House Sitter in Novato, California

Hello, My name is Kelly. I am a single Mom with lots of free time in the summer and during coveted holiday periods - basically high-travel seasons. I have worked as a housesitter, pet-sitter since I was in my teens. My favorite aspect of housesitting is hearing how wonderful my homeowner’s trip was and how nice it was “to return home better then we left it!” As an experienced housesitter in Marin and Sonoma, I have an extremely diverse knowledge base of exactly how tocare for imported stone from Italy and watering the plants that sit on them. I have experience in most home security systems, ensuring the pool is kept free of leaves before they since,how to manage all types of water systems from irrigation to 80-foot waterfalls...however, I know with each home, each homeowner has a method and specific way they like things done. I honor your wishes. Now, for the furryandnor-so-furry members of the household I love them all. I grew up with pets and have experience with animals ranging from cats and dogs to expansive koi collections and fish tanks and horses and goats! So, if you would like to have peace of mind that your home will be cared for by an experienced, caring and “aim to please” type minded persons who will adhere to all your wishes and will care and bond with your pets (including using your behavioral commands or if appropriate and requested start training your pet) please contact me, Kelly. Please note, with years of experience comes time and physical limitations. I cannot haul wood or slice your firewood for you should you request; however, I mentioned that my mission is to ensure you return from your trip to as good or better than you left it, with your approval of course, I will generally find a way to get whatever you request done! We can discuss based on the your needs if there there are any potential conflicts!
