Hello there! My name is Marina and I am a Canadian young professional and a graduate student in the Master's of Management Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Queen's University. I have an immense love for travel and keep busy between my studies, my freelance content strategy consulting business, and my hobbies, which include swimming, horse riding, writing, and reading.
Why I want to house sit
I am coming to the UK at the end of January to explore the innovation consulting realm while also conducting research on opportunities to create innovative technologies for increasing horse rider safety. I want to house sit because it provides an opportunity to give the home and pet owners peace of mind while experiencing life as a 'local'. Hard to ignore the fact that I love animals too.
My experience
Having grown up with animals, I've had frequent opportunities to house sit for family, friends, and neighbours. I grew up with three large dogs, 2 cats, and was riding horses from the age of 5. My parents now have a dog and two cats and I often housesit for them when they vacation. I have also had experience working on horse farms as a volunteer groom.
