Warm, responsible & experienced sitter

More information about this house sitter

Hello!
I'm a 36 year old consultant and postgrad student, who has officially been a pet, plant and house sitter since 2018 via the Trusted Housesitters website (where I have a more detailed profile, a large collection of 5* reviews and full identity verification certificate)!

I am currently partway through a long-term sit for a lovely dog in north London whilst her parents are away for a number of months. I will finish here in early March 2025 and I am open to exploring long-term sits (for dogs, cats, small mammals and reptiles) from March onwards.

******* ABOUT ME ********
I'm a 36 year old responsible sitter, with extensive experience taking care of a range of animals, properties and plants both here in the UK and internationally. I am currently completing a 'long-term' (4.5 months) sit for a lvely dog in North London!

I am from London, however, I moved to Spain just before the Brexit deadline in late 2020. I have since split my time back and forth between both countries. After getting a little homesick, I decided to to take on a long-term petsit here in London. I'm enjoying it so much that I am now exploring the possibility of another long-term sit afterwards! I will be working on research throughout 2025, which offers a unique window where I can be completely home-based for work, which is particularly great for dogs.

After growing up in a home full of animals, and volunteering at sanctuaries throughout my adult life, it's been a dream for many years to adopt a rescue pup. Unfortunately, due to my dual-base lifestyle, it wouldn't be fair to do so yet! So, I really enjoy house sitting and becoming temporary care-giver (yet lifelong friend!) to other peoples fur babies!

For peace of mind, Petparents are often reassured by my working background in HR, my clear advanced DBS check, my history as an AirBnB host and the collection of great reviews I have received for previous sits.

******** MY EXPERIENCE ********

I can share my personal and work email addresses, as well as my mobile number and whatsapp contact, so that we both feel reassured and can connect easily whilst I'm staying at your home.

MY REQUEST TO YOU:
It's really important to me to have all of the information I need to take care of your pet well. For this reason, I ask that even if we have discussed your pet's needs, you leave a full written handover which details their normal character/behaviour so that I'm able to notice if something changes, any strange little habits they have, their routine including feeds, walks, where they usually sleep etc, any medication and how/when to administer it, the vet's phone number (and what you would like me to do if your pet needs a trip to the vet), a phone number I can reach you on at any point during your time away and any other important information about your pet.

Thanks for reading! :) Read more...
