-------------------------------SERVICES--------------------------------- GARDEN / HOME Maintenance weeding, pruning, grooming. All electric or hand tools. I don't have a truck so I can't do haul away. Basically, housekeeping for your garden, hardscapes and pots decorative pots! Detail oriented and good at working with people who care about their gardens, or even garden themselves and need the extra help. I have 1.5 years experience as a residential gardener and grew up farming, and have taken classes in pruning and soil science. My housekeeping work has ranged from a multi family home that was rather finicky, to stopping by and doing just the dishes twice a week. Sometimes this has merged into elder care: there was an old lady who needed some company and sandwiches. I am open to whatever makes sense time/cost wise. ADMIN / PERSONAL ASSISSTANT / HOUSE SITTING I have done a fair amount of file organization, work documentation, etc. I have also done database building for non profits and worked at a tax office. I’m familiar with most creative and office software. My background is in art, and in the course of fabricating/restoring art for people I ended up doing a lot of organization, from arranging international shipping and crating to photographers, fulfillment, project tracking, billing, etc. I have all the skills necessary to water plants and feed cats. Open to house sitting gigs! References upon request. RESTORATION / REPAIR Technically I’m an artist by trade, but yes, I’ve done a lot of jobs and acquired so many other skills while art-ing. My mfa was in sculpture, and I worked as a 3D art restoration tech. I can fill and match most surfaces from wood, ceramic, plaster, plastic, even some glass and metal. I can repair or refinish furniture and frames, as well as various cloth and fabric/clothing. Do you want the moth holes in your sweater embroidered to look like flowers? Does the two hundred year old oval frame that's totally irreplaceable have molding missing? Welp, today is your lucky day! Please send me your strange project, it will make my day. Other skills: Cooking and sewing. Let me know if you need a cheap tailor and fresh bread. lolSee more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is house sitting?

A house sitter watches your house while you are away for work or vacation, or if you have to be away for an extended period. House sitters can also provide pet-sitting services, staying in your home and caring for your pet while you are away. The house sitter can say overnight in your home while you’re gone, or stop by once a day to ensure everything is in order if your pet doesn’t need overnight supervision. Reptiles and most cats are just fine with daily visits and feeding.

House sitting provides major advantages to the homeowner. A regular presence in your house deters break-ins and theft. Home safety issues such as water leaks get noticed and dealt with right away, so you don’t come home to big problems. A house sitter can bring in your mail daily, care for your houseplants, and provide home safety and peace of mind.

How do I find a reliable house sitter?

House sitting can help keep your home safe and well cared for so you can be worry-free while you’re away for work or play. There are several steps you can take to make sure you hire a trustworthy house sitter and do your part to be a responsible host. One of the best ways to ensure a safe home is to hire a professional house sitter. Here are some key points to look for when hiring a house sitter:

  • Reviews and referrals: When searching for a house sitter, always read reviews. Previous experiences will indicate how the house sitter will care for your home while you’re away.
  • Contract: Sign a clearly written contract outlining services to be provided (e.g., mail in each day by 5 p.m.), the daily rate you are paying, and how long the services will be provided. You can also include any agreed-upon house rules in the written contract.
  • Your part: Leave important phone numbers (vet, emergency contact, etc.) and information on where to find emergency items like the circuit breaker and the fire extinguisher, and have a credit card on file with the veterinarian in case of emergencies if the house sitter is watching your pets.
