, I will gladly water any plants as required, collect mail and run errands if needed.

I am a very reliable person, highly organised and very tidy. I am also very friendly and positive, while having a strong preference for owning my time as much as possible, which is why I am freelancing.

As a person who spends a lot of time indoors, a home is very important to me and I love to take care of the space I live in, keeping it fresh, clean and ordered and creating a lovely atmosphere for myself and those I may share it with.

I have experience mostly with cats and dogs, but I love all animals. I am a vegetarian and I live a very healthy life-style (no smoking, no drinking, eating organic if possible, doing yoga, Pilates and Reiki, and, most of all, keeping myself in balance and with an ever-learning approach to life).

I can provide excellent references both from my Airbnb hosts (see screenshots attached) and from my friends whose pets I have taken care of throughout the years.

Looking forward to helping you and meeting your lovely pets!
Cristina

If you wish to know a bit more about me, here are some random facts:
- I decided to go live in another country after visiting Hawaii. I chose cloudy England instead of a tropical location and I am sure I made a great decision
- I speak French (almost fluently) and some Spanish. I’d love to learn German too for the sound of it.
- When I was little, I patiently tamed a parrot and a rabbit
- I think travelling is valuable not so much for the places you get to see, but for how the new experiences created this way change you. In this sense, when house-sitting, I don't really aim to wander all day long, it's more about disrupting my routine and placing myself in new environments
- I have a knack for thinking out of the box, making unusual connections between different pieces of information and coming out with new ideas
- I believe business can be a force for good and I am working towards having my own business
- I am the long-distance ("adoptive") parent of an orphan teen aged 16, with the assistance of the Help One Child Thrive (HOCT) foundation
