However, if I've applied to sit for your pets and home, thanks for reading my profile. I'd like to pet-sit for you so you can enjoy your time away from home without worrying about the welfare of your non-human companions. I am an Australian living in Boston where I work as a professor and have a great home with two beautiful Siamese rescue kitties (brothers). I'm a non-smoking, super tidy woman, and use Trusted Housesitters to find great pet-sitters for my cats when I need to travel, as well as pet-sit for others.
I need to travel periodically and I also love to travel. When I do, I always miss my own cats, so if I can combine travelling with caring for your animals it will help us both.
I have found great pet-sitters for myself on this site and have a good sense of what someone is looking for in a pet-sitter. I have also done quite a few pet-sitting assignments for friends and colleagues over the years (including one beautiful Collie dog who only understood Swedish instructions). I will put your pets' needs first, will be reliable in caring for them and your home, am honest and trustworthy. I am also very detail-oriented and will follow your instructions to a tee, but I will know what to do if something unexpected happens. My cats both have health issues (struvite crystals and tooth resorption) for which they have had emergency diagnoses, surgeries and special diets over the years, so I have plenty of experience with administering meds. I have also sat for an elderly dog that had a chronic eye infection which I cleaned and administered drops daily, and I would be equally comfortable caring for your animals that need medical attention (even an emergency) or have a special diet.
While I generally pet-sit as a single, my boyfriend (also a non-smoking professor and an animal lover) may ask to join me, and if that's the case I will clear it with you first.
Having Nardia as a Housesitter was lovely. She is a great person. We enjoyed having her in the house because she has a great spirit. She was very helpful, tidy, responsible and most of all she was very loving to our old dog. When we arrived home Chiquis was very happy and it looked as if she didn´t miss us at all. Also the plants where watered and the house was shining. Thanks Nardia.
I have rated Nardia all 5 stars + in every way. She is a lovely, genuine professional lady and our home was left spotless and almost like no one had been here. I have to tell you that Franke went looking for you the other day when we came home from visiting friends. As soon as the front door opened he ran down to your room and I think was disappointed you weren't there. I really appreciate your efforts in looking after Franke. I'm sorry we didn't get to say goodbye. Nardia also kept us up-to-date with messages.
If you require a pet and house sitter I would not look any further than this top lady.
Nardia was terrific. She sat for my cat, and was very responsive, sending text updates and photos. Nardia is communicative, open, responsible, easy to relate to and sensitive to the needs of both the pet and their parent. I felt my 13 year old kitty was in very good hands. Thanks Nardia.
Nardia's cat/housesit was wonderful. Apartment was as described, tidy and comfortable, and was in a great location in Boston. Her cats were beautiful, peaceful, and easy to care for. All went as planned and I would definitely sit for her again! I would also welcome her as a pet sitter in my home.
Nardia is a wonderful pet and homeowner, she made the experience stress free and was very welcoming. My husband and I had a great first time pet/housesitting experience with her two Siamese boys who are very well taken care of. The boys were both friendly and good natured. Her apartment was clean, tidy and comfortable to stay in. If you enjoy cats and exploring; cities, shops and galleries this would be a perfect pet/house sit for you.
I enjoyed sitting for Nardia. Her apartment was immaculate as were her two beautiful Siamese cats, who were a joy to be with. The cats are very well taken care of by Nardia, she is very loving and committed to them. Her apartment was very clean and tidy and very convenient, in a safe neighborhood with a consierge at the entrance of the building. There is a subway station across the street and a Starbucks right around the corner, and a Whole Foods 10 minutes walking distance. My husband and I enjoyed walking to Chinatown for dim-sum on Saturday. Nardia was very responsive to all my inquiries. Her bed was very comfortable. And the two cats are very sweet and very well behaved and happy. We are thankful to Nardia for this very pleasant experience.
Nardia, is a very kind, generous person and knows how to put you at ease. The boys, Siamese cats are adorable and so loving, I already miss them! Her condo is very comfortable and I really enjoyed being able to use her bike, it was very nice of her to lend me. I sincerely hope to return again one day. Thank you, Nardia for your confidence !
I originally met Nardia through the TrustedHouseSitters site and have stayed in her home with her two adorable cats twice now. She's always very organized with all pertinent information written down ahead of time and all necessary supplies on hand.
Nardia is crazy about her cats, which are brothers that she adopted from a shelter. They are obviously well loved and cared for.
I'd not hesitate to recommend Nardia's home to any petsitter, nor would I hesitate to have Nardia stay in my home with my pets or recommend her to others.
