House Sitter
My Approach to House Sitting
My approach to house sitting is rooted in stewardship, discretion, and respect for the established rhythm of each home. Your home is not just a property—it’s a carefully maintained environment with routines, systems, and standards that matter. My goal is to step in seamlessly, preserving the look, feel, and flow of the household exactly as it functions when you are present.
Rather than treating house sitting as simple oversight, I approach it as attentive, proactive care. This includes maintaining cleanliness, monitoring systems, coordinating with service providers as needed, and addressing small issues before they become disruptions. I pay attention to how spaces are used, how pets are cared for, and how the home is typically maintained—so nothing feels chaotic or out of place upon your return.
Above all, I prioritize trust, consistency, and clear communication. Families can travel knowing their home is being cared for with the same level of thoughtfulness and responsibility they would expect from a long-term house manager. I am more than happy to schedule video or audio check-in calls, to keep you connected to your home while you’re away. When you return, the intention is simple: your home feels calm, familiar, and fully in rhythm—just as you left it.
