Retired Innkeeper, Now an Experienced, Caring Sitter ~ Non-Smoker & Non-Drinker
About Victoria
I understand how difficult it is for a homeowner to leave their precious possessions, home and pets in the care of someone else while traveling. I am extremely trustworthy and responsible, having worked in management of fine hotels and banking for many decades and now house and pet sitting for a variety of families around the world.

I understand how difficult it is for a homeowner to leave their precious possessions, home and pets in the care of someone else while traveling. I am extremely trustworthy and responsible, having worked in management of fine hotels and banking for many decades and now house and pet sitting for a variety of families around the world.
Currently I am seeking assignments for 2019! I try to keep my availability calendar up to date, but please contact me for current availability, as it changes frequently.
I am experienced in pet care and in managing homes for traveling owners and innkeepers. Really reliable and calm, I am fit, healthy and enjoy an active lifestyle. After a busy career for so many years in hospitality and marketing, I now enjoy staying at home more often and looking after pets and caring for the home. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker, and I will respect your property and take care of it according to your wishes and needs.
Why I want to house sit
Loving the flexibility of house and pet sitting, I enjoy travel to destinations around the world. I like keeping a tidy home for my clients and enjoying their pets! I want to be helpful to property owners, with or without pets, since I have excellent skills. I have experience in home and property ownership and pet care, and I enjoy using my skills to help people! There are many places to which I still want to travel and housesitting affords this opportunity.
My experience
Working for fine hotel companies like Marriott and Embassy Suites, as well as large banks including Bank of America has taught me the values of honesty, confidentiality and caring for my clients' homes and beloved pets.
I bring many years of pet care experience to you. I have enjoyed caring for many types of cats and different dog breeds....you can see in my photos that I love being with them! I have also cared for chickens, tropical birds and fish.
I owned two homes over the years, one in the city and another in a rural, mountainous setting with acreage and perennial gardens, fruits and vegetables. I also owned and operated 2 small bed and breakfast inns in Georgia, so I can help with innkeeping or vacation homes while you are away.
I have a commitment to exceed the expectations of my clients, and I am happy to provide specific information for my references, so that you may contact them directly. I have a clear background check which is available on request as well.
Please contact me for my housesitting website address, which will provide you with all the details of my background and experience house and pet sitting.

Victoria came to look after my cat, Suki, in the Christmas period and was absolutely delightful. She is very independant and took to the house and settled in no time as I only had a couple of hours to receive her. She is very experienced with pets and kept sending me updates on Suki who looked perfectly happy and settled. I felt completely at ease and reassuredwhilst she was looking after her.

Victoria dog/house sat for us for 3 weeks. She is a brilliant and reliable sitter and we felt very re-assured whilst we were away. From our first contact we have had great communications via skype/email and whats app. Victoria is a lovely lady with a great sense humour and is self- sufficient and is well travelled and organised. Prior to Victoria's arrival our dog Petra had suffered severley to the November fireworks and was a bit of nervous wreck. We had implemented some treatments to help her. We were a bit anxious to leave Petra for 3 weeks and with a 'stranger' but we needn't have worried. Victoria understood our dilemma and was more than happy to continue with the treatments were necessary if Petra was still stressed. Petra 'jelled' with Victoria and everything was hunky dory. We would highly recommend Victoria and you will be very lucky to have her to take care of your pet and home. We hope to see her again one day and wish all the best for the future.

We are delighted to recommend Victoria as a trusted house and pet sitter.
It was nice to finally meet her. She is a lovely person who took good care of our house in our absence and more importantly our nervous rescue dog.

We could see how happy Tara was on our return – and despite the boring rainy weather they clearly became friends. We look forward to seeing her again at New Year - so that speaks for itself!
Thank you Victoria x- Organised
