My experience

Since I was a kid, I've had taken care of many pets, like dogs, cats, rabbit, chicken, duck, fish, parrot, turtle, hedgehog, etc. I LOVE cats. I had two cats Mimi and Maisie for a total of 9 years separately. I miss them so much. I have

Simiao is a fantastic sitter - we've had her back multiple times to take care of our very energetic and social cat, Benito. Benito demands a lot of play, and

We had another great sit with Simiao. She is very communicative, organised, sends regular updates and leaves the apartment very clean and tidy. We would

Wow wow wow! Simiao was as top notch as a sitter can be. My four cats are meant to be extremely low maintenance, however one cat had an eye infection spring

I've had the privilege of knowing Simiao for almost 13 years. When we first met, she was the tenant in my house in Chicago for almost a year. We became very close friends and have stayed in constant contact ever since. She is highly responsible, respectful, clean, and neat. She's also optimistic and upbeat. While I was away on vacations, she took terrific care of my two furry feline children, Smokey and Jenny, who loved her more than I think they loved me. Hahaha! She spent hours cuddling with them (they're very affectionate) and playing with them so that they wouldn’t feel lonely when I was away. She saw that they were fed their separate diets (one needs prescription Urinary SO), and kept their litter boxes immaculate. Simiao is a great communicator and kept me up-to-date on everything that was going on with them and with my house and property. She also sent me tons of pics of my sweety-pies, something that made >me< feel less lonely! Hahaha! While she was living here, Simiao also helped shovel my driveway and sidewalks, brought in the mail, cleaned up the attic, watered the plants, etc. She couldn't do enough to help me, which I really appreciated because I live alone, and I'm far from being a spring chicken. Hahaha! Simiao genuinely enjoys helping others whenever she can. She will take fabulous care of your house and your pets, as if they were her own. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Why I want to house sit

I enjoy taking care of others, their properties, and animals. It feels rewarding knowing that the home/pet owners can be away from their home without worrying about their home and/or their pets. With 10+ years of classroom teaching
