More information about this house sitter

Hello! We are Alex & Gem:
✓ caring animal-lovers
✓ work from home
✓ contactable 24/7
✓ pet photo updates
✓ active and playful
✓ clean and respectful
✓ non-smokers
✓ willing to learn
✓ take LFT for sits

We are a conscientious couple with a shared love of animals, nature and travel. We are clean, honest, respectful adults who like to laugh like kids and remain young at heart! We enjoy many activities together: board games, rock climbing, pub quizzes, yoga, sacred geometry, and plant-based cooking. Gem is diagnosed coeliac, so we are naturally very attentive and detail-oriented in our cooking, house-sitting and general lives!

We have both been loving pet owners and international house-sitters. We've cared for animals with mobility issues, blindness, history of trauma, and experienced a range of timid, quirky, or diva personalities. Gem also has previous experience with wildlife rescue, care and rehabilitation. ♡

Housesitting connects us with fellow animal-lovers and gives us a meaningful opportunity to practise being pet parents with the added bonus of satisfying our travel bug.
