More information about this house sitter

"Delivers above and beyond what is asked of her"
(from an Employer's reference)

Car Owner. Fully Covid Vaccinated. Semi retired. Married. UK Citizen. Non Smoker.

"Shirley was lovely. Friendly warm, reliable & looked after Poochie really well, not just feeding but spending time with her and making her feel cared for. Shirley stayed an extra night with us when we returned from our trip. It was lovely to get to know her better. She was great with my daughter and would be always welcome to stay with us again whether we need a sitter or if she is just in town. Thank you Shirley for giving us peace of mind Poochie was being taken care of. All the best and keep in touch!"
RACHEL (Frome, 2018)

“Our family has been very happy with the care and attention Shirley gave our cat and our house while we were away. Shirley is amazing. She's reliable, trustworthy, security-conscious, responsible, and most of all, she is loving and caring for our cat. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for house or pet sitting services”.(Home Owner, 2019)

"Shirley is lovely and we hope there will be further opportunities when she might be able to return to look after our two labs & the house. She left everything immaculately". (Alastair, 2018)

I’m a creative, organised, chatty person who loves to try new places and experiences. Depending on what's required, I can do housesits on my own, sometimes my husband Colin comes along too for all or part of the sit. Happy to consider either although won't consider any sit involving pets sleeping in our bedroom.

We love cycling & I've lead cycling groups on rides where I've had responsibility for safe route planning and ensuring safety of the group.

Lucky to have had career which allowed me to combine creative skills along with love of travel. As a Design Consultant, work has spanned publishing, design, textile research& jewellery design. I’m known for attention to detail & excellent communication.

My grown up kids will soon be off to pursue their dreams so husband Colin & I have moved to Suffolk having spent a year here trying it out (and loving it).

My parents were breeders of Pedigree Spaniels, so I’ve grown up looking after dogs. So much overseas travel has made it tricky to have a dog of my own, but we’ve done plenty of looking after pets of family & friends. Cats,dogs, fish, & chickens mainly. Experience with larger dogs too -high energy Vizsla, working Gundog Labs, crazy cockerpoos, terriers and plenty of cats!

I’ve worked with high end jewellers where I had responsibility for managing both stock & shop. Extracts from references: "Extremely organised, professional & efficient". "Calm but intelligent approach is invaluable".

Looking forward to seeking out all the lovely things about your part of the country…Thank you for your interest. Read more...
