Kind Friendly Cat Lover

More information about this house sitter

Hello.

I am a retired Management & Search Consultant . I love most animals, and I am especially fond of the feline variety. I have had several cats including a "one eyed Siamese" for many years - needless to say called Nelson!...they have all lived to a great age!...
I lived in London for some 34 plus years, - currently I have a property abroad where I like to enjoy spending several periods each year - since the Covid 19 Pandemic, this was not possible. I therefore continued to House Sit, as well as Pet Sit when required; mainly within the Greater London area. I am prepared , & would be happy to travel within a 50 mile radius , although I do look for my travel costs to be reimbursed from my London base.
I have family living in London & the Home Counties - I am a doting Grandma to 5 grandchildren, all of whom have a variety of pets, including cats & dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, indoor fish & tortoise, etc. .... though no reptiles or rats please!..plus for over 25 years I have cared for family & friends homes during long periods, as well as caring for their pets.
I am looking to House & /or Pet Sit for a family who have property, & possibly pets who need some TLC whilst their owners are away, as well as caring responsibly for the security of the property. I am very hands on & very capable of dealing with a crisis when necessary (eg. a burst water pipe, a door handle which broke & trapped me in a room for several hours!... I even had to deal with a large sun light glass roof which exploded onto me during a storm!!!...) I had pretty solid bookings since starting House/Pet sittings on a regular basis for the past 4 years; & via another website since the end of the first lockdown in 2020, - many with repeat bookings. I have completed over 30 House Sits , over these past 4years from 2 to 12 weeks , with over 35cats & kittens that I have cared for. (* attached are a selection of References that I have from this site. I have more from the other website I use, which I would be happy to forward). I have an up to date DBS Police check.

* I am keen to secure bookings from FEBRUARY to end of MARCH 2024 - ideally from 1-3 months,
( minimum 2 weeks) …Thereafter from mid July - September 2024.
( My preference would be to be a House / Pet / Sit based in Central or North London)*
As a highly responsible house owner, plus running my own International business , - for over 40 years, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy, & totally reliable to care for your property, & pets in your absence. I am prepared to do light garden/plant watering etc, plus basic routine household duties.
I am fit, energetic, & lead a full and active life. A non smoker, a driver, with a clean license for over 40 years. I have been fortunate enough to have travelled fairly extensively. I have numerous interests, some of which include: keeping fit, walking, enjoying the local history of places wherever I House Sit, the Arts, painting landscapes, reading, as well as having an active interest in writing!...

I am open to consider bookings long term, where I would be available upwards to 3 months, preferably in the London area - where I have my own home base.
If you would like to discuss any of the above , plus available dates, please get in touch with me.

Best wishes,
