"Emma and Stevi are perfect housesitters. They came over to meet the animals and have a chat before we went away; this really put our minds at ease. We were struck by how calm and competent they are.
While we were away we received updates, including a picture of a happy Beaver cat sitting on Emma's lap! This was on day one of our trip; Beaver didn't even look at my lap for at least two weeks when I first met him, so Emma clearly has a great way with animals!
When we got back the cats, chickens and fish were happy and well looked after, and the house was neat and tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma and Stevi, and would definitely use them again for future sits."

"Emma and Stevi were our ideal housesitters.
They loved our Nellie, and she loved them right back.
Not only did they lavish their care and attention on Nellie, they looked after our home really well too. We do airbnb here and they took that over for us happily while we were away, we got great feedback from the guests they looked after.
If they weren't living in Bristol already, I'd ask them back like a shot!"

We are Emma and Stevi, an experienced, friendly, British female couple living Bristol who have a combined love for animals and travelling. We have completed pet-sitting assignments and property-guardian work extensively and are looking to continue our adventures. Our passion is to visit interesting countries and meet new people (and animals!) to learn more about local customs and culture. We are non-smoking, non-drinking trustworthy people who between us have kept many pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, tortoises, birds and even a stick insect called Chris!

House sitting is the best solution to our travelling bug as it means we can look after lovely animals whilst visiting new places. Whether it be in the centre of a city or out in the wilderness we love to explore new places.

As for hobbies we both love films, having met at University whilst studying a degree in Film. We enjoy the theatre, gigs, museums, galleries and exploring new places. We of course share a passion for animals and enjoy walking, swimming and cycling. Emma is also a volunteer manager for an American Football team in Bristol.

We get a lot of enjoyment from looking after animals and discovering their unique personalities and love that house-sitting can allow us to take care of a wide variety of pets. When travelling we have always preferred to stay in home-stays and Air BnB as you get a better feel for where you are visiting and it allows you the freedom a restricted hotel room can’t. We are very friendly people and would love to make more friends around the world whilst carrying out house-sitting duties.

When house-sitting with pets we understand that we are looking after members of your family and take that responsibility very seriously.
We have completed around 20 assignments around the world including sits in Europe and Australia. We started in the UK by being property guardians in which your duty is to live in buildings to keep them safe. We then progressed on to pet sitting due to our love of animals and the opportunity to visit new places.
We have certificates in Animal Healthcare, Emma has a certificate in First Aid and we have a lot of references we can provide.

When we look after homes and pets, owners always leave the house with peace of mind that their animals will be very well loved and given a lot of attention and cuddles whilst they are away from home.
We are always conscious of the fact that someone has put their faith in us to look after their home so we make sure to treat it with the utmost respect and care.
We are very organised, honest people who if given a pet’s routine or a list of jobs will always oblige and stick to the plan.
We are happy to keep owners updated on how their pets and house are doing whilst they are away for added reassurance and to keep in touch.
We hope this profile has given you a good insight into who we are. We understand it’s a big commitment to let someone look after your home and animals so we are more than happy to talk over Skype, phone and email for you to get to know us better.
