favoriteWhy we love house sitting

For me, house sitting is about trust. I love caring for animals, living like a local, and helping people travel worry-free. Each sit is a chance to build connection, provide reliable care, and keep pets happy and on routine so owners can relax knowing everything at home is safe.

Hi there!
I'm originally from Austria and currently spending time in Canada while completing advanced helicopter training in the Rockies. House sitting is the perfect fit for my lifestyle - opportunity to experience local communities while providing homeowners with complete peace of mind. I love caring for pets, as I can't have them myself at this stage of life.

I'm originally from Austria and currently spending time in Canada while completing advanced helicopter training in the Rockies. House sitting is the perfect fit for my lifestyle - opportunity to experience local communities while providing homeowners with complete peace of mind. I love caring for pets, as I can't have them myself at this stage of life.

I'm a quiet, respectful and very tidy person who treats every home as if it were my own. I don't smoke or drink, and much prefer an evening with a book or a hike than a night out. You can expect your home to be clean, secure and well cared for during your time away.

I've always loved animals and am very comfortable caring for cats, including those with special routines or medications. I understand how important consistency is, especially for anxious or senior pets, and I'm happy to follow detailed instructions to keep them comfortable and relaxed. Plenty of cuddles, playtime and companionship come naturally.

Being a helicopter pilot has strengthened qualities that carry over perfectly into house sitting: responsibility, attention to detail, punctuality and following procedures carefully. Reliability isn't just important in aviation—it's something I bring into every aspect of life.

I also enjoy gardening and don't mind watering plants, collecting mail, keeping everything neat, or handling the little day-to-day tasks that help your home look lived in while you're away.

Communication is important to me. I'm happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

I'd love the opportunity to look after your home and make sure you return to happy pets and everything just as you left it.

Read moreI've been caring for homes and animals around the world for several years through house sitting, property management and pet fostering. One of the most rewarding experiences has been fostering cats—helping them settle into a safe environment, building trust, and preparing them for their forever homes. This has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to care for cats with different personalities and needs.

Beyond fostering, I've looked after private homes and properties while owners were away, ensuring everything remained clean, secure and well maintained. I'm comfortable following detailed routines, administering oral medications, watering plants, collecting mail, and keeping homeowners updated with photos and messages.

I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust,

travelTravel plans

I'm in Alberta for several months completing helicopter mountain flying training. My schedule is flexible with lots of study/quiet time, making me well-suited to house sitting and pet care. I enjoy longer stays but am open to short sits, have my own vehicle, and can plan dates in advance.

Happy pets!

A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
