My name is Suzi. I own and run a seasonal hundred plus year old bed and breakfast in Nova Scotia, Canada for the past 28 years. www.mecklenburghinn.ca I studied at Dalhousie University (B.A.) in Halifax, Cordon Bleu in London UK (certificate course) and George Brown College (restaurant management) in Toronto.

My name is Suzi. I own and run a seasonal hundred plus year old bed and breakfast in Nova Scotia, Canada for the past 28 years. www.mecklenburghinn.ca I studied at Dalhousie University (B.A.) in Halifax, Cordon Bleu in London UK (certificate course) and George Brown College (restaurant management) in Toronto. I have spent 17 winters as a chef and crew on private sailing yachts in the Caribbean. When I am not cooking or cleaning, I am doing house repairs and maintenance.
I also like to windsurf, kayak, ski, golf and play tennis.
Why I want to house sit
I would like to house sit because I love animals and I love to travel. My idea of traveling is spending a longer period of time in a location to get a feel for the area and get to know a few locals. I grew up and still live in a small village, but I also like the bright lights of cosmopolitan cities and everything else in between. I tend towards France as I would like to improve my language skills - I studied French in school but my conversational French is lacking. That said I am happy to go anywhere in Europe as I find it incredibly exciting.
My experience
I grew up with cats and dogs, a string of hamsters,bunnies,budgies and gerbils. I also looked after a horse and a goat for a few years.
I am quite good at fixing things as I own a turn of the century home and there is always something to fix. I can drive a manual shift and have a clean driver's license.
Having a wood stove and 2 fireplaces at the Inn, I know how to run wood fired heating.
I have a background clearance check/certificate from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
I have spent four winters cat /dog/ house sitting at different locations in Europe mostly for friends, but also a couple through Trusted House Sitter.
In 2017 I had to put down a 13 year old golden retriever while his owner was away for the month. It was heart wrenching, but I communicated constantly with the owner as we went through the decision and the process together.

It was a pleasure to have Suzi as a pet sitter! She looked after my three very long haired furry cats for three weeks. They were obviously pampered pets and the house was spotless, not an easy task with my furry ones. I would highly recommend Suzi, she is calm, capable and has a great sense of ...

recommend Suzi highly enough for giving us peace of mind in our absence and very much hope she would come again . There was a sense of peace and that all was well .
She has great common sense dealing with the inevitable household problems i.e gas bottle replacement , lights in the car and water and electricity cuts common here .
I felt our privacy had not in any way been invaded .- Organised

I have known Suzi Frazer for 12 years. Suzi is one of the most reliable, honest, capable people I know. She is meticulous, tidy, scrupulously clean, well organized, energetic and thoroughly reputable. I would not hesitate to recommend her, I have zero hesitation in leaving either my home or my pet in her care, in fact I think anyone who gets Suzi as a house sitter is incredibly lucky.
