Why I want to house sit
While we live in Stockholm and spend time in Las Palmas and like to travel, we have found it difficult to have our own animals. House sitting and looking after other people's pets would give us the oppurtunity to combine what we really like to experience with what we miss in life right now (having some pets to care for).
My experience
Both I and Staffan grow up in the countryside with dogs and cats. And when our children grew up we had cats and a much loved golden retriever for 14 years. We also used to take care of friend's and neighbour's dogs and cats over the years. I would say we are good at making friends with pets. Over the years we had several big houses with gardens, so we know about that responsability and how to look after a house.

Monica was a joy.
Easy to communicate with and a lovely person.
I had absolutely no worries when I left her with my precious cat and my home whilst I was overseas for a week.
I came back to a happy cat and a spotlessly clean home.
Highly recommend.

Monica looked after our house and Molly for 8 days whilst we were away. We found her very friendly and we could see that she would take good care of everything in our absence.
We got home to a very happy cat and a pristine house. I can definitely recommend Monica as a perfect house-sitter!Monica looked after our house and Molly for 8 days whilst we were away. We found her very friendly and we could see that she would take good care of everything in our absence.

I have known Monica for more than twenty years during which time I have stayed with her and she with me on countless occasions. Monica has the ‘Scandinavian touch’ as a home-owner and guest. She arrives with flowers, leaves her shoes at the front door and is quietly calm and organised. Her house-keeping and ‘house-guesting’ is a perfect combination of cleanliness without exceptional fussiness, respect for privacy and reliability.
She loves Home-making and Home-sitting and has house-sat for us on many occasions whilst we have been away for extended (months) periods. We have always returned with the house in perfect order - sparkling clean and welcoming.
Monica loves pets - she has had family dogs and loves nothing more than a long walk with a loving dog in a park or on the beach. She is 100% trust-worthy, honest, reliable and generous. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any house-owner.- Organised
