Why I want to house sit
I can no longer have pets because of condo restrictions, but do love to spend time with them. Free time and the desire to explore new places makes pet and house sitting a desirable situation for me.
My experience
Mutual love was shared with a spirited Wheaten Terrier, before illness took her from me, but she made every day a special one with new adventures, and new acquaintances, many who became friends. I have looked after several pets and houses for friends over the last few years when more time became available to me. Looking after a home and pet is a much greater travel experience than being in a Hotel.
I will take care of your home and pets as I have looked after my own. Clean, tidy, attentive and caring. I am physically active and walking is a favourite hobby, especially if there is a dog joining me.

Dorothy stayed in our house, looking after it like her own. Our dog Emma thinks of her as a second mother now that Dorothy has taken care of her twice while we were travelling. I cannot thank her enough for the loving care and attention. She even had supper ready and waiting when we got home. A treat after a long flight!

Response from Dorothy
Thank you both.
Emma is so easy to please and never a worry about wondering where she is.
She is never out of eye sight.
Sad to leave each other yesterday. -

Dorothy's ability to connect with our standard poodles, Maggie and Millie, was apparent the moment she stepped out of her car. The girls warmed up to her immediately, and we could tell that Dorothy felt the same. We did ask Dorothy to come the night before we were leaving so that we could all get to know each other. We spent a lovely evening chatting and were extremely comfortable leaving the girls and the house in her care. While we were gone, Dorothy texted a few updates and a photo so we could see how well things were going. In addition to being a very caring person, Dorothy is extremely professional, detail-oriented and responsible. This was our first experience with Trusted House Sitters and we couldn't be happier.

We came home to a clean house, a great home cooked meal, and felt we had also made a new friend. We would have her again in a heartbeat.
