favoriteWhy I love house sitting

While creating this profile, I'm currently housesitting for a beautiful boxer and pit bull mix named champ. This makes me happy and I've come to realize sometimes the best careers aren't found--they find you. I absolutely love what I do.

Hi! Life long animal lover here.. I’m a former private chef turned house sitter and currently a dog trainer student With my children grown and a life of ease, house and pet sitting gives me exactly what I love most — purposeful connection, beautiful animals, and the privilege of caring for someone’s most important things while they’re away.

I care for cats and dogs full time which allows me to be very flexible when it comes to your sitting needs.

I’m a former private chef turned house sitter and currently a dog trainer student With my children grown and a life of ease, house and pet sitting gives me exactly what I love most — purposeful connection, beautiful animals, and the privilege of caring for someone’s most important things while they’re away.

I care for cats and dogs full time which allows me to be very flexible when it comes to your sitting needs.

I bring something most sitters can’t offer — a lifetime of experience caring for others, a professional standard built from years in hospitality and culinary arts, and a genuine love for animals that goes beyond a side hustle.

As an empty nester my energy is calm, clean, and completely focused on whoever — and whatever — is in my care. No small children, no chaotic schedules, no distractions are part of my daily lifestyle. When your pets are with me they have my full attention, my full presence, and the kind of unhurried care that only comes from someone who actually wants to be there.

What you can expect from me:

— A hospitality-trained professional who treats your home with the same respect she’d want for her own

— Consistent communication — updates, photos, and check-ins so you can actually enjoy your time away.

— A calm, experienced presence for animals of all temperaments — I understand animal behavior, I read energy well, and I don’t rattle easily--I'll be learning delving more into professional certified dog training and animal behaviorist soon. Did I mention that, "I love this lifestyle?" I do. — Someone who genuinely loves this and animals — not as a gig, but as a natural extension of who I am.

Currently I've been spending a lot of time in the Chandler/Gilbert AZ area where I once lived. I am reliable, discreet, warm, and deeply committed to the trust you place in me when you hand over your keys.

Your home and your animals will be in good hands. That’s not a promise I make lightly.
