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 to house sit in Italy between 9 November - 20 November 2018. Spending 4 months in Europe this Fall and Winter, I will be traveling in Italy after house sitting in France 12 October - 8 November 2018, and before I return to the UK for 2 assignments over Christmas 2018. Please do contact me if you need a sitter in Italy!
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 over to look after my six-month old kitten whilst I was away for the weekend. She is a patient, caring, tidy lady who kept in touch with me on a daily basis, emailing me pictures of a happy and relaxed kitten who was obviously enjoying her company.

On my return home, my kitten looked totally relaxed and stressless!! Victoria would be more than welcome to catsit for me again in the future, and I am very happy to recommend her to other home/pet owners.- Organised

Victoria is honestly the perfect housesitter! I think you can't find a better one for your pets and home! From the beginning, she tries to understand everything about the well being of your pets and your way of life. I was a bit worried to live my pets during two weeks but immediately, I knew I could trust her. Thanks to her, I've spent some wonderful holidays. She was sending me everyday some news of my dog and cat. When I came back, I found my home perfectly cleaned and my two pets in perfect health! Boostee (my dog) and Izzie (my cat) were very fond of Victoria and very sad when she left. When I'll take some holidays in the future, I hope Victoria will be able to come back!
Once again, thank you for everything Victoria and I hope we'll keep in touch!!- Organised

Victoria was a great housesitter! She arrived on time to meet us and had no issues with our large puppy while we were away. She is a clean and conscientious person. I would have no reservations recommending her to friends for their pet care needs.
