Marek S.

I’m Marek, a 48-year-old Czech native with extensive experience in property management and animal care. As a full-time traveler and nomad, I’ve developed a lifestyle centered on responsibility, mindfulness, and genuine connections with animals.
I maintain a vegetarian diet, don’t smoke, and abstain from alcohol, which allows me to remain focused and reliable in my commitments.
Professional Background
My career has provided comprehensive preparation for housesitting responsibilities. As a journalist, international business owner, and hotel proprietor, I developed strong skills in property management, problem-solving, and service excellence. These roles taught me the importance of attention to detail and meeting high standards of care.
Living Independently
I thrive living independently and take pride in maintaining clean, well-organized spaces. An unkempt environment causes me stress, so I naturally keep homes in excellent condition. I’m content spending time at home with animals, reading, exercising, and cooking. While I appreciate having a jogging route nearby, I don’t need constant social activities or entertainment.
Communication
I communicate fluently in English and conversationally in Spanish, French, and German. Growing up in Eastern Europe, I also speak Russian if needed.
Skills and Experience
I genuinely connect with animals and enjoy outdoor work involving plants and gardens. I handle household maintenance efficiently and resolve unexpected issues promptly and effectively.
My practical experience includes:
• Managing a large city apartment while caring for two pythons (tiger and corn snake) and two mixed-breed dogs
• Owning and maintaining a house with a swimming pool and various technical systems
• Three years as a property representative in Prague, managing house and garden maintenance while regularly caring for the owner’s dog during absences
• Four years as a professional housekeeper, responsible for daily maintenance, technical problem-solving, extensive garden care, and managing five large dogs (Great Dane and family of four Central Asian Shepherds)
