We are a mature professional couple (40s / 50s) with long standing experience of caring for private residences. Margaret has most recently worked a as PA for high net worth individuals and is highly discreet and trustworthy. Tiago is a successful theatre director and professional translator.
We are currently looking for a long-term house sit in London that would enable us to move back to London for a year (we currently live in Margate). We are very practical and very fit so walking the dogs would be particularly enjoyable.
We have regularly looked after a Weimaraner and a Parson's Russell. With this last Margaret spotted a dental problem one of the dogs, preventing sepsis. We have kind and generous natures and love animals a great deal. You would be able to rest assured that your home and pets were in capable and caring hands. Margaret is also currently training as a dog listener. She has also worked with birds of prey and successfully reared a wild bird when living in Brazil, hand feeding a young chick through fledging to adulthood.
We grew up with and are used to many kinds of animals - dogs, cats, birds, roosters, horses and mice!
What you can expect from us:
Lots of love, play and care for your dogs and cats with special attention to their well-being. Varied play and walk routes and locations. Fully engaged carers! (no staring at mobile phones with a bored dog on the end of the lead – a personal bugbear of ours!).
Access to a professional dog listener
A high-end service from a former PA to HNWI’s (High Net Worth Individual’s) with complete discretion.
Practical skills: able to personally deal with minor issues or appoint contractors at best price. Skilled at sourcing competent contractors and negotiating a good price, insisting on a good standard of work, no matter how small the job.
20 years administrative experience: bills, banking, expenses etc.
Complete peace of mind.
You can expect the same focus and dependability as I’ve shown in my previous PA, house sitting and dog sitting roles.
Opportunities house sitting for you will give us:
Offer a period of transition, enabling us to sell our property in Kent and take time to find our next property in Wales.
Opportunity to concentrate on writing new projects for community, theatre and sustainable living.
Complete the final stage of dog listening training and work with a few select clients in London.
