About Peter & Karen
We are a young at heart couple (non smokers), embarking on an adventure of travelling in UK and Europe. But this time we want to do it slowly and spend a good amount of time in each place getting to know the area or village we are in.

We are a young at heart couple (non smokers), embarking on an adventure of travelling in UK and Europe. But this time we want to do it slowly and spend a good amount of time in each place getting to know the area or village we are in. Our plan is to spend the next 5 or more years enjoying the places we get to stay at, and experiencing the local way of life.
We have police clearance certificates.
Why we want to house sit
When we first discovered the concept of house sitting we realised how it makes perfect sense for both owners and sitters. Owners need the peace of mind of knowing their home and pets are well looked after. As sitters we need to be able to enjoy the companionship of the pets we look after as well as being able to live in a "real" household environment.
Our experience
We are a reliable couple travelling in UK and Europe. We have looked after our own dogs and cats before, and we have pet sit for friends (cats and a rabbit) and for a couple who had a dog (Swiss Shepherd), five ducks and four quail. We have also look after our daughter's border terrier puppy (Zuko).
We know how to look after your house and pets and will ensure you return to your home and find it and your pets well looked after.
Having left our own pets with pet sitters when we have gone on holiday, we completely understand owners concerns and needs, regarding the care, attention and love that pets need from their sitter. Pets need to feel secure and well looked after while their owners are away.
We have experience in giving medications to pets - sometimes its quite easy and the pet will simply eat their tablet, and sometimes we have to hide the tablet in their food, we are able to work through this.

They were punctual and we were happy to meet them after our facetime conversations to find that they were everything we hoped for and they were even nicer in person!
Our pets took to them straight away, and we felt happy to leave our home and pets in their capable hands, they took them for long walks, and kept them groomed, and gave tablets daily to one of the dogs, not to mention playtime and cuddles.
They sent us updates and photos and we felt confident with our choice of couple, so we could relax and enjoy our holiday.
They were very happy to stay on as we had problems with our return flights and were delayed so that was a relief not to worry about who would look after everything until we could get back.
We arrived home to a lovely clean house and very happy pets, am sure that our pets were sad to see them leave!!.....
I would thoroughly recommend peter and karen and very much hope we have the opportunity to have them housesit for us again one day.- Organised

Peter and Karen - many thanks for taking good care of our house while we were away. Plus the added bonus of mowing our grass and cooking us a tasty curry on our return. Happy to recommend you. Rob and Pauline

Peter and Karen stayed in our Suffolk home with our Staffie/Labrador cross - Boss - for ten weeks this summer. They were completely brilliant. Boss clearly adored them (I think it was mutual) and he came back to us fit, happy and unfazed. They also left our home immaculately clean and tidy. Over the summer, they contacted us regularly with photos of Boss and dealt with small problems (a burst pipe) without any stress. I was quite nervous about trusting our dog and home to complete strangers - but in truth, I can't recommend them highly enough
