During the years of raising my now-adult children, I/we have had numerous beloved pets that we cared for responsibly and lovingly, they were part of our family. Pets over the years which add to my pet-caring experience are dogs large, medium and small, cats, a rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters, and small birds. I enjoy taking dogs for lovely long walks, playing with them by throwing theirs toys to fetch (develops their playful personality), cuddling with kitties and other smaller pets, and generally find that giving love and attention to the pets comes naturally as I enjoy their company.
I also enjoy a bit of gardening, and love tending to flowers and herbs. If I'm not outdoors with the pets, I could be found curled up with a book or rustling up something in the kitchen.
Why I want to house sit
My daughter is studying at Southern New Hampshire University, USA, and my son is living independently (with our two doggies), so this is now my opportunity to have 5 years off, travel extensively and see the world before I settle down again sometime somewhere! But having some pet-company in the course of my solo-travels will make the journey complete...
My experience
Although I am new to Housesitting, I do have years of experience in managing my own home as a sole home-owner. I generally know what to do should there be any household situation requiring urgent attention. If the grass becomes long, I will be out there with the lawn-mower, as I am certainly fit, healthy and able to do it! Although I hope to be available in New Hampshire/Massachusetts area for Housesitting, I am also very familiar with the Surrey, UK area as I have visited there annually for the past 15 years.

She cares for a persons’ home and animal children as if they are her own. Her strong values, ethical behavior, honesty and reliability cannot allow for you to wish for a better sitter for your home and/or animal children.
