I managed a college art library for over 12 years in Santa Monica, California. Currently, I am enjoying a work-free lifestyle as I map out my next career direction. I am looking for some housesit opportunities so I can spend some time with animals in a charming location. My husband is working on an intense project in Portland so he will not be housesitting with me at the moment.
I adore animals! In particular, I have a lot of experience with cats. I used to have two cats, but they both passed away after living full, playful lives. I miss them both so much, but I now have more time to meet new animals when I housesit and petsit.
Fun Fact - My husband and I were featured in a Wall Street Journal article for using Netflix as a cheap way to workout at home: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123984558896723563
Why I want to house sit
I am an avid traveler and I prefer to stay in a home/apartment over a hotel because it allows me to get a better feel for the place I am visiting. It is also nice to have access to a kitchen where I can fix a quick meal or make a hot beverage. Spending time with, and caring for, pets makes the experience even more enriching.
My experience
Without a doubt, I am an animal lover. I used to volunteer twice a week at an animal shelter in San Francisco where I learned to comfort and nurture animals with all kinds of unique personalities and preferences. I enjoyed finding out what type of play, petting, grooming and general attention brought each of them the most happiness. I also volunteered in Los Angeles at a dog shelter where I walked dogs before they got adopted. I grew up with dogs and cats and over the years I have helped my mom take care of her two dogs, Forbes and Forest. One is a shy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the other is an outgoing, happy-go-lucky Pyrenean Shepherd.
I have a lot of experience housesitting for friends and taking care of their pets. I also worked at a Bed and Breakfast for several years where I honed my meticulous cleaning techniques. This is a useful skill when staying in other people’s houses because I enjoy leaving the place nicer than when I arrived. I know how fantastic it feels to arrive to a clean home after a vacation!
I have also stayed at lots of Airbnbs and gotten great reviews that describe me as trustworthy, friendly, communicative, clean, respectful, fun and interesting.

Frida was an absolutely wonderful house and pet sitter! I could tell she would be reliable and trustworthy from the moment we spoke on the phone and when we met. She accommodated my wish for an early arrival so I could walk her (and her husband Perre) through the checklist before we left. She sent delightful photos of our kitties while we were away and the house was spotless and the pets were happy and comfortable when we returned. My only regret was that we didn't get more time to hang out once we returned as Frida and Perre are delightful and conscientious people. I'd have them back in a heartbeat!

Frida was 5 stars all the way! Fabulous and warm personality, easygoing but organized, and totally self-reliant but made sure to do what was important to us. She sent us the cutest photos of our pets (seriously, one of them was sleeping on her FEET - that is how lovely she is) - and when we returned, our home was completely spotless. We could only hope to have Frida stay with us again sometime. Housesitters, you will strike gold with this one. Frida, thank you for everything. Just fabulous!

She left the house immaculate and kept me updated every day.
Our 9 week old puppy, Rio was on medication for a cough and she was sure to keep me updated with this and kept his medication up to date. She went out of her way to collect new medication that Rio required.
Rio was extremely energetic and Frida managed this very well.
Frida is kind, genuine and will ensure that you do not worry whilst you are away.
Thank you Frida!- Organised
