More information about this house sitter

We will be travelling to the UK from early August 2025 for approximately 3 months. We are a long married couple, finally travelling to the UK, the home of our ancestors. We are capable, cook most of our own meals, have owned pets and animals and can relate to them, enjoy gardening and walks, when we have visited, stayed and have looked after houses while owners have been away, we leave the houses as we find them. We developed and managed a gardening business for over a decade, so can attend to ride on and hand mowing, whipper snipping and garden maintenance. We use technology. We are very security conscious. We appreciate and maintain clean and tidy environments. We hope to find house sitting for periods ranging from weeks to a month, or months depending on location. Most of all we want to experience what it is to live in different locations throughout the UK. We hope to travel to the UK for about 3 months from August 2025.

At this stage, we have accepted sufficient offers to house-sit while we’re on this trip.
