More information about this house sitter

Hello,

My name is Bridget and I am a retired children's nurse.

I have been house sitting on and off since 2008. I looked after two cats regularly for about 3 months each time, every summer for several years whilst I worked in London.

Since then I have looked after both cats and dogs a couple of times a year. This year, and now that I am free to do so, I have done quite a few sits, and explored parts of Wales.
Sitting has also enabled me to come down to London and do some photography work, which I have taken up ad hoc since retiring as a nurse

I really enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places, and house sitting allows me to do that. Plus I love having a dog or cat companion for a period of time.

I had two lovely cats of my own until they sadly died. I love having animals around.
I have looked after cats of many different temperaments over the last few years, and have dealt will both illness and disability.
I started to look after dogs about 4 years ago, and regularly spent time with two lovely Westies in Wales. We had dogs when I was growing up ( a Heinz 99, a spaniel and a sheepdog), but nursing and shift work have meant I haven't had a dog at home myself. I used to regularly look after a labrador when I worked as a nurse on the community, and have recently looked after a Dutch breed of sheepdog.

I have also had lodgers living in my own home at times and understand the anxieties when someone new moves in ! However, I am very clean, tidy and respectful and look after homes as well, if not better, than I do my own.

I have dealt with a few challenges during the time I have been house sitting, including a broken boiler in the middle if winter, faulty keys, a new brood of chicks ( very sweet, but worrisome at the time !).

I also enjoy gardening and so would be happy to look after yours whilst you are away.

I can supply references

with kind regards,
Bridget
