I am a house sitter and pet sitter that also writes! Whenever I take on a new home, and whenever I meet some new animal buddies, I inform the homeowner this is what I do on the side. So it's really a win/win! I have a very reasonable rate because not only do I get to hang out with somebody's fur-babies, I also get to write and create in some of the most amazing places in southern Oregon. My clients are very private, which I always honor, but I know they will give excellent references for me upon request.
