About Sue & Robin
We are a middle aged couple who have decided to take a year off from our normal lives and work to travel through the UK and Europe to gain new experiences. We make friends easily and look forward to joining new communities for a time. Our daughter has travelled widely several times and we have looked on, wishing that we could also do it. We've h...
We are a middle aged couple who have decided to take a year off from our normal lives and work to travel through the UK and Europe to gain new experiences. We make friends easily and look forward to joining new communities for a time. Our daughter has travelled widely several times and we have looked on, wishing that we could also do it. We've holidayed in New Zealand, Canada and, recently, Europe, but always have work timetables to draw us home. Not next year! Time out without pressure - we can't wait to start.
We have a large home, experience with dogs and cats as pets, and have spent hundreds of happy hours in our own Garden - veggies, fruit and flowers, etc.
there's not much that defeats us, so now we had the time and opportunity we cant wait to look after someone else's house and share the sights of a European community. We are both non-smokers, love reading, walking, gardening, cooking, eating and sitting back and taking in the view(so to speak). We are regular church attendees.we will look after your home with the same loving care we do our own. Any pets that we look after, we will love and care for as we do our own 2 Burmese cats (they are like our children) at times. We leave behind our 3 grown children, our 1 year old granddaughter , our home, friends, and our 2 cats. Hope we dont suffer home sickness too much!!!!!!!!
Why we want to house sit
We are looking to housesit so that we can join in the communities we find ourselves in and we love animals as we have had a few over the years. We look forward to being a part of the people and town and find volunteer work to make new friends where ever we stay.
We want to travel and share community life and sights in new countries and in more depth than holidaying can offer. Housesitting provides this opportunity but without the huge costs of a holiday. We want to housesit so that we can stretch our finances as the Aussie dollar is around about half the English pound.
Our experience
As homeowners for 32 years we do know how important it is to trust someone with our house and know that its being cared for as you would care for it, i.e the garden and general cleaning. We have had and cherished many pets over the years with our growing family and also after the children have left home, We love having pets around to talk to and play with and exercise. They are great friends to come home to. We are both trustworthy and honest people that look forward to looking after many homes and pets! During some of our travels we have had opportunity to stay in our friends homes and we always take an active roll in cooking, cleaning, gardening etc. Our motto is to always leave their place clean and tidy ready for them to come home too.

We recently had Robin & Sue look after our 2 cats while we vacationed for 2 weeks. The cats warmed up to them very quickly and they seemed very content throughout our time away. Robin and Sue provided us with updates through Facebook messenger throughout the vacation which gave us reassurance that the cats were doing well. We have a cleaning service at our home, so we didn't require a lot of cleaning work, but the house was in good condition when we returned. Our elderly mothers both live close to our home. Sue & Robin brought the newspaper and mail to my mother every day and visited with John's mother as well. Sue was kind enough to cook us a great meal when we returned and she also accommodated our special dietary preferences, which was very thoughtful. This was our first experience with Trusted Housesitters and we felt it was a positive experience.

Sue and Robin were ideal dog sitters in many ways and much better than some couples I have given full marks to in the past. They established an instant rapport with my dog by grooming her very thoroughly. They came twice this year. Sue is a good cook and provided an excellent meal after my first trip. My daughter (who came to the house once they had gone from the second trip) said that she had never seen the house as clean and tidy.

Robin and Sue returned to our home for a second time to look after our many and varied animals.
The last time they were here they had to deal with a boisterous 9 month old pup, this time they had the very grown up, playful 65 kg version, who was in the midst of a phantom pregnancy.

The last time they were here they had to deal with a boisterous 9 month old pup, this time they had the very grown up, playful 65 kg version, who was in the midst of a phantom pregnancy.
Robin and Sue handled everything thrown at them very well and we returned to a happy, healthy menagerie.
Sue also cooked us a couple of great meals, on our return, which we really appreciated.
All in all we have had a really good experience with Robin and Sue and we would not hesitate to recommend them to other people seeking a house sitter.- Organised
