My experience

5 years

I genuinely care about all plants and animals. I believe they are sentient beings that deserve love and respect. The dog in my profile pictures is my late son, Leroy. We had him for ~13 years, which is well over the average for his breed

Melissa kindly watched my home and took care of my 110 pound mastiff, allowing my girlfriend and I too escape for a week long trip. She did a wonderful job of taking care of the place and it seemed like our four legged friend wasn't quite ready for her to leave when we returned. I'd strongly recommend her as a sitter... unless your travel plans conflict with mine ;) Thanks Melissa!

Why I want to house sit

I'm from San Diego, CA originally, but I will be living out my digital nomad dreams of working remotely while traveling around south eastern USA.. NC, SC, and FL are my main points of interest but I'm open to where the wind and wifi take
