60, writer

I'm a freelance writer who enjoys travel and have visited 34 countries. I love exploring and want to experience other communities while helping you ensure your property is safe and well cared-for. I have a lot of energy so I won't be on your sofa eating bon-bons -- although I love chocolate!. If you have a bike for me to utilize while there, that is a huge bonus for me.
I have the freedom to travel and be away from home in the Florida Keys.
I've been dog- and cat-sitting for a few years now and twice cared for horses (5 in Memphis; 2 in France). I also pet-sit via Rover.com. I enjoy the pets' companionship and meeting the owners. I regularly stay in the pet's/owners' homes and that has been enjoyable.
As a teen, I was a fearless youth hosteler traveling all over Europe solo on my bike for months on end. Wanderlust is ever-present and I look forward to exploring while taking the best care of your precious home/property and pets.

Jill's care of my dog and my home while I was away exceeded all of my expectations. She followed all of my instructions, kept me updated on my dog, made sure he was exercised each morning before the hot temperatures of the day. I returned to a tidy, clean house also...what a treat! I felt confident leaving my dog and home in her hands; because of her, I was able to enjoy each moment of my time away without a shred of worry. I would enlist her help again without hesitation!

We can't thank Jill enough for doing such a fantastic job taking care of Harley, our 100 lb lab, who she took on daily walks & sent us pictures. Our 16 yr old cat Libby is still crying that she is gone. Jill is so friendly and personable. We also told her that she could invite her college age son to visit while she was here. Gus was so nice also that either one can come back any time. You would be very fortunate to have JILL take care of your pets & house.

Jill agreed to house sit and we had comunication - phone calls, email, video chat. In advance of her stay I shared mutliple page notes on animal care and house info. She arrived after I left and before I came home. The cats were okay and the house was tidy. Other agreed upon and discussed tasks (approx 1/2 hr/day) were not performed. Most importantly, chickens had no water when I returned and were not given feed all week (new feed bag not used). Plants in the small greenhouse were dry and ... MORE

Not trustworthy. Initially things were fine, had a 30 min call to see if we were a good fit and exchanged emails. We settled on her arriving the day before departure so we could do a walk around. I offered to help with cost of hotel for the night. A week later Jill informs me she is coming in 3 days early. When asked where she was staying she assumed with us despite me saying multiple times we had a one bedroom house. This was frustrating as it required awhile to straighten out but we did work ...

JAY ( Idaho, Mar 2023 - 3 weeks)
The home is advertised as a two-bedroom, 1 bath house, so there was unfortunate miscommunication about the homestay due to that. As for “she-said, she-said,” above, it is awkward to respond to any accusation because I am truly unaware of any broken appliances. This is the first time something like ... MORE
Jill was a nice person and I felt I could trust her. I don’t intend to go into all the items I was not especially happy with as it would sound a little petty. It was really just a number of inconsequential things, but the glaring error on her part was the extensive use of my car when I had specifically said NOT to use it. When I questioned her about it, she lied. Bottom line is, although she is pleasant, I wouldn’t use her again.

Jill did a great job for us during our week away. From the first communication to the last she was prompt, experienced and inspired our confidence in her as a house-pet sitter. When we got home from our trip Barkley was in tip-top form and everything in the house was fine. We hope Jill will consider sitting for us again at a future date. Thank you!

Jill was a delight to have in our home! She has a sparkling personality, is willing to help in any way, and did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs, cat, and horses. She communicated clearly and often while we were away and we came home to a clean house and happy pets. I highly recommend her and hope to have her back more! I consider her a friend now. You will be lucky to have her watch your home and animals!

Jill was easy going and easy to communicate with. She loves adventure, so it was fun to tell her about things she could do in the area. She sent us a couple updates throughout the trip, so we could know our furbabies were in good hands.
