Calm, mature animal lover

More information about this house sitter

Hi, I’m Marika. Friends tell me I'm reliable, calm and caring. I'm a mature woman with a genuine love of animals and respect for other people’s homes and privacy.

I’m quite house-proud, clean and organised by nature, and I enjoy creating peaceful, well cared for spaces. I'll notice when things need doing and I take pride in leaving homes tidy, cared for and running smoothly.

I love dogs especially and as a SFR, have all the time in the world for walks, games, playtime and cuddles. I am comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines. High energy? Let's go for a run! Low maintenance? Get ready for belly scritchin 😊

I understand that pets are family members and I treat them with warmth, patience and kindness, and will provide photo updates and video calls as needed. 😉

I’m a non-smoker/drinker, very responsible, and live a fairly quiet, grounded lifestyle. I enjoy nature, walking, music, reading, cooking, stretching, sunshine and peaceful environments. I’m comfortable in both rural and suburban settings and happy caring for gardens, plants and general property upkeep where needed.

I have a background in customer service and supporting people, so communication, reliability and respect are very important to me.

At this stage of life I’m intentionally creating a simpler, more peaceful lifestyle, and house/pet sitting feels like a lovely fit for both my personality and values.

I understand how much trust is involved in leaving someone with your home and beloved pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Read more...
