I am a teacher based out of Toronto but like to travel as much as possible.
I'm currently working on a PhD from King's College London, so spend most of time doing research and writing thousands of words only to delete most of them and start over. All this to say: I'm flexible as long as I have Internet access.
I love Toronto but am always up for new sights, sounds and smells. I have lived in 11 countries and travelled to over 70 (and counting) so I have no problem being in new environments.
Why I want to house sit
My mission last year was to travel whenever I can, however it happens, with whatever means I have! And I hope to continue this year as well!
I will be doing research this year and would prefer to house sit so that I can have a quiet environment. This means I would be 'home' mostly so there is never fear of leaving pets alone for more than a couple of hours max.
My experience
I have house and pet sat for family and friends for years. I am honest, reliable and caring.
I have owned a home too and know how essential it is to have a trustworthy sitter taking care of your home and pets. I am handy, I renovated most of my own home myself! I am not a party animal and don't smoke or do drugs. I am a vegetarian. I would treat your home as I would like others to treat mine.

Dina stayed in my NYC apartment for 10 days to look after my feisty cat. She was communicative leading up to the visit and courteous enough to change her travel plans to ensure we had time together prior to my own departure. Dina sent pictures and checked in regularly while I was away, and even advised me of a water outage in my building. There was unexpected construction that meant the street dos not have water for 8 hours a day several days in a row, and Dina seemed unfazed by this inconvenience. My apartment was spotless when I returned and Dina was thoughtful enough to even leave some fresh fruit for me. She followed my instructions about the house to the last detail and, most importantly, my cat was happy and seemed well-cared for upon my return. I would invite Dina back and I recommend her as a sitter for others.

Dina was great as our house/pet-sitter. The condo was clean and cat was happy. I would recommend Dina for anyone looking for a sitter.

prepared, and she always follows it to the letter. The cats have special meds in the a.m. and other various other snacks during the course of the day--but she handles their needs perfectly.
Best is, she adores the cats and they adore her. When I am planning to go out of town, I swear that if they could contact her themselves, they would do so. When I walk out the door, I know I am leaving my cats with someone who not only loves them, but takes care of them just as I would. She is the best.- Organised
