Jamie

Hey everyone! I am an experienced, international house/pet sitter from NZ, but also consider London and the rest of the world home. I work in educational consultancy, but spend most of my time as a writer. I typically spend the summer months in NZ followed by summer in the northern hemisphere.

I have looked after houses, cats, dogs and plants all over the world, sometimes for months at a time, on and off since I was 18, some 25 years ago. Many owners are regulars that I repeatedly return back to having built good relationships with them, their beloved pets and their much-loved homes. I have travelled extensively my entire adult life, having lived and worked all over the world (70 countries and counting!) chasing history, culture, art, nature, good food and good friends, and, of course, housesitting.

I am in my mid-40s, male, single, super tidy and non-smoking. I grew up with animals: cats, dogs, birds, fish, rabbits and guinea pigs (and I did live on a farm when I was very little), but I've not had pets of my own as an adult, so this lets me spend some quality time with our animal friends. Am also willing to do some light gardening if needed, and being a virgo, I'm super clean/tidy, so will look after your home and you will find it in the same state you left it, if not better!

Am happy to send a link to my Trustedhousesitters profile (with all 5-star reviews) as well as my Airbnb and LinkedIn profiles for more information about me. Can also provide a (clean!) criminal background check if necessary. Am happy to Zoom (or other call) anytime that suits you to discuss your needs/requirements further, or just to get to know me a bit better.
