Looking for lodging/house sitting/pet sitting Anywhere in Europe in 2024

Description

Hello my name is Ed. I love to travel and prefer to stay in one place for 30 days to get to know it a little bit. I'm retired from Mechanical Engineering, Computers and Technology, and my own online store for Organic and eco-friendly bedding and clothing. For half of my career I worked for myself. I say all this to show professionalism and decision making in my work and personal lives. I have owned three houses over 41 years and know how to care for them. And will care for yours with respect and tidiness as I always have for my own. I am a very active 73 year old who plays a lot of pickleball (a sport that started in the United States in 1965 and is now growing rapidly worldwide). I like to play 3 to 4 times a week for 2.5 to 4 hours at a time. I only say this to give you an idea of my activity level. I keep myself in good shape. Also, I don’t smoke and never have smoked. My first preference is home sitting and pet sitting (cats, birds, and fish) opportunities however I am looking for paid lodging as well. I can take care of house care, pet care, plant watering, laundry, mail collection, and trash removal. I have had a total of three cats and three dogs at various times over the years. What can I bring to your home sitting and pet sitting? All of the above - knowledge of how to care for your pets and show them attention and affection, knowledge of home ownership, and keeping a home organized and tidy. Here is a link to my profile on TrustedHouseSitters.com which includes more reviews and references from those for whom I’ve done pet sitting, includes criminal background and other checks, and be sure to click on the "read more" links (note: although the link address shows "united-kingdom" I have pet sit in many countries): https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/united-kingdom/england/london/l/419666/? Here's a link to a photo album of pets that I have taken care of: https://photos.app.goo.gl/yi38Pw3JjGqVVmKV8 Also, please see my many "character references" on my AirBNB profile: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/8138554 By the way, if you need, or have, a website in Squarespace I can create or update one for you. We can do an exchange of my service for lodging. My website: webbytraffic.com Here are a couple references for a start then review many others with the above links: “Ed loves cats (and dogs, too). He has pet sit for me many times over the years. First with Oscar, a 17 year-old sweetheart-of-a-cat that, sadly, passed away in 2020. Ed was attentive and extra affectionate with him (my cat's shy, but he loves Ed). After Oscar passed, I adopted two kittens that took to Ed instantly. Ed kept up with their crazy kitten ways and delighted in their antics. In fact, he has cat sit for me many times as Stan and Ollie have grown over their first three years. They like to snuggle with him. Ed also watered my plants (both inside and out), collected my mail, and kept the house in order while I travelled. He's tidy, kind, conscientious, thoughtful, and a wonderful house sitter. I can't recommend him highly enough!”?Vicki W, guardian of cats Oscar, Stan, and Ollie “Ed is a very reliable and detail-oriented person, capable of finding a solution to any problem that arises, and an animal lover. Ed took care of our house and pets while we traveled extensively for work over the course of two years. He communicated clearly and effectively whenever there was any problem or concern and kept the house in a clean and safe condition and our pets happy, healthy, and properly fed. I recommend Ed wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a responsible, dependable, friendly and caring companion for their furry friends.” Alison M, guardian of dog Avocado Let's Connect: Send me a message and I’ll reply within 24 hours.
