I am a single lady looking to love your home for a few weeks or months while experiencing a new community! I am active in a variety of activities and depending on the season - swimming, cycling, gym & chi walking. I have built/owned and lovingly cared for 5 homes on acre sized properties while raising a now independent family. I am very familiar with all that this responsibility entails, from the construction to interior completion to landscaping. Our home was always a retreat for at least 2 well-loved and very spoiled cats. I look forward to giving of the same affection to your pets.
My friend Sandy sometimes joins me in house sitting. Sandy is a former banker, highly motivated in retirement & an active gramma like myself.
Why I want to house sit
I have freedom 65 and want to return to travelling within and outside of Canada. In prior travel I have always sought to spend time living within a neighbourhood, as opposed to resorts and hotels. I love spending time with folks in new surroundings and of cultures different than my own. There is still so much to learn and experience!
My experience
I am a retired Registered Nurse with lots of energy and homeowner/property care experience. I have traveled extensively in Canada, US and Europe-from backpacking to resort style accommodations. I love pets, most especially kitty cats. For a period of 8 years I was also president/vice president of my condo board in an apartment complex - dealing with daily issues of security, maintenance and safety - as well as major renovations such as roofing, window replacement and interior updates.
I have downsized and currently have a 1 bedroom apartment and one kitty.
** I have a 2017 Canadian Vulnerable Sector and Criminal Record Check as a result of community volunteer endeavours.

I was so lucky to find Cheryl to look after my momma cat and her five 3-week-old kittens. Cheryl came out here ahead of time to meet the cat & kittens and learn about the house and area. She took on the job of transitioning the kittens to starting on solid food, and they were all twice the size, healthy and starting to be social when I got back. Momma cat also thrived under her care. Cheryl sent me email updates and photos while I was away. It is obvious that she loves animals. I would not hesitate to have Cheryl back any time I need a cat carer. She excels with them. The house will also clean and tidy on my return. I highly recommend Cheryl as a house sitter. You would be lucky to get her.

Response from Cheryl
Thanks Brenda! The whole kitty family was so much fun.
I loved spending time in your cozy home and taking walks around the harbour and "the barrens". Hope to see you again. Cheers!
