About Rob & Ferg (rozzie)

The 'P's'.... a 'house proud' couple, but not over the top, although an oven challenge to 'Ferg' (preferred name but has been known as Rozzie), is an enjoyable chore as she knows any one getting ready for vacation and travel has no time nor inclination to clean an oven!... Passionate (and still madly in love after 15 years marriage), caring, fun...

The 'P's'.... a 'house proud' couple, but not over the top, although an oven challenge to 'Ferg' (preferred name but has been known as Rozzie), is an enjoyable chore as she knows any one getting ready for vacation and travel has no time nor inclination to clean an oven!... Passionate (and still madly in love after 15 years marriage), caring, fun, animal loving (especially horses and dogs/cats but really all animals...'Ferg' would actually love a pet tiger).
'Ferg', a retired Health Services CEO/General Manager (Hospital Management) for a large group of Hospitals after a dedicated first, of many careers, Nurse and Midwife.. Current 'hobbies' include Show Horse judging (life time of horse breeding, riding, teaching, carriage driving), floral and garden designing but really now working at living 'the good life', so fishing as much as possible, cooking and compiling recipes, singing (a not too screechy soprano), reading, day-dreaming about winning the Lottery, imagining winning the Lottery, devising spending of the Lottery...). Passionate with all music, plays the Irish whistle and fondly can remember the days of ballet dancing en pointe, just consoled now after living in Ireland, by prancing the occasional merry jig! Born and bred a farming 'girl', maintains a keen interest in country and rural matters as well as enjoying recipe writing, pet rescue volunteering (Vet. nursing experience), gardening AND, of course, Housesitting!
Adores her dear husband Rob. (most recently a Finance/ IT Consultant and Manager but has successfully endured many other interesting and varied 'job' challenges over the years. eg; a Yachtmaster delivering new sailing boats throughout the Mediterranean... is that really a job?!). Currently an avid self taught musician, Rob. is also fit from hours of daily wandering walks to gain inspiration for his wonderful short story and book writings. This gentleman husband also works at living the 'good life'. He plays all genres of music, is an avid (very successful) sailor who is involved in many voluntary activities with his boating and sailing clubs... Rob. thoroughly enjoys teaching and assisting new sailors in this adventurous activity. A keen, smart mind, this charming husband is a great conversationlist with a wealth of general knowledge and experience ( has lived/worked in many countries, eg; from his MBA, Geneva, to Senior Banking Executive, Hanoi), all this without being a bore. He is delighted to walk dogs, cuddle cats, mow lawns, drive Homeowners to Airports and attend any other given direction (always letting 'Ferg' think she's the boss!) .... he's always competent, never hesitating in handling the management of any issue that might arise.
With the love of travel and immersion into other cultures and lifestyles, we admit to being resourceful, very happy and making every minute of our experiences, ones to be enjoyed and remembered! Perhaps our only conflict is competition over which one of us does the better DIY job. Non smokers...(Offer Police checks, personal referees, House sit testimonials).

Why we want to house sit

Great love of travel and new experiences, animals of all shapes and sizes, (pet rescue Volunteers) all things epicurean.... house proud, we love music and gardens too ('Ferg' studied Horticulture/ Floral Design)...honest regard for homeowners lifestyle, privacy, belongings ...broad general knowledge..lots of common sense..calm and organized..passionate with pets..love to care for 'things' precious!

Our experience

Wow, what amazing fun and exciting times we are enjoying with house sitting! Love meeting such delightful people who treasure their animals so much to want only the best carers for them. Always a wonderful experience to get to know new pets and their personalities and to see their responses to us, 'the babysitters'... certainly that critical appraisal confirms that animals do have a sixth sense of friend or foe! We always want the home owner to feel confident from first contact, that they have selected the right people to move into their private domain and in their absence, will feel confident we will do all to keep their 'family' safe, happy and contented until their return.

    Rob and Ferg (Rozzie) are superb house-and-pet-sitters! They are extremely likable and friendly and 100% reliable-and our two large dogs and two cats loved them too. We even received regular updates of their adventures with the pets with photos and videos, all very much appreciated! The house was in an immaculate condition when we returned and we even received a lovely welcoming meal. We can’t imagine better house sitters and we can thoroughly recommend them to anyone!
