House Sitter in Tacoma, Washington

When you have to go out of town, your animals don’t want to go to an expensive, boring kennel where they have anxiety and stress dealing with the huge change from their usual routine: they’d much rather stay home where they are comfortable. Hi, my name is Elise and I’m great with all animals. Reptiles still scare me, but I’m working on that. I am currently a student working towards my BA in Human Services, I have 2 daughters, and I've lived in Pierce County the majority of my 43 years. I have extensive experience with horses, dogs and cats, and I've had house/horse sitting jobs at stables with 20 horses to care for, and other jobs with no animals but long term house care. I am responsible; and capable of doing the usual, watering plants, feeding animals, bringing in mail, and if there are other tasks that need to be taken care of that’s not a problem at all. I've bred horses, worked in a restaurant, but the majority of time working was in retail, sales, and merchandising. I’ve worked as a professional house cleaner as well. I’m quite capable of making sure all tasks are done and done the way you’d like them to be done. I find that when the homeowner leaves a very detailed sheet of instructions and tasks to be done, there’s no room for error. And yes I have my own car with license and insurance as well.
