House and Pet Sitting

A little bit about me: I am a responsible 31-year old (non-smoking/drinking) female with decades of experience with cats, dogs, horses, and years of experience with fowl, alpacas, and aquariums. I have been house sitting for over 10 years. I am dedicated to meeting yours and your animals needs while you enjoy your time away. This includes overnight stays with your furry friends or daily check-ins on your home. My daily base rate for house sitting is $35/day, pet sitting is $50/day, farm sitting is $80/day - please note, my rates for pet and farm sitting vary depending on the number of animals, level of care required, location of residence, and duration of stay. I work remotely 3 days a week and in-person twice weekly (9-5), and am a full-time master’s student in a distance program, so my schedule is generally quite flexible. I primarily offer house sitting to clients in the Cowichan Valley, but will consider clients outside of this region as well. If you wish to speak with me further, please send me an email with the following information: Your name and contact information, dates of travel, number of animals, and a brief description of their care needs. I will respond within 48 hours. If it is a good fit, we will arrange a "meet and greet" and go from there. My current availability includes: September 15th - 30th October 1st - 16th, 27th - 31st November 1st - 10th December 1st - 21st, day sitting available only from December 22-31st. Please note, I am unable to accommodate overnight stays the week of Christmas and New Years, but I can do day visits. Feel free to message me about stays in the New Year, just know that I may be unable to commit to them at this time. I look forward to speaking with you! Emily
