Non-smoker. Rarely drink alcohol.
I don't bring my own pets or kids with me.
Experience with pool care and ponds.
Phone and references available from happy homeowners.
I'm a highly experienced housesitter with references and police check.
Because of my positive qualities, I've been a sought-after house sitter, with plenty of referrals and repeat housesits for homeowners who wanted me to come back. Here's a message I received from a happy homeowner in Santa Fe. Her kitty-cat's name is Murphy:
"Hi Milli - Just wanted to thank you again for being such a terrific housesitter and Murphy companion. All was well and perfect when I arrived home on Friday. Safe travels. See you in the fall. Cheers - [Homeowner]"
I'm a self-employed creative writing coach (64 years old), and I love living in lots of different places. I'm a non-smoker with currently no pets of my own.
I have my own reliable vehicle (Nissan Juke) and I can drive your pets to the vet if need be.
I'm friendly and easy to get along with, so your neighbors will easily like and trust me. Visit my site (see clickable link above) to read more about me as a house sitter.
People often comment on how organized I am. I don't change anything about the way your home is set up: instead, I use my organizational skills to take care of things the way you like them to be. I don't lose keys and I don't forget important dates.
Animals like me and gravitate to me. I'm gentle and I've owned skittish pets before so, if you have one, I understand how to move quietly, get down on their level and gain their trust.
I'm a homebody. I like hiking and being on the beach but I enjoy spending a good share of my time at home. I don't usually go out much in the evenings (unless there's some live music nearby!) so for security purposes your home will look well and truly occupied from the outside, and your pets will have plenty of company.
I will treat your home with tender loving care and keep in touch with you (if you want me to) to let you know that all is well. I'm happy to send photos of your pets and give as much (or as little) detail as you wish in my daily or weekly reports.
