More information about this house sitter

We are a reliable and trustworthy couple, with lots of house and pet sitting experience, who are currently looking for medium to long term house sits for the coming year.

We are in our mid-thirties, John is a communications manager at a small national charity based in Oxford, and Carys is working on publications after recently finishing her PhD. Our main reason for taking up house sitting at this time is to find a peaceful location where Carys can write journal articles based on her PhD thesis, whilst experiencing new areas of the country and indulging our love of animals.

We both work from home so we would be around in the days to look after the house and garden, look after pets, and keep an eye on everything else. We are non-smokers, clean, tidy and have plenty of experience at taking care of peoples' homes and pets whilst they are away.

Last year we undertook a six month housesit in rural Kent, looking after a 16th Century house for the owner whilst he was abroad. More recently we have looked after houses and gardens in Walthamstow (3.5 months) and near Bath (1 month). We have also done a number of house sits in the past, looking after dogs, cats, fish, chickens, as well as old houses, and gardens. We are happy to provide excellent references from our recent and past house sitting hosts, upon request. What we have found really important in a successful housesit is developing a good, strong and communicative relationship with the owners, which enables them to feel confident leaving their home and pets in our hands. This is the approach we have taken and it has always worked out very well for us.

Our next housesit, which is back at the Walthamstow house we looked after in 2015, ends at the start of September 2016, so we are looking for assignments to take up after this point. We are flexible with dates and durations, and will consider assignments of up to a year (with a minimum duration of one month). Please get in touch if you would like to ask any questions or discuss a house sitting assignment.
