House Sitter in Savannah, Georgia

My name is Melissa. I am a born and raised Minnesotan. And that has made me a pretty tough, yet adaptable person. I started travelling about 3 years ago. I spent time on the West coast before heading abroad to Czech Republic, Italy and Taiwan. I recently left Charleston, SC to start this house sitting adventure in the States. I am on my third assignment with families that I have met through this sight. I am so excited that I am back on the road seeing more of this great nation. I am currently in Savannah, Ga on a long term (6 month) sit ending mid October. I teach English as a Foreign language online to students in China and am looking to maintain my position throughout my travels, which requires a stable internet connection. I am also a licensed massage therapist and if a longer term sit opportunity became available I would seek to obtain a license and a position at a local organization. I am well acquainted with the needs of cats, dogs, and birds. I grew up with cats and raised a couple of birds. I have house sat for 2, 3 year old German Shepards for 5 weeks and 3 doxies, a lab, and a cat for a 10 days. My current sit has me in more of a 'house manager' position. Watching mail, watering plants, and keeping the lawn mowed. I am aware that every animal and job has different requirements and look forward to talking with you about what your special friend needs. While I am flexible, I am aware of the routines many animals depend on and the necessity of maintaining a consistent discipline structure for an animals well being. As well as making a transition to and from me, the house sitter, smooth. I don't have much experience with other types of animals, but I follow directions really well and am willing to be trained to care for other types of animals as there is need and as an owner feels confident in giving me the knowledge to do the job well. My goal for the house sit is to experience. I love to connect with new people and places and expand in as many different directions as possible. I am spiritual and am also looking to take some time to meditate, practice yoga and reflect. I am responsible, reasonable and ready to take on the care of your beloved animals and home! If you have any questions please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!
