Hello, my name is Bobbie Reiten. My passions in life are my 2-year-old grandson, Otto, my 6 week old granddaughter, Willa, animals (particularly cats and dogs), traveling abroad, and history.
I have gained new lifelong friends and connections with various pets in new areas of the world in the three years that I have been pet and housesitting through Nomador! I work remotely and typically work on the weekdays while on a sit, so will be there taking care of your home & pets, rather than away from the home often. This works perfectly for me in Europe, as I am an insomniac and night owl, so I start my workdays there around 3pm and I'm in perfect sync with my coworkers here in the US 😀
I have four cats of my own currently, having suddenly lost the kitty love of my life, my 8-year-old Willoughby, in August 2024 and then rescuing two new kittens, Skibbereen and Tipperary, to join Willoughby's sister, Maple. Deciding that our home and my heart needed one more, we adopted wee 2-month-old Clover in June 2025. I have had cats in my family since I was in my teens. I've also grown up around dogs and had them as pets in my home. I love all animals--some of my friends call me "the critter lady," or "Snow White," because I'm always rescuing something.
I enjoy keeping my home clean and organized, and I would treat your home the same. I'm essentially a home-body, so I'll be staying at your home during the day, working from there weekday evenings, sleeping there overnight, and starting that sequence all over again. I will be curious and check out what the area has to offer on some mornings and on weekends, but I will not leave your home and pet(s) unattended for inappropriate lengths of time.
I don't drink or smoke, so neither of those would take place in your home while you are away. Any pets you have would be loved, cuddled, and cared for as if they were my own. You will return to your home in the same condition as you left it. Please read my reviews, as I take great pride in my efforts and the connections I've made through this site. I also have some reviews from a similar site that I'd be happy to share.
Thank you so much for reading my profile. I look forward to meeting you in person and caring for your home and pet(s).

Cambridge, United Kingdom - January 2026
From our first communication we knew Bobbie would be the perfect housesitter for us, communication was friendly and she kept us updated with all her travel arrangements/timings so we were re-assured that everything would run smoothly. Bobbie popped to see us the day before we left, this was great so that we had time to show her around and make sure we could answer any questions. Whilst we were away Bobbie kept in touch with us and we had updates on how Etta was doing, we returned home to a happy dog, clean house and a warm welcome from Bobbie herself. We have no hesitation in recommending Bobbie to anyone that wanted a kind, friendly, tidy housesitter.
Fresnes, France - June 2023
Bobbie is an adorable catsitter! Communicating with her before the arrival was effortless, and once she arrived, it felt like we have known her already for a while. Very kind, very patient and understanding, we enjoyed talking with her! The cats loved her, she even brought some toys for them, so we felt very reassured to leave for our vacation. Bobbie kept us frequently informed but was also independent. We would love to welcome her again and can highly recommend her!
Dungloe, Ireland - November 2022
From the moment we read Bobbie's request to sit for us we were blown away. We new right from the start she would be the perfect for us and our furry family. Bobbie provided excellent communication and we chatted back and forth in the days leading up to her arrival. This only confirmed we made the right choice. Bobbie is a true cat lover and will mind your home and your kitkats like they are her own. Bobbie is also super independent and works from home this worked perfect for us as the cats love company and are used to a stay at home human. We came back from our holiday to a warm welcome, clean and tidy home and a happy furry family. We were Lucky enough to meet Bobbie before and after our holiday and this was wonderful as we got to have some great laughs and conversation over an evening meal and really get to know one another so much that we are now firm friends :) We can not recommend Bobbie enough and we are delighted that she will be coming back to mind our little furry crew next spring. xxx

We were so lucky to have Bobbie come and look after our house and our cat while we were on vacation. She is a rock solid sitter, we had no worries at all during our trip and came home to a happy cat and a spotless house. We can really recommend Bobbie!
