More information about this house sitter

INTRODUCTION

Hello, I'm Jenny! Originally from Glasgow, I now live in a rural village in Biggar, South Lanarkshire. I am a quiet and conscientious animal lover who has grown up with rescue dogs (specifically, Jack Russells), but love cats and dogs equally!

I am a psychology graduate, and work remotely as a writer (hence, my lengthy profile!) I have relished the opportunity to stay in some beautiful, scenic locations as a house sitter.

I am super organised, minimalist, eco-friendly (and mindful of rising energy costs!) and have been vegan for almost 5 years. I do not smoke nor drink alcohol (but make up for this by consuming excessive quantities of dark chocolate!)

I respect the homes of other people and recognise the trust involved in inviting someone to look after your property. I strive to leave a house in the same (or better) condition as I find it. I am one of those people who love cleaning, so this is a joy for me! I believe house sitting should be an incredibly positive experience for both parties, and my aim is to make it as easy for owners as possible when they are away from home, keeping in regular contact and accommodating the home owner's circumstances where possible.

I have my own car (albeit, a bit of a rust bucket!) and am more than happy to transport pets or people in it.

WHY I WANT TO HOUSE AND PET SIT

I adore animals! I currently rent and so am not in a position to have pets of my own. However, I love the companionship of animals, getting to know their unique personalities and building a loving bond.

My preference is for 'local' sits within Scotland and the north of England. I find it is more secure for home owners to have a sitter who is accessible and familiar with the area. I enjoy building friendships with home owners and have been invited back for repeat sits on several occasions.

I make every effort to visit home owners and animals prior to the sit, to ensure you are comfortable your animals and home will be well looked after and can go on your travels without a care in the world!

MY EXPERIENCE

I am an experienced sitter, having looked after the same property between April 2018 and July 2019, quite by accident, before discovering that house sitting was a 'thing'! I have completed numerous sits since, privately and through various sites, ranging from a week to several months, including maintaining a large B&B when it was closed during the winter months. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs and have frequently looked after animals with specific healthcare needs and who require medication and/or supplements.

My sits are predominantly for regular clients with whom I've built a friendship, but I occasionally apply for a new sit that piques my interest and hope to expand my house sitting horizons in 2023. I am particularly interested in longer-term sits. I welcome invitations and would love to hear from you!

Please note, I am more than happy to provide references from other sites, as well as my Airbnb profile, if required. Read more...
