Hello!
I stumbled across this site while searching for vacation rentals and thought it was a fantastic idea! You get a loving pet sitter and reassurance that your home is safe while you are away and I get to travel, meet new people and experience more of this great big world I live in, or just have a local place to rest and/or work when I need one.
It's Serendipity, a fortunate happenstance, a pleasant surprise, an unexpected or chance discovery.
Why I want to house sit
A little about myself:
I have a wanderlust, a nomadic nature, a gypsy soul, a zest, excitment and love for life unexpected! I grow tired with routine very quickly and if I'm not careful, I will work myself to death just to avoid the mundane lull of every day life.
I love to see new places, meet new people and experience new adventures. I am for the most part a quiet and soft-spirited woman, preferring to cook, watch sunrises and sunsets, read books and tour interesting and beautiful places. I also like to fish, hike, swim, dance, garden, camp, help people and eat at all the best little inspired hidden gems in the places I visit! I've had little opportunity to travel in my adult life while I was busy raising my amazing daughter and now, being a single empty-nester, I'm ready to spread my wings. At this time I'm still limited by my day time work schedule and needing to regularly be close to and check in on my parents.
One day I was doing a little daydreaming, searching for accommodations to go visit friends and family when I stumbled across a house sitting site and now I'm super excited to explore the possibilites! I currently work in a corporate office doing simple data entry, M-F/8-5. Basically I'm stalling while I figure out my next plan. This starting over stuff is brutal! LOL I'm also a rideshare driver on the weekends and some week nights and I'm a doTERRA Elite Wellness Advocate so the rest of my time is filled with talking to people about changing the way they live and shop to achieve a healthier lifestyle. I work a LOT so I kinda need your pets as much as they need me! This momma needs to cuddle and play and enjoy wet noses, purring and snuggles. I live in Colorado with mom and my 22 year old daughter and within 30 minutes of my only sister. My father lives in Florida so my limited vacation time alloted to me is usually used to visit and check in on him.
At any given time I may be interested in the following scenarios. Please don't hesitate to reach out and chat if you think we might be a match so that we can get to know each other and plan for future sits:
1. I'm particulary interested in weekend sits, ariving Friday night and leaving Sunday afternoon to evening, at homes in Colorado in the cities of Fort Collins, Greeley, Longmont, Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs and Blackhawk or Vail or any other place where there will be a huge demand for Uber/Lyft, for special events that I would work as a rideshare driver. So if you want to get out of town to get away from the craziness, that's the perfect time for me to come stay! Since this would be a work weekend for me, this means I would be gone or in and out most of the night but I would be at the house to sleep and just rest all morning. (I often stop to nap for a few hours during busy work weekends and then go back out and work so I shouldn't be gone for more than 6 hours at a time.) This scenario would be perfect for a cat sit and for older dogs who don't need to be walked but have a back yard to use. They can cuddle with me while I sleep and I will feed and love the heck out of them!! I had to put both of my kitties down last year. They were 17 and very ill and I miss them terribly. I would love love love to cuddle with your babies!!! :-) I can possibly arrive earlier and stay later but have to be able to request that time off so I'll need some warning. I'm also VERY interested in rest and relaxation believe it or not, so any sit that is located close to hot springs would be a dream come true!
2. I'm also interested in vacation placements out of Colorado so that I can see new places. This is my ultimate goal but hard to plan due to my work commitments and the need to visit and check on my dad so right now I can plan one - two and half week vacation per year and it will have to be used to visit my father. So if you live within 30 minutes of Palm Bay, Florida, please consider me!!
I will update my listing as I gain more availability but I hope that some of us can connect. Happy searching! This site is sooo cool! :-D
My experience
What you can expect from me:
I keep a clean home and I don't smoke. Depending upon the duration of my stay and the condition and size of your property, I will collect your mail, take messages, maintain a cleaned space, water plants and gardens, care for, play with, clean up after and love your pets. I can even do some grocery shopping for you so that your fridge is stocked when you return and put something amazing in a crock-pot for dinner for you to return home to.
I have owned 3 homes, two manufactured and one stick built and I had a huge garden at my last home. I can give you references of friends who will vouch for the condition that I kept my home in and theirs when I visited them and I'm happy to share photos of my home. While I'm sitting for you, you can expect regular communication as well as photo and video updates of your pets.
I am unfortunately plagued with some allergies and extremely sensitive to smoke so I am unable to stay in homes where the homeowner smokes inside. I also may unplug the 'plug-in and automatic fragrance sprays while I'm staying there. Thankfully most pet hair does not bother me as long as some attempt is made to clean it up.
This would be my first house sitting experience so I understand if you need to ask lots of questions! I will need to too! It's scary for me to stay in a strangers house so I would like to get to know you as much as possible ahead of time and I imagine you feel the same way. I also need to request the time off from work so the earlier we start talking and planning the better.
That's all I can think of right now, I'll edit and add more to this later. Thanks for stopping by. :-)

Sandy - House / Pet sitting Reference
21 July 2017
I've known Sharon for over five years in both a business and personal context. She is dependable, friendly, loves animals, and takes responsibilities seriously. I would definitely have her house or pet sit for my own house/pets - our pets are our babies and I would absolutely trust her with them.
