Camille

Greetings! I am relatively new to House Sitters America and very excited about the possibilities. I’m a California native but most recently spent almost a decade in Chicago. I've been on the road for almost a year now, including stints in London and Mexico City. I love to experience new places and meet new people!

I started working remotely during the pandemic and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to be mobile and travel. I’m open to all house sitting situations, but I’m mainly interested in longer-term house sits (a month or more) since I’ll be working and I like to spend time and get to know places.

I have cared for countless animals and homes over the years in the United States and abroad. In fact, I’ve accumulated a big bag of house keys over time from friends telling me to keep the keys for the next visit (a memento that I love).

My friends would describe me as very conscientious, communicative, and reliable. I treat others’ homes as I’d want mine to be treated, which means being extremely clean, quiet, and respectful of people’s spaces. I’m very dependable – when things need to get done, they get done.

While I don’t have any pets at the moment, I have had many in the past. I also wanted to go to vet school for a long time (but life took me on a different path), so I worked with animals for many years. Caring for people’s pets is a responsibility I take seriously because I know how I would want my animals cared for. I treat them as my own, and this means giving them the time and attention they need and ensuring that they’re safe, happy, and healthy. In addition, I think regular check-ins and communication in both directions are important.

Note: My homemade dog treats (see photo) have been a hit in cities across the United States, and I’m happy to make them upon request! Also, photos below of some of my many furry charges.

I have lots of references and recommendations (one example below) and would be happy to put you in touch with people whose pets and homes I have cared for.

"Finding Camille has really eased our anxiety about making sure our household is in good hands while we’re away on vacation. Camille has taken care of our home, our pets (both cats and dogs), and even our plants, and I always feel like she leaves the house in better shape than we left it! She takes such good care of everything and ensures any house-related tasks are covered. Also, our animals absolutely adore her. She’ll even find little things to improve while she’s there, like helping our cat overcome his fear of climbing the stairs. Highly recommended!"
