We have cared for farm animals, dogs, chickens and gold fish. We currently have no animals ourselves as we still like to travel, hence the desire to care for someone else’s animals. I am unavailable from 1st May to 30 June.

Once again we have been thrilled to have Jim & Elaine come to look after Toby and Teddy for us. The dogs are thoroughly spoilt and the house left spotless

I could think of no nicer or honest people to look after your pets and or your home. We have known them for several years and they look after our Mini Schnauzer fortnightly as they love our boy and he loves visiting them. Please feel free to contact us for more information if required. 461kim@gmail.com

Why we want to house sit

We have travelled quite extensively and now wish people to be able to take holidays and not worry about the well-being of their animals, and of course, the expense of kennels/catteries etc.
