60+ sits with 5★star reviews: I enjoy caring for pets, homes, and farms, in a manner that meets owner instructions and needs. My approach is informed by life-long expertise and experience working with diverse animals.
Sits I have completed range from country and city homes to regional farms and living off-grid, from a few days to many months. Pets I have cared for are diverse, of varying breeds, sizes, ages, personalities and needs. (They include large or strong dogs, and rescued pets.)
I ensure a pet's routine is maintained, work on training that owners identify, and administer dietary, health, or medications prescribed by owners.
I maintain the standards of cleanliness and tidiness of homes left by owners. I water plants, mow lawns, rake leaves, gather produce, and maintain birdbaths, ponds and swimming pools.
More broadly, I worked at universities in diverse roles (academic, research and managerial), have travelled widely and lived regionally. I am quiet, clean and tidy, organised, fit and a non-smoker.
My confidence as a sitter is strengthened by extensive academic training and a hands-on career in the behaviour, management and care of animals.
Please find below several 5★star reviews from owners I have pet and home sat for, attesting to my being caring, clean and tidy, reliable, respectful and trustworthy.
Thank you for considering me as your sitter. I hope I can care for your pets and home or farm while you enjoy worry-free time away.
cheers,

He made sure to follow all the details of our agreement, leaving the house exactly as we had left it, and he even went the extra mile by doing some gardening while we were away.
Our dogs were clearly very ... MORE
