Healthy, independent and proficient in taking care of properties, including commercial ones. Mostly vegetarian, healthy, adapt well to new environments, optimist and love to learn and to share my knowledge and expertise. Until recently lived and worked in Ottawa as a owner of a triplex doing the maintenance and upkeep. Worked part-time as a crossing guard for the Ottawa Safety Council which included a police check and full-time as a holistic health care provider for people and animals alike as well as teaching meditation and dowsing. As my work allows me the opportunity to travel without a home-base to worry about I am looking forward once again to travel. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker and with scent awareness.
Why I want to house sit
Allows me the opportunity to help others, live in new environments and enjoy the companionship of animals from time to time. Without a home base I miss the companionship that animals afford. I have the flexible time and schedule to provide this service that allows the safety and comfort for both pets and owners.
My experience
For the past 10 years I have cared for several peoples homes and pets (Ottawa, ON, Montreal, QC, Toronto, ON,) and previous to that for 6 yrs traveled WOOFing and taking care of properties in Ekbalam, Mexico; Intag, Ecuador; Colombia, Sri Lanka; and NSW, Australia. Quite handy with minor repairs. Finished a 3 month stay in the UK house sitting in both England and Scotland in 2017 as well as two house-sits on Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada. Finished my 2018 time in Australia and the UK including a house sit in Northern Ireland, Wales, and England. Back in Canada now and looking forward to finding a few house sits before winter sets in.

Nancy was a pleasure to have! Arriving the day before so we could discuss the dogs and house and gave us a great report when we got home. She was clean, tidy and my puppies loved her! Great to get to know her!

Nancy looked after our two elderly dogs from Friday 1st June through to the evening of Monday 4th June. We knew as soon as we met her that we were leaving both our dogs and our home in safe and experienced hands. Nancy is calm, unflustered and reassuring, and eased us into feeling comfortable about using Trusted House sitters going forward. We returned to find our dogs comfortable and happy, which is hugely comforting. We would have no hesitation in recommending Nancy and we hope to see her again in the future.

Nancy is a very pleasant person, with lots of experience to share. She is very caring and connected immediately with my shy Lola. Lola felt so at ease that she even slept on Nancy's bed (I'm a bit jealous as she doesn't do it very often with me !
