I am a single, Canadian woman in my early 40's (I won't be too specific!), and I'm a Landscape Designer in the Toronto area. An enjoyable afternoon for me is relaxing in the garden and enjoying a glass of wine.

Along with animals, I find meeting new people is one of the best things in life. There's always something rewarding about sharing experiences and stories with new (and old!) friends. I have done a fair amount of traveling in the past and have picked up a little Spanish and French along the way.

In my spare time, I like to garden, walk, and explore neighbourhoods. Dance is a large part of my life. I perform as a professional belly dancer, and also study Tango. Watching others perform is also pure joy for me!

Why I want to house sit

Having just moved into the Toronto area after spending many years living a more rural lifestyle, I now have the flexibility to move from one place to another until I have made a more permanent living commitment such as purchasing another home.
This is an ideal time to explore new neighbourhoods within the city, meet new people and broaden my horizons.
Having always loved animals, house sitting offers a unique opportunity to have more experiences with furry (and non-furry) creatures.
I know I can offer peace of mind to people who need a reliable person to care for their home and pets while away.

My experience

Having owned and built a house in the country for more than 15 years, I've got a broad understanding of all things house related. Practical things such as mechanical works, general maintenance and the importance of cleanliness. During that time, I had 2 dogs and a cat to enjoy my time with. Musky, Banjo and Zephyr have all been wonderful companions!

Over this past year, I've done a 6 month house sitting stay in the Toronto area, and was responsible not only for the Crested Gecko and the Goldfish, but also the general upkeep of the house and regularly communicating with the homeowners to pass along information on the day to day going's on.

Additionally I spent two weeks house sitting in Uxbridge Ontario over Christmas while the homeowners were in Nicaragua. Myself and the 2 cats had plenty of cozy time together!

I do have a vehicle, so house sitting in areas not serviced by public transit isn't an issue for me. I'm available for stays anywhere in the greater Toronto area and extending even further outside the city depending on the time of year.

I am new to the website, but I am happy to provide references from my independent work if needed.

    From the moment I met with Raina, I knew she was just what I was looking for. She is knowledgeable about dogs and her innate calmness, is infectious. My boys loved her and were totally settled when we got home. She took, the care of these dogs seriously, and listened to her instructions and had no problems. The house was tidy and just how we left it. I hope to see her again and keep in touch with her, a total gem.

    While our family was travelling in Nicaragua this past Christmas...Raina stayed at our house for 2 week looking after our home and 2 cats. She was so wonderful, sending us updates and photos of our furry felines to give us peace of mind knowing they were well looked after.
    We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Raina, she is extremely thoughtful, very reliable and especially respectful of our home. It was very important to us, that Raina was a homeowner herself, knowing she would be able to handle any issues if they should arise.
    We were also very delighted to come home to a very clean house, sidewalk shovelled and 2 very happy kitties.
    Thank again, Raina you will be hearing from us again!

About Raina

I am a single, Canadian woman in my early 40's (I won't be too specific!), and I'm a Landscape Designer in the Toronto area. An enjoyable afternoon for me is relaxing in the garden and enjoying a glass of wine.

Along with animals, I find meeting new people is one of the best things in life. There's always something rewarding about sharing experiences and stories with new (and old!) friends. I have done a fair amount of traveling in the past and have picked up a little Spanish and French along the way.

In my spare time, I like to garden, walk, and explore neighbourhoods. Dance is a large part of my life. I perform as a professional belly dancer, and also study Tango. Watching others perform is also pure joy for me!
