More information about this house sitter

I’m a traveler who has looked after homes and pets in Colombia, Germany, and Canada (I hold citizenship in all three 🇨🇴🇨🇦🇩🇪), mostly for friends who trusted me with both their space and their animals. I treat every home with care and keep things clean, calm, and well organized.

I’ve had animals around me my entire life. My parents are biologists and worked with rescued wildlife in Colombia, so I grew up caring for everything from dogs and cats to much less common animals. Monkeys, llamas, peacocks, parrots, owls, boas constrictors, alligators, tarantulas. You name it. Because of that, I get along well with all animals. I know how to read them, respect their boundaries, and adapt to their needs and routines.

I’m also a daily Vipassana meditator. Pets, especially cats, often seem drawn to quiet, grounded moments, and many have loved sitting or purring beside me while I meditate 🧘 🐈.

House sitting allows me to slow down, live simply, and experience a place from a local perspective, while giving homeowners peace of mind that their pets and home are in good hands.

I genuinely love caring for other people’s homes and pets. I’ve had house and pet sitters care for my own home and pets, and it makes me happy to share space and animals with people who treat them with care and respect. I will look after your home and pets as if they were my own 🧡. Read more...
