Fur & Fun-Loving Family Available

More information about this house sitter

Hello there, we are a reliable and responsible family looking for a house/pet-sitting opportunity over Christmas. We love long walks, beaches, cosy pubs, cooking and travelling. We are complete animal lovers with lots of experience looking after our own, and other people's, furry families.
We have our own cat and dog at home who are indulged and adored who can stay with grandparents for Christmas, although we could bring our little Border Terrier, Belle, if this was appropriate to the housesit. She is a very well-behaved, quiet old girl who spends most of her time snoring these days.

The children are aged 10 and 15, are sensible and sensitive and love dogs, cats, chickens, hedgehogs, pigs, goats and everything furry and/or four-legged.

In the past we have looked after rabbits and hedgehogs, provided dogwalking locally and have previously been 'puppy parents' for the charity Canine Partners which trains dogs to work with the disabled. I was a veterinary nurse for 5 years both in the UK and Australia so I'm generally quite used to all creatures great and small!

I have regularly look after a lovely old cat locally while his humans are away and I also petsit for another family who have cats, fish and chickens.
As a family, we spent the whole of summer 2018 looking after a gorgeous Irish terrier and some chickens in Dorset and summer 2019 cat-sitting a mischievous Siamese pair in Cartagena, Spain! Sadly, Covid has clipped our wings a little since but we are now ready to housesit again.

I can provide testimonials for these housesits on my and I also have reviews for catsitting on the Tailster website. I can provide additional references for these and other housesitting jobs we have done.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you think we could be a good fit for your house-sitting requirements.
