House Sitter in Chicago, Illinois

I've been a homeowner since I left my parents home of 6 siblings in 1992, and a landlord for almost that long as well. I consider home space sacred and can care for your place with as much attention as I would one of my own properties, to give you peace of mind while you are away. I set the tone of a home's energy at safety, function, warmth and abundance. I grew up with 2 dogs in my family and raised the female Chow Chow for 16 beautiful years. Animals naturally trust and gravitate towards me as I respect them profoundly due to my shamanic beliefs and practices which respect all beings. This will be reflected in my care and treatment of them. Continual sunshine and access to nature is essential for my personal energy levels thus am seeking house sitting opportunities during the winter months in warm climate locations. I am a reliable and low maintenance resource available to meet your home, plant and pet care needs during your absence. I am also drawing inspiration from the experience to complete the book which I authored about single, female travelers. I have 20 years of experience in owning, caring and maintaining my own home and rental properties which I manage on my own. I designed and constructed a multi-unit mixed use property and am the property manager for it as well. Aside from the experience with my own properties, I took a 3 month sabatical in 2017 where I stayed and cared for a mobile home in the PNW, which I rented. And, I'm an avid traveler with extensive global, cultural and international savvyness that's necessary to thrive in new countries which included an expat assignment in Mexico for one year. In addition to the reliable care, I bring a breath of fresh air and a positive energy to your home. My practice is to nurture appreciation for all shelter I encounter and this vibe permeates in the spaces I visit.
