More information about this house sitter

About me!

Hello this is Craig, I'm a mature 44 year old, who is very flexible, affable and a calm person under pressure.

I live a clean, healthy, active lifestyle; don't smoke (prefer juice and water to drink than anything else) and I have a proven record of managing peoples homes and pets.

I'm a British Born individual; interested in looking after any property/pets in Europe (including UK) and I am immediately available.

I run my own small software company, which allows remote working and location neutrality. (AKA I can run it from a living room or the beach).

I'm not concerned about air-conditioning but Wifi internet (even very slow) would be a big help, even if just available at the local town.

I enjoy writing lyrics/poetry as a hobby and produced a solo music album some years ago (I don't like to think about how long ago!).




What can I bring?

For a pet sit I am a HIIT sprinter which the dogs love as it is exciting to take them out and run about.  For cats I like to hide small water bowls around the place as I find they enjoy the surprise.

I'm very emotionally intelligent and love to send action shots of pets to you owners while they are away; as I know it is comforting!

Experiences!

My most complex housesit/petsit was 3 cats and 2 HUGE! Black Labradors (joint night walks were a challenge...) with a complex array of medications and feeding routines.

I recently finished a one year volunteer visa in the USA, volunteering at the Unitarian Church in Summit, New Jersey. I lived at a church members house and it was initially a cat/pet sit, then I generally looked after the large house and hot-tub when they were away for 4 to 6 months of the year. (Security lights, Chemicals, etc.)


As a younger man I managed my parents 8 apartment property business, while they were away, which was everything from grounds maintenance, arranging appliance maintenance to answering calls or showing potential tenants around the property.

I also joint own 2 rental properties in the UK which I maintain if local at the time.

Motivations!

I was mostly retired and my motivation now is to not have to pay rents as my company is only small, but covers the basics.  As a lifestyle business I need to live cheaply.

I've lived all over the world from close to New York to small quiet beach towns in Ecuador and am happy getting my head down into a solo software project for many months or I'm social enough to easily make new local friends.


We can talk/video-chat or meet at your convenience.


Thanks for reading, your consideration,

...and I'd love to help you!

Craig
