favoriteWhy I love house sitting

It affords a little diversity in every day life and a chance to visit places. I like meeting new dogs and cats as each has their own distinctive personality. I know from experience that they miss their owners when gone and need loving care.

I have stayed with numerous people all types of varied households & homes and have been told I am a "perfect" guest and cleanly. I will take excellent care of your home, pets, plants & property. I will ensure that your home is well-cared for in your absence.

I love national parks & state parks, walks, hiking and animals. Should you wish for me to walk your dog or take him/her on excursions I would be happy to. With House Sitters America I am looking to expand my house-sitting opportunities beyond friends and family. A friend recommended this site and suggested it is right up my alley. I am happy to provide references.

I have two adult daughters who love to check out cofeee shops and do outdoor yoga. I was born and raised in California and did lots of camping on the west coast.

I have managed giving my pets vaccines myself and used to work at a vet clinic (years ago). Also, my grandfather was a veterinarian & I spent many hours helping at the clinic after school caring for the boarders. It was a small town and we got to know a ton of owners & pets! Also, in early years I lived on a wild life center doing many hours of animal care & chores for numerous types of wildlife. I have done some wildlife volunteering as an adult.

Sonja took great care of the house and my cat. Extremely attentive and responsible housesitter.
We had a wonderful experience with Sonja. Our dog was well cared for, happy, and comfortable while we were away, and it gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. Communication throughout the stay was excellent, and we appreciated the reliability, attentiveness, and genuine care shown for both our pet and our home. We would happily recommend Sonja and would gladly book her again in the future.
