My experience

I have cat-sat very often for several friends over the past decade, probably 8-10 different cats by now! I have less experience dog-sitting, but have helped friends out on a few occasions. I am experienced in giving medications to animals

Goda did an amazing job watching my dog Jack while I was away. She kept in touch with regular updates and cute photos, which really put my mind at ease

Gods was great! She left my apartment with happy cats, watered plants and nicely tidied up. What I really appreciated was her proactive communication and

Unfortunately, this was the first dissappointing experience I've had with a Trusted Housesitter. Goda and I had a great conversation before she arrived

Goda looked after Jasmin’s pets & home

Goda helped me immensely when I had to leave the country for six weeks and needed to leave my (sometimes high-maintenance) three year old cat and my apartment and yard behind. She is amazing with animals and my cat immediately took to her and loved her. She also is incredibly diligent and communicated with me regularly, clearly, and helped troubleshoot when house items malfunctioned. She also showed that she was very caring and detail-oriented when monitoring my cats health and behaviors which made it so much easier for me to be far away and feel that my pet is safe. I would trust Goda with my home and pets anytime and feel that she would be an amazingly reliable and trustworthy person to turn to for support, should I ever need to leave for an urgent emergency.

Why I want to house sit

I am a pet whisperer. I've always had pets in my life, whether through friends or roommates. I needed to move and travel too often to have a pet of my own. Through Trusted Housesitters, I hope to give pet parents the peace of mind and
