I have always had pets in my life, mostly cats and dogs. It is unimaginable, to me, to live without a loving pet beside me.

Hello, I am now 60 years old, not sure how it happened but alas that is my age. In 2002 my husband and I bought a sailboat, took it apart, rebuilt it from scratch and have been living aboard for 8 years. We have always had pets, at one point our home, was home to 3 cats and a dog (Chester.)
Sophie our last pussycat sailed across the Atlantic with us and when she passed away we were given 2 little dogs, Sicilian born. All my pets have either been given to me or they found me:-) I am very capable and resourceful woman.

Why I want to house sit
Recently my husband and I decided to settle down for a few years and keep our boat in Croatia. We want to build a small business to add to our savings. My business, can be done anywhere I have internet and a post office. I still want to travel, visit friends, source products and build our business. I am a Canadian citizen and can travel easily and quickly.
My husband must remain in Croatia and will look after our puppies. I currently need to return to Toronto for 6 months and would love to find a place to live with pets to look after.
My experience
I have looked after pets, cats and dogs, my entire life.
(For 1 year of my life, so far, I've been without a pet and I missed them terribly.)
I am not experienced with farm animals, nor birds but I can learn quickly and would be very happy to keep them company. As far as house sitting, currently I have no experience. However I've owned 2 homes and rebuilt a 39ft sailboat. I can manage looking after gardens, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, fixing easy toilet or electrical issues and I know how and when to call for a professional.

Having spent a lot of time with Maggie (Margaret) in the last 5 years, I can honestly say that I can't think of anyone better suited to this position. She is a wonderful, warm, caring, intelligent and responsible person and I would happily have her looking after my home and pets. She keeps things spotlessly clean and tidy and is very practical (all that boat living), she would make the ideal house-sitter. Maggie has looked after our 2 dogs on many occasions, including them living with her for weeks at a time. They adored her and I trusted her implicitly to do the right thing, and she always did. I recommend her highly.

Margaret is a very mature, responsible and caring individual. I have known Margaret for over 25 years and she has always had pets who were well cared for and loved. She has also been well employed and successful in her career. She is a caring and loving individual who looks after her friends and family and enjoys life in a positive manner. She has often looked after my pets in the past while I was away, as I have for her, and everything was always done just as expected. Margaret is a fine individual of good character whom I have no hesitation in recommending for a position like this. I would be happy to further discuss or expound on these points, upon request. Thank you.
