Rita: House & Pet Sitters from Warrington, UK

← Back to search results

Trustworthy woman to look after your home and pets

Introduction

Though independent, I love the company of others - humans and animals!

I was made redundant from my job last year after working for 22 years as a Welfare Rights Officer with South Tyneside Council. I am now volunteering with various charities and more recently I worked at a Buddhist Centre in London helping to keep the Centre clean and welcoming for visitors.

Why I want to housesit

I would love to explore the UK more and would like to base myself in a house rather than a hotel which can be quite impersonal. If you have a pet or pets you would like me to look after at the same time, all the better.

What I bring to the assignment / relevant experience

I own my home and understand the importance of keeping a property tidy and safe while the homeowner is away. I have always had pets. I love animals and know how very important it is that they be well cared for, especialy while their owner is absent. I have housesat for friends and family on many occasions and it's been a great pleasure and experience.

  Rita is a kind and gentle person who obviously loves and respects all living creatures. Whilst we were away she stepped in at short notice to look after our cat and house, and did a wonderful job. We have no hesitation in recommending Rita as a reliable and caring house sitter and pet minder.

  I have known Rita for over 30 years and have never met such a selfless person. She worked for over 20 years as a welfare rights officer and always gave 100% to her customers and colleagues. She is independent yet sociable, organised yet relaxed and very kind and generous. She is great with animals and has dog sat for me and other friends. The dogs love her! She is reliable, trustworthy and very discreet. I'm lucky to have her as a friend

  I have known Rita for 16 years as a friend and colleague. She has looked after my house, my children and my dogs on many occasions. She is completely honest and trustworthy. Rita can be relied upon to look after another person's house and to treat their belongings with care. She is quiet, clean and tidy. She is also good with animals and enjoys looking after them. I would not hesitate to recommend Rita as a housesitter; anyone who employs her can be sure that their property (and pets) will be safe in her hands.

  Rita Curtin looked after our house and 2 cats for more than 3 weeks in October 2011. We found her to be practical and efficient, sending us phone messages by email and when we returned the house was very clean and tidy and the cats were very happy. I would highly recommend Rita as a responsible house sitter.

  Rita was just wonderful. She was so kind to my dog and cats and looked after the one that needs medication very well. Rita was also so accommodating in that she supervised my new fridge being delivered and generally made sure everything worked well while I was away. She was also really liked by my friends and neighbours. I would recommend Rita highly.
