Looking for a place in exchange for pet-sitting

Hi,

My name is Elena. I work as a rhythmic gymnastics coach and study at the University of Surrey. I need to stay in London for work, and since commuting to Guildford is already quite costly, I was hoping to find accommodation in exchange for pet/house sitting, some other help (I can speak Russian with children or teach gymnastics to both children and adults), or for a reduced rent.

I used to have my own pets, and since moving I really miss having them around. Over the past few years I’ve been pet-sitting abroad whenever I had the chance to travel. I’ve made great friends through it and have returned when they needed help again.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats, which is why the idea of living somewhere where I can also care for them feels perfect. I have a lot of experience, I’m comfortable with big dogs, and I can give medication if needed.

I’m clean, quiet, and respectful of other people’s space. When I'm not studying, I'm either teaching or training myself.

If you or someone you know is looking for a reliable person to stay in the home and look after pets, please let me know. I’d love to hear from you.

Thank you! 😊
