My experience

I've been travelling since mid-2017, alternating pet-sits with teaching English. Before that: in 2007 I volunteered at a plant nursery in Malta. That was part of a 'mid-life gap year' during which I also worked (read - volunteered) at a

Kathy was a really lovely person who clearly engaged with Percy and Theo. We walked away knowing they would have lots of attention, walks, and be well

Kathy worked with us as a kitchen and studio assistant. She is an extremely capable and practical lady, with plenty of common sense. I found Kathy to be a highly intelligent person and definitely able to take full responsibility of any tasks set, also able to cope in a difficult situation. I would not hesitate to employ her again should circumstances permit.

Why I want to house sit

I love to learn about the places I visit. To do that I need to spend time in a location. 10 years ago, I Wwoofed and Help-Xeded my way around Europe for a year. It was a blast, only wish I knew about housesitting way back then!
