House Sitter in Eugene, Oregon
I'm an
Individual
I am willing to house sit long term or just go by periodically to check on things, bring in mail, water plants, and dust before you get home. I have experience raising chickens (I had my own for 10 years!), dogs tend to love me (I volunteered with Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary as a dog walker for years!) and cats ... well.. I am a Leo! Im not afraid to put on my muck boots to care for your livestock.
I have experience pet sitting rescue animals who needed medication and lots of attention, a rescue pig, and donkeys. I lived on a peacock farm in Hawaii with "the three asses of Ninole" and was very comfortable feeding and watering large animals (donkeys) and had fun feeding and spritzing the many love birds. I walk 2-3 miles a day and am comfortable walking your dog on a leash or going to a dog park or trail. I own a small SUV that fits most animal carriers.
I have been an educator for 25 years. I am fingerprinted with the state of Oregon and Hawaii. I have a current background check and clean driving record. I am currently a substitute teacher and am vetted to work with children in the schools.
I am also a single parent. My 13 year old grandson (scout, mountain biker, a reader & animal lover) will come with me for long term jobs. He is gentle and kind to animals and will help exercise and cuddle them.
I am drug free, a non-smoker, an omnivore (but I will respect vegan and vegetarian homes and not consume animal products if that is your wish). I have no drama in my life. I try to be fragrance free but I do, on occasion, use soaps with essential oils or natural scents.
I am a person that you can count on: super reliable, honest, communicative, and attentive.
I do not yet have recommendations on my profile. I am new to this web service. I am happy to give you references to email or call. . In Ashland, I house sat over Christmas for chickens, a cat & a guinea pig and had to shovel out the chickens when it snowed. Another job allowed me to house sit for 7 weeks when the couple traveled to Italy.. I lived in their home and cared for their cat. The previous year, I stayed in their home for 3 weeks and another time, I simply went twice a day to feed their cat and check on things. This was a two year relationship but the wife passed away and the husband can still give you a reference.
I also house sat twice for about a week each time -- also in Ashland, OR, two more families with cats to care for...
and in Hawaii I lived on a peacock farm and in exchange for reduced rent, I cared for the donkeys, pig, and birds (and weed whacked/ mowed!).
All these people can give you a reference via phone or email.
