Currently house sitting in Tucson, AZ
Available again Dec 2019

Hello. My name is Milli Thornton and I’ve been house sitting in various U.S. locations since Oct 2014. I’ve been a full-time house sitter for 4 of those years.

I’m a live-in, long-term house sitter: 1 month and longer. After my current Tucson gig is complete (Dec 2019), I’ll be focusing on California, especially the Pacific Coast area from Santa Cruz to Monterey Bay to Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Under my pen name Crystal Gabrielle, I’m the author of House Sitting Secrets Revealed: Learn to excel at house sitting from a successful full-time house sitter.

I’m successful because I know how to put myself into the shoes of the homeowner (you!) and see things from your perspective. I’m caring and conscientious. Why? Because I want you to be happy when you get back from your travels and walk in your front door.

I’m a house sitter with references and police check. Instead of impersonal email references, I can offer lively references from happy homeowners who will speak to you by phone.

I’m also a writing coach with glowing testimonials from my writing clients.

Here are the qualities I bring to house sitting:

• Friendly & easy for homeowners to deal with
• Friendly with your neighbors
• Highly security-conscious
• Warm and loving with pets
• Astute at noticing repair issues
• Fast at getting repairs handled
• Homebody who enjoys staying home
• Very organized (I never lose keys or forget important dates)

Yep, I have my own car! Seen on the way to a house-sitting job in California.

Here are some house-sitter issues you won’t have to worry about:

• Non-smoker. Rarely drink alcohol.
• I have my own reliable vehicle (2016 Nissan Juke)

• Quiet lifestyle (no drugs or parties)
• I don’t invite people over or tell them your name or address
