My experience

10+ years

I'm a clean, mature woman in my 50s, non-smoker, lifelong animal lover and former homeowner, and I take care of pets, plants, and homes the way I'd want others to care for mine. I've been house and pet sitting since I was in my 20s

I’ve been lucky enough to have Gillian care for my elderly cat a few times now. I always offer her new dates first hoping she’s available as she is the best!

We were very happy with her care of our home and 2 beloved cats The house and cats were in great shape when we returned from 6 week trip It was difficult to imagine being gone that long but once I met her I was confident that would be fine. She even texted photos of our girls!

Why I want to house sit

For seven of the past nine years, I was a full-time, nomadic sitter. I am now preparing to move from upstate New York to southern England in July, 2025. I'd like to find some places to catch my breath and experience different areas before
