We are experienced home owners and through housesitting have looked after all sorts of properties, from apartments in London and Paris to small farmsteads in New Zealand and an off-grid converted mill in Catalonia - and a range of rural properties and barn conversions in between!
We have happily taken care of dogs of all sizes, cats of all ages, ponies, donkeys, alpacas, steers, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits and guinea pigs. We are both animal lovers and other livestock, so long as they came with good instructions, would be cared for in the best possible way!
We were very sad to lose our much loved bearded collie, Harry, after fifteen years in summer 2012 and particularly enjoy assignments which include taking care of dogs. As we are both retired, we are of course in a position to devote plenty of time to your pets, making sure that they are happy and secure while you are away from home.
I also especially enjoy the opportunities that housesitting gives to potter about doing chores in someone else's garden as part of our travels, and am also one of those rather unusual people who actually enjoys doing housework!
