My experience

10+ years

I have had cats since I was at university for about 15 years. We also had cats as a family when I was a child. I always thought I was only a "cat person." However, in 2004 I adopted my lab-blue heeler mix, Paul Anka. He lived for almost 18

Korijna looked after Angela Bruxer’s pets & home

Kori is extremely reliable and respectful, and she cares deeply about animals and their wellbeing. She is experienced with elderly animals with medical needs and anxiety issues. When our 18-year-old cat was nearing end of life, Kori truly listened to us and was supportive and empathetic as we decided what to do. She was there through everything - including the hour-long drive late at night to the pet hospital. Kori will watch after your home and pets as if they were her own. She is very trustworthy, detail oriented, and respectful of others' homes.

About

Hello! I am a palliative care-trained gerontologist who conducts research in cancer survivorship with older adults. I was a dog mom to my wonderful Paul Anka (pictured in my profile) for 18 wonderful years and sweet Gaspar for 19 years.

Why I want to house sit

As my job allows me to work fully remotely and since I have been without a pet of my own for a year, I now want to travel and stay in places other than CO. At the same time I miss having a pet around and very much want to stay in a place
