Kind grandmother who is responsible and reliable.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I love looking after pets and keeping a home clean and tidy.
I enjoy a comfortable convenient location

I love caring for pets, especially dogs and cats. I have also had other pets before, like bird, hamster, bunnies and fish.

I have been gaining more experience housesitting, and realize more about expenses involved.
In some cases, it seems fair to ask for travel expences and/or a per diem compensation. This would depend on location and the amount of work involved.

Pet care

I have looked after dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, reptiles and most recently, horses. The experience with horses is with assistance.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to formally commend Lorena Taraschi for her outstanding care and professionalism she provided for our pets, during our recent vacation.

Throughout the duration of our absence, Lorena demonstrated responsibility, care and attention to the many details we provided toward the care of all 3 of our pets, including 2 birds and a dog! She ensured that our pets were not only well-fed and exercised, but also that each received lots of love and attention. When we returned home after 2 weeks away, it was clear that our pets seemed happy and well-cared for....showing absolutely no anxiety with our absence.

In addition to Lorena's daily care for our pets, she kept us informed with updates and check-ins, including photos of each pet which was very reassuring for us.

I highly recommend Lorena to anyone seeking a reliable and loving pet sitter.

Thank you, Lorena, for you care for Clancy, Yoda and Zazu.

Sincerely,
Teresa Schulz

Lorena was looking after my bunnies while I was away for a few days. Communication was great (in fact we have been talking for a few months before the house sit), she kept me informed on how the bunnies were doing, and everything was great when I came back. Bunnies were happy, and she cleaned after them too. I am really happy to have met her, and I am looking forward to have her back here.
We have just returned from our first ever family vacation that would not have been able to happen if not for Lorena. As first timers of the site we had our reservations, but Lorena was amazing to work with. She accommodated a phone call meeting prior to agreeing to the house/pet sit and we even managed to meet her in person before we left. She was very communicative from the beginning and she made us fully aware of the areas she was 100% comfortable with as well as the areas she may need ...

She was very communicative from the beginning and she made us fully aware of the areas she was 100% comfortable with as well as the areas she may need clarification, either way we were very comfortable with her abilities to care for our home and pets. While we were away she remained communicative, which only helped us as we preferred communication to ease our minds both for her and our pets. I'm so glad to have met her and working with her was easy!

Lorena looked after the cats well and was interested in the horses. While she clearly loves horses, she would need more experience before taking charge of a barn. The house was left impeccably clean and communication was good. Lorena asked me if she could leave a few days before set date and I agreed that she could since I had a backup available. She seemed a little homesick after three weeks. I would use Lorena again, but for a shorter period
Garden Maintenance

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and potted plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
