I am retired, have just finished a PhD in my late 60s and have trained and shown collies for 30 years. I own a farm in Australia and am used to ride-on mowers, in case you have large grass areas to look after. I love animals, especially dogs, cats, but am not experienced with horses, birds or reptiles. I drive a large station wagon, so can transport several dogs to take to off-leash areas or as necessary. I hope to meet you if my message appeals to you.
PLEASE NOTE:
The period in September 2018 is for the Netherlands only.
The periods in December 2018 and January 2019 are for housesits in the UK.
Why I want to house sit
I am an experienced and frequent traveler, but ... can't live without pets and hate hotels. I have found housesitting perfect for me and as I no longer have dogs of my own, I am getting my `canine therapy` while providing a service to you. I have done this for several years now and I made many friends with owners in several countries and many cities. I have been invited for repeat assignments, so I must be doing things right.
My experience
I have cared for dogs and cats of many different breeds and as an ex-showdog breeder and obedience trainer I take the welfare (both physical and mental) of pets seriously. I am happy to apply my grooming experience to long haired dog coats. As an active person and hobby farm owner, I am able to look after your home and garden as I would my own.

Anneke sat for our three rough collies in August 2016. Our dogs take complex medication and have differing needs. Anneke immediately ensured she understood their needs and bonded with them very quickly. She kept in contact throughout the time she was caring for the dogs and gave us lots of positive feedback which was very reassuring. We arrived home to an immaculate home, happy dogs and a home cooked meal. We would welcome her back her at any time.

We chose Anneke to look after our house, and Tabby the cat, for 10 days early July 2016 while we took two grandchildren on holiday.
