More information about this house sitter

Nervous about letting a stranger into your home? Look no further. This sitter with heart will look after your home and pets like they are my own.

About
Hello! It's very nice to meet you! I'm a trustworthy, reliable, resourceful, and mature person with years of TLC sitting experience. I'm a seasoned traveller and nomad, so adjusting quickly and easily to new surroundings is normal for me. I'm from Toronto, Canada, but mobile as my job is remote.

Note that I am allergic to smoke and scent-sitive.

I do not have a car, so more urban locations where I can get around easily via walking/public transport is ideal.

Why I want to house sit
I want to house sit as I'm wishing to have new adventures. This includes travelling and meeting new people. I'm looking forward to sharing some quality time with pets! Cuddles included. I'm the type of person that just feels better with pets around. I also want to reduce my costs for a few years so that I can buy my own property.

My experience
I have 10+ years of professional experience house and pet sitting. I was the go-to sitter for friends, friends of friends, coworkers, and family. So much so, that I was I was able to give up my apartment and go from assignment to assignment for the last couple of years I was in Canada (with some travelling in between).

My sitting experience includes looking after homes in all seasons, gardening/work outdoors including grass cutting and shovelling snow, starting and moving vehicles, gathering mail and receiving packages, putting out the garbage/recycling/compost, looking after indoor plants, and animal care for pets in all stages of life--even in critical care. I've had cats of my own and have been a foster mother to cats and dogs.

Some people I sit for wish for me to update them weekly on their pets and home, others want no updates. Whatever you wish! I treat a home and pets like they are my own--with love and respect.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please also see my Trusted Housesitters profile which includes references and my 5-star reviews. Search "arlene toronto trusted housesitters". Thank you! Read more...
