We are home owners and have been pet owners who know and understand the dilemma of wanting to travel but not leave your home and pets unattended or in kennels. We are newly retired professionals, Gordon a 35 year sworn officer with the Police Service in Australia and myself a behavioral science professional working with young offenders and the Courts.We love to travel and in the past 2 years have had 18 months of it abroad travelling throughout south east Asia and China, Europe, the UK and north Africa. We have had many pets over the years although currently we have none. Due largely to "Arkie" our dog passing away and with our lifestyle we won't have another. This is where we become valuable to you, we'll look after your pets just like they are ours and we get to have the 'pet' experience again for a short time.
Why we want to house sit
We are travelling grey nomads who have the desire to continue exploring the world. We are not ones who like to stay in hotels and resorts, we would rather experience the intimacy that staying in a home can provide. Having spent over a year exploring China and South East Asia and the last 6 months in the UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Italy we now wish to explore a little further and really...we are happy to go anywhere. We are not bound by time frames and can therefore be flexible in where or how long we may stay in a particular location. House sitting does provide us with the opportunity to have this experience at a cost that allows us to manage our life abroad.We are energetic and handy around the home and happy to maintain your house, gardens and lawns along with your pets.
Our experience
As home owners we are used to looking after our property which includes pool and large gardens. We take pride in how our home looks. We have been pet owners which have included over the years mice, dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and birds. We are experienced in pet and house sitting and have sat in Australia (dogs and cats, small farm animals), France (no pets), Scotland (dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, ducks and pigs) and Wales (dogs). We are happy to provide details of referees to support our relevant experience.Check out our web site http://greynomads.site/

Susan and Gordon were booked in to look after our home and our Labrador Mila. Unfortunately my husband was hospitalised and we had to cancel our holidays. THIs all happened very close to their arrival date. They arrived, I explained the situation, and they were extremely understanding. They stayed with me a few days and then went into a self-catering cottage nearby. We kept in contact and they came back for dinner when my husband was released from hospital. They were caring, understanding and appreciative of all the effort we made on their behalf. Fortunately they picked up another trusted housesitter assignment to cover some of the time they should have been with us! Susan and Gordon are amazing....I would trust them with my home and my dog at any time and consider yourself extremely lucky if they can look after yours.

We are home owners and have been pet owners who know and understand the dilemma of wanting to travel but not leave your home and pets unattended or in kennels. We are newly retired professionals, Gordon a 35 year sworn officer with the Police Service in Australia and myself a behavioral science professional working with young offenders and the Courts.We love to travel and in the past 2 years have had 18 months of it abroad travelling throughout south east Asia and China, Europe, the UK and north Africa.
