Hi! I’m Taylor, but you can call me TJ. I love helping people feel at ease while they’re away from home. Whether you're heading off on a vacation, a work trip, or just need someone to keep an eye on things, I’m here to make sure your home—and everything in it—is safe, cared for, and just as you left it. I treat every home I look after with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. From bringing in the mail and watering your plants, to loving on your pets and keeping things tidy, I take pride in the little details that make a big difference. Clients often tell me how reassuring it is to know someone friendly, responsible, and thoughtful is looking after things. I truly enjoy this work, and it shows. I value transparency, integrity, & trust so I will always communicate so you will never have to guess about anything. If you're looking for someone you can trust to care for your home while you're away, I’d love to connect!See 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.
