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.

I would like to express my thanks and appreciation for Nancy's excellent care for both my kitties as well as my home. Nancy provided timely communication prior to her sit dates and made arrangements to be at my home in advance of my trip so she could be familiar with the cats and my home. She was very observant and asked revalent questions. Even though my time away was just over a log weekend - Nancy kept in touch so I could be assured all was well at home. Upon my return home it was obvious Nancy had paid attention to keeping the litter box clean as well ensuring the kitchen was tidy and inviting. With regard to caring for the cats, Nancy went above and beyond by doing research about the medication that had been prescribed and made suggestions regarding ensuring its effectiveness. It was obvious that Nancy had a lot of animal care knowledge and experience so I took advantage by asking lots of questions resulting in feedback which I have found very helpful. I feel I was quite fortunate to have had Nancy as my sitter and highly recommend her to other individuals looking for a knowledgable, reliable and trustworthy sitter.

Nancy is a wonderful person and I'm so glad to have had her in my home, taking care of the pets and the house, and I would have her come again any time, I hope she's available when I'm going away next time.

Nancy arrived the day before I left, to familiarise herself with the pets' routines, feeding rituals and quirks. I really like that she was totally engaged with them, and they took to her right away. Nancy even drove me to the airport next day and saw me off, and she picked me up on my return.
Nancy sent me a few email updates, including photos of Daisy Mae and Spanky clearly happy and not missing me one bit. She didn't have the easiest of weather to deal with, ranging from spring-like slushy wet to -19C freezing winter in the space of two weeks, but she cleared the steps and walkways, kept the bird feeders filled, and Spanky got walkies every day, though shorter in the deep cold. The house was spotless.
I can't recommend Nancy enough for anyone who needs someone reliable, trustworthy and capable to take care of things at home. Thanks ever so much, Nancy!- Organised

Nancy Is Awesome!!! Fabulous!!! Infinite Love & Gratitude from Allan & Me for Nancy coming to home & pet sit. All our 7 Fabulous Felines & We miss her from her leaving end of sit 2 days ago. 10 STAR +++ Rating on all areas listed below. In a weeks time, Nancy knew more info about our cats than we did as to some of their habits, likes, dislikes, even tho Allan & I are really tuned in.. Our cat room with litter & food storage has never been so clean--she even shovelled extra gravel into a washed out area in our driveway. Nancy was always there if we called to check in with Love & sharings. You know that a Special person has looked after your animals when you return home & they are all calm, relaxed as if you never left. There are not enough words to Praise Nancy & her home & pet sitting gifts. Highest of Recommendations for Nancy +++
