After working in financial institutions, six years ago I changed course and started trading crypto. It's allowed me independence and to pet/house sit which I enjoy. It's pretty accurate to say the delight I had with animals as a kid hasn't changed much over the years, I admit to often watching creature videos (cat and dog mostly) for sheer viewing pleasure and wonder. Since I'm now pet free, I relish sitting for others' fur babies. I've been a sitter from LA as a base, but discovering House ... Read moreAfter working in financial institutions, six years ago I changed course and started trading crypto. It's allowed me independence and to pet/house sit which I enjoy. It's pretty accurate to say the delight I had with animals as a kid hasn't changed much over the years, I admit to often watching creature videos (cat and dog mostly) for sheer viewing pleasure and wonder. Since I'm now pet free, I relish sitting for others' fur babies. I've been a sitter from LA as a base, but discovering House Sitters America conveniently allows me to visit areas I've been curious about.

As a kid I adored my high-strung lil shih-poo, but to my chagrin after sitting a German shepherd for a season, the breed stole my heart. Between being a "dog or cat" person though, I'm solidly on the fence. My affection for a growing range of critters lately includes opossums. Animal charm runs the gamut as well as needs and personalities. It's rewarding to love and win the affections of these lil family members,

I could highlight my qualities as a sitter, i.e., responsible, reliable, resourceful, listens and communicates well, caring, meets pet's individual needs, respectful, easy-going, clean, quiet, etc., but ultimately I bring the best of care to your pets and property so as owners and "parents", you have peace of mind while away.

Heather is one of those people you feel like you've known all your life. She's so warm, open, and caring. We had a little time to spend together before we left for our trip and did some fun things together. I really enjoyed her company. She adored Luke our whippet and I knew she really missed him when we left for our trip with him. She's extremely conscientious about taking care of your home while you're away, so you can go away without any worries. You will be very happy with Heather as ...

Heather house-sat for me twice, and I’m grateful we crossed paths. From the moment she met my dog, Sunshine, it was clear Heather is experienced & truly cares. Sunshine is a sweetheart but has separation anxiety & needs constant companionship. Heather was fantastic—she showered her with tons of love, planned outdoor adventures, park playdates & indoor games so she never felt lonely—I could tell Sunshine missed her afterward! Heather also took great care of my home: watered my plant, ... MoreHeather house-sat for me twice, and I’m grateful we crossed paths. From the moment she met my dog, Sunshine, it was clear Heather is experienced & truly cares. Sunshine is a sweetheart but has separation anxiety & needs constant companionship. Heather was fantastic—she showered her with tons of love, planned outdoor adventures, park playdates & indoor games so she never felt lonely—I could tell Sunshine missed her afterward! Heather also took great care of my home: watered my plant, coordinated a maintenance issue, and sent lots of photos & videos so I had peace of mind. When my return was delayed she adjusted her schedule without hesitation and even prepared dinner. I highly recommend Heather for anyone needing a reliable, caring housesitter—Sunshine and I can’t wait to have her back!

Heather is incredibly kind and responsible. She took fantastic care of my kittens and plants while I was away. I was able to truly enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were in her loving care. She provided photos and videos, and was very responsive. Heather is thoughtful, very clean, and went out of her way to prepare delicious meals when I returned. With this sit I not only met someone very reliable, but also made a new friend. I feel very blessed that God crossed our paths.
I’m so glad we met Heather! She is a lovely person & from the first conversation, it was clear that she had our cat’s best interests at heart. Our situation was complex. We were leaving for a month & we had one female cat (who has been my sidekick for almost two decades) and a male kitten who unexpectedly came into our lives just a couple months prior. Providing individualized care and love to each cat is no easy task since they’re so different from one another. Heather rose to the occasion and ... MoreI’m so glad we met Heather!

We are so happy with how everything turned out. The kitties are healthy & happy, the plants are luscious, & the house was cared for. We couldn’t be happier! The icing on the cake is that I now consider Heather a friend. Thank you so much Heather! We are forever grateful for you. <3
