Trish M.

I am Trish, a retired I.T. consultant/teacher (now a student of Greek & Spanish and motor-cycling) with over 20 years of house-sitting experience. I enjoy looking after pets, plants, gardens and homes as if they were my own with great respect for all!

I am familiar with basic house repair, swimming pool cleaning and gardening activities. I am responsible, quiet, clean and a non-smoker. House sitting gives me the opportunity to see new places as if I were a local. So, looking after the house, pets or garden is definitely fair-exchange!

I have lived in Mexico, South/Central America, Spain, Egypt, Holland, U.S.A., Malaysia and Cyprus for many years, as well as all the tropical locations we have travelled to. I am used to all kinds of tropical reptiles, snakes and so on! There are few shocks or surprises!

Why do I want to house sit

I would like to ensure that you can enjoy totally your time away from home and have peace of mind. Using simple-every-day technology, such as , , or WeChat. You could see your home and 'talk' to your pets via the internet. I can send daily updates with photos/videos if you'd like to know how your loved 'ones', plants and flowers are doing in real time.

What a wonderful option to have in life!! Who wouldn't like to be able to do this - if they could! What an opportunity to make new friends all over the world while at the same time seeing new places ensuring that the homeowners can enjoy their well-earned break away having peace of mind! This is priceless!

My experience

I have experience of what it's like to be away, wondering how things are back home, I appreciate your concerns & would strive to put your mind completely at peace!

I have been involved in many changes of location throughout the world. This afforded me much experience in dealing with apartment/house maintenance, analyzing water leaks, lack of power, infestation and general issues; calling in the best people to resolve any situation and/or fixing it myself

I am professional, mature, and caring – a nature lover and I love and respect all 'beings'. I have some previous experience in house sitting and I know what I would expect from someone house sitting for us - so I would give the same in return!

I am very fit, as I do yoga, and Pilates and I also walk a lot. This enables me to be active with the pets, should they wish, and to maintain my energy level! I am taking motor-cycle lessons and enjoy studying Greek and Spanish, rollerblading & trampolining amongst other hobbies.
