About Rachel & John
We are an easy going and fun loving couple who have often been grateful for house sitters ourselves to care for our dogs, reptiles and rats while we have travelled. We have helped others by house and pet sitting and found it emotionally rewarding and fun to travel and experience being 'at home' while being away from home.

Why we want to house sit
We are selling our home and looking to travel more on a limited budget. We have the opportunity to combine some business with travel. Our little 16 year old Tibetan Spaniel recently passed away and so we have lots of love to share with other people's pets.
We do need WiFi when travelling and although we love wildlife and nature, and could cope short term with being away from it all, a good coffee shop nearby is always a benefit :)
Our experience
Rachel is a huge dog lover, great with cats and loves birds too. John is amazing with Reptiles and fish. We have had dozens of reptiles ourselves and one of his dreams still is to have a reptile park.
Our 16 years old Tibetan Spaniel recently passed away to join her old mate who was 17 when he left us... both still in our hearts (and on facebook!)
We are both well travelled - I think we've visited about 30 countries now. We've driven across a lot of USA, Europe and UK so we can drive on either side of the road :)
We both have Police Clearance too :)

Rachel is a very loving and caring person.
Both our cats and dogs were very happy when we got home.
And our house was very clean.
Thank you Rachel for loving our animals for us.

Rachel is a lovely, kind person who clearly loves animals of all descriptions. My cat, Oliver, was so at ease with Rachel from the moment they met. Rachel kept me updated during our time away, letting me know that all was going well which I really appreciated. My home was clean and tidy when I arrived home - dishwasher emptied, rubbish removed, bed sheets washed and replaced. I highly recommend Rachel as a house- and pet-sitter. Thank you, Rachel!

John and Rachel cared for our house and pet kitten for three weeks. Our kitten had some medical difficulties in this time and Rachel was prompt in seeking help and keeping us in touch. Rachel also followed up on cosies medical care so diligently and I know he was loved and cared for with lots of warmth. We arrived home to a spotless house and happy kitty. I have so much gratitude for all John and Rachel did. ❤
