Nick & Jules - animal lovers & foodies

More information about this house sitter

Hi! We are a reliable, mature, self employed married couple that work from home. We love pets and gardens that need company and attention which working from home allows us to do.

We have just moved from our country home back to London, but our grown up children (22 year old daughter and 25 year old son) both still live in Oxfordshire, where we have been for the last 18 years..

Nick is an advertising and marketing creative and business mentor, concentrating on website design and production so a good internet connection is essential.

Jules is a talented chef and loves everything about food - the sourcing, growing, preparation and presentation of great food. She started our ‘home restaurant’, one of the first in the UK, over 14 years ago and has cooked for thousands of guests including celebrity chefs such as Raymond Blanc and Mary Berry. Jules now writes and creates recipes for her website and has published over 500 unique recipes

We love long walks in the countryside and enjoying beautiful pets wherever we go. We have our own vehicle if parking is available or transport is required.

We need good internet as we work from home unless we are on a short house sit on holiday.

We are non-smokers who love nature and a good healthy lifestyle.

We love allotments, gardens and caring for animals. We have our own old, well behaved pets who we need to bring with us. Daisy; our gorgeous white cat is about 13 and Maisie, our beloved Satffy-Labrador cross who recently passed away. Both rescues so we don't know exactly how old they are! Daisy is pretty sedentary and is happy to move around with us and meet new friends! She has lived with dogs in the past and is happy to be around them.

We've had our own chickens and ducks in the past and have experience of looking after ponies and horses so can happily look after a small holding with livestock if needed.

We're happy to look after your Air BNB or other small business if required, as we are experiences business people who understand customer service.

Nick is an excellent cleaner(!) and has great DIY skills so can handle any repairs that might be needed. We always leave homes cleaner than we found them and have a caring attitude towards all pets, gardens and neighbours.

We are very trustworthy and we love your animals like our own.

We love traveling around the UK would so we're open to all locations.

We look forward to chatting with you soon. Read more...
