About Jennifer

For a decade I have been a professor at a university outside of Boston (I hold a PhD in literature), but am transitioning out of academia to pursue my own writing, tutoring, and public speaking career.

For a decade I have been a professor at a university outside of Boston (I hold a PhD in literature), but am transitioning out of academia to pursue my own writing, tutoring, and public speaking career. I am an avid traveler and travel writer and hope to inspire others with my work to explore and appreciate our magnificent planet. I am also a dedicated animal and nature lover (I adore animals of every variety, bar none!) and know from first-hand experience what it is to love a pet as a family member and best friend. My own beloved cat, Henry, passed away this summer after 17 wonderful years with me. I show every animal I meet the same love and care I gave to Henry, and make certain to give all their pet parents peace of mind through frequent updates (I would have wanted the same thing!) As for my interests, they are broad and diverse, as I love so many things in the world, from art and museums, to science to history, to languages (I speak French and Spanish and would like to continue learning new languages as well!) Finally, I'm single, quiet, non-smoking, and responsible. My experience with world travel has also made me very adaptable and resourceful. Since I work online I have tremendous flexibility and freedom in terms of where I am based and for how long, so don't hesitate to contact me -- I am receptive to sitting all over the world!

Why I want to house sit

My deep love of learning -- about other places, cultures, languages, wildlife -- inspires me to continue to travel all over the world. House-sitting not only allows me to spend a little longer really getting to know another part of the world, but it usually offers the great gift of animal companionship while I do so. I really cherish that aspect of housesitting, especially after the passing of my long-time animal companion, Henry. It also heartens me to be able to be of service to my fellow travelers by taking good care of their homes and dearest companions while they are on their journeys.

My experience

I have many years of experience traveling solo to many different countries in the world and therefore adapt very quickly to foreign environments; I speak multiple languages and am always keen to learn more; I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover and with substantial experience caring for many types of creatures.

    Jennifer was an excellent even perfect pet sitter for our dog Chloe. She gave her lots of loving attention, took good care of her and kept in touch with us with pictures, comments and questions. She was also available last minute for us which was very appreciated. Jennifer left our apartment even better looking than she found it. We wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer to take care of your pet and home. Thank you, Jennifer!!!

    Jennifer is an exceptional house sitter. She stays in touch while you are away, keeps the house in tip top shape, and most importantly for us, is really kind and affectionate with our two cats. We felt completely confident trusting her and it was a joy to interact in preparation for the week we were away, as she is a friendly and interesting with many life experiences. We recommend her highly.
