Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile and considering me as a potential applicant to house/pet sit for you. I am sure you will be pleased in choosing me and it will give you great peace of mind when leaving your home and pet.
I want to take a moment to tell you a little about myself. In 2012, I started my own business in Seattle, Washington called Quality Time. It was a Personal Assistant business that included house/pet sitting, child-care and other duties such as running errands and home/office organizing. It was so rewarding to be able to help others in this way and I enjoyed it immensely. I started my business because I wanted to give people more “Quality Time” to spend doing the things that they love as well as create space for them to do what was important in their lives. In doing this, I have also grown personally from every assignment and experience. It is wonderful to have this opportunity house/pet sit again while I am traveling the world.
My college degree is in Speech and Hearing Sciences from the University of Washington. I recently worked as an Executive Assistant/Human Resource Coordinator for the Hearing, Speech and Deaf Center as well as being a Research Assistant/Lab Manager for the Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences at the University of Washington.
I believe very much in honesty, accountability, dependability and personal responsibility especially when it comes to caring for the things that are most important to you. Everything I do in my life is authentic, deliberate and I take great pride in doing my best. I like to keep things clean and organized whether I am in my own home or house/pet sitting for you so you can be confident that your home and pets will be well taken care of while you are away.
I am also very physically active, love to take walks and/or do yoga almost everyday. My health is very important to me and I enjoy the outdoors as well as exploring new cultures and cities. I have done extensive traveling and now have the opportunity to do more over the next couple of years. I am excited to do house/pet sitting around the world and connect with new people and pets while learning about new cultures.
Why I want to house sit
I really enjoy house/pet sitting because it gives me a chance to connect with people/pets and to give back. My goal in life is to be more mindful and give back in ways that help others live a more complete/authentic life. With the opportunity I have to travel right now, I am able to do this in a more global way. I want to give individuals peace of mind when they leave their homes and pets to travel. I understand what that is like and I would like to provide that to others as much as possible.
My experience
Having my own business and doing a lot of house/pet sitting, I have wisdom and experience that I can bring to every assignment. I have many skills in problem solving and much confidence in my abilities. I have also done much traveling over the years so I am comfortable and adaptable in new environments. This gives me the capability to balance confidence and caution when exploring a new place. I am always careful to keep a watchful eye while being friendly and gracious. I am able to adapt easily to any situation and quickly feel at home wherever I am.
I am also a very compassionate, caring person and this is so important when caring for pets. I very much enjoy the cuddles and conversing with them on a daily basis. I feel that they could use the extra attention when their owners are away. It helps us to connect and hopefully will help them feel more comfortable with a new person in their home. Additionally, I feel it is important to you as the home/pet owner to have as much communication with me as you wish. I love taking pictures and can easily update you on anything as much as you desire. My job is to make you feel confident and comfortable while you are away. If there are things that need to be tended to such as gardening, plants watered, mail retrieved, I am happy to do that as well.
I hope that the information I have provided gives you a sense of who I am and that it may help you in making your choice. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I am more than willing to provide any more information that you may need to feel comfortable in your decision.

Thank you Kelly for being the perfect house and cat sitter for Ben and Jerry, they absolutely adored you caring for them. It put my mind at rest as I was away for 7 weeks.

Kelly was in touch through out my time away, in fact on and off for 9 months before she came to Spain. She sent me pictures of Ben and Jerry very happily lazing about, and updated me regularly.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Kelly as a kind, loving and caring sitter, in fact I have already booked her for my next trip.- Organised

It's a pleasure to leave a review for Kelly who took excellent care of Mr Butler and my house and garden (with various plants to water and look after in this relatively hot weather) for my week away. Mr B was super relaxed on my return. She was also an excellent communicator before, during and after the sit. I would be very happy to have Kelly back for another sit in future.
