I'm a writer/communications professional with a background of working in business and public service. I'm a reliable, trustworthy and tidy housesitter who treats any home or pet(s) as my own.
I love animals and quickly make friends with most dogs and cats. (My own pets have included a Labrador Retriever, Beagle and a Calico cat.) For many years, I have looked after houses and/or pets for friends: some of them have provided references on this site.
I have recently obtained a 2017 police check (independent of the one offered on this site).
Why am I doing this? I love to travel and explore new places, but I often feel restricted by accommodation expenses. I enjoy getting to know a community and there is no better way to explore than with a local dog(s)!
Why I want to house sit
I enjoy travel when I can live 'like a local' and explore the culture/customs of a place. Currently, I'm in-between a 'normal' (9-5) job and a permanent residence, so I have some freedom to move about. I work part-time in admin at a tennis facility and take on freelance writing projects. I'll communicate with you about your home and pets as often as you like.
My experience
In late 2016 and again in early 2017 - through this website - I took care of two lovable, energetic standard poodles in Anmore, a suburb of Vancouver. For years I've been trusted house/pet-sitter for many friends. I'm not able to keep a pet in my current living space so I seek out opportunities to get temporary pet 'fixes' in interesting locations.

Susan looked after our three cats, Sam, Jake and Poppy, over Christmas. She also fed the local wildlife visitors to our garden!
Susan kept us updated and the cats took to her very quickly. She left the house in an immaculate condition. We would be very happy for her to sit for us again.Susan looked after our three cats, Sam, Jake and Poppy, over Christmas. She also fed the local wildlife visitors to our garden!

How lucky we were to find Susan! Susan is a very kind, capable and reliable person. Archie and the chickens were well looked after and the house kept clean and tidy, we could not have asked for more. We would welcome her back anytime. A big thank you.

This was Susan’s third stay at our home. As with the two times before, she was an excellent house- and dog-sitter. She took the dogs on long walks, keeping them tired and happy. They are old friends by now! We came home to a spotless house and happy puppies. Susan’s the best! We know we can rely ...

They are old friends by now! We came home to a spotless house and happy puppies. Susan’s the best! We know we can rely on her for excellent care of our home and our dogs. Thanks, Susan, for helping us out.
