House Sitter in Sherman Oaks, California

I'm an
Individual
When you contact me, please provide dates you need someone to house sit. I am a full-time house sitter and keep a tight calendar, so it’s important that I know when you are traveling in order to respond. Also, my availability is all of California, not just Sherman Oaks. Thanks! I am a single, mature, well-traveled photojournalist/editor open to adventure and exploration in different parts of the world, and who has chosen to house and pet sit full time. As a freelance photojournalist and editor, I spend a lot of time at home, working online. When not working, I love spending time with the animals (a house without an animal is not a home, in my opinion), cooking and working outside in the garden. While out in the community, whether walking the dogs or sightseeing, I always have my cameras with me, to add to my stock photo portfolio. The pets at my house sits always end up on my blog! I have traveled extensively and this past 18 months has taken me up and down the west coast of the United States and up to remote islands of British Columbia; to South Africa, Mexico, Tahiti, Australia and New Zealand. Although I have very "itchy feet," I love having a base to venture out from, and house sitting gives me the ability, while providing peace of mind to the homeowner, who can feel confident that the pets and property will be taken care of as if they were my own. As a homeowner and landlord for many years, I am used to taking care of properties and have experienced many of the problems that can arise. And I am a capable and practical person who is comfortable handling issues as needed. I've had pets, both cats and dogs, and feel that a home without an animal is not really a home. I understand how important the animals are in people's lives. My availability starts in February 2019. I'm happy to drive the homeowners to the airport and pick them up, which is so much nicer than having to get a Uber/cab/bus/train after a long flight. And as I work online, I do need high-speed internet. My information is on file with the FBI as I am a United States naturalized citizen, and a criminal background check is required at that time. Please note I also have a very recent Global Entry clearance which included an extensive background check, so will not be applying for a criminal background check as this would be redundant. I am new to this site, and if you would like references or recommendations, I am happy to email them to you. Available via email, Skype, WhatsApp or FaceTime.
