Currently house sitting in Tucson, AZ
Available again Dec 2019

Milli Thornton, full-time reliable house sitter with references and police check (505) 234-4156.

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.

My car on the way to a house-sitting job

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)
  • I don’t bring any kids or pets with me
  • Quiet lifestyle (no drugs or parties)
  • I don’t invite people over or tell them your name or address

“Hi Milli – Just wanted to thank you again for being such a terrific house sitter and Murphy companion. All was well and perfect when I arrived home on Friday.
Cheers – CeCe [Santa Fe homeowner]”
