favoriteWhy I love house sitting

As I am currently a Digital Nomad I appreciate the sense of home without the long term commitment of being a homeowner. I love animals but my travel
Schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own. Pet sitting is the next best thing!

Hello
I am a mature professional working Canadian.
I can work from anywhere with strong wifi and have been travelling and working remotely for a few years.
I love Canada in all seasons but winter.
I am an available for a long term (3 weeks to 2+ months) housesitting arrangement in the Greater Toronto Area preferably in the downtown or east end.
I am trustworthy and happy to provide written and verbal references.

We are happy to strongly recommend Jan to anyone looking for a house or pet sitter!
