About Patricia

I was a successful career lady, having worked in Television for many years and then as an Office Manager with a large high-profile company after that. 3 years prior to leaving the UK, I worked for the Metropolitan Police on temporary contracts.

I retired (early) to Cyprus from London some 9 years ago. I was a successful career lady, having worked in Television for many years and then as an Office Manager with a large high-profile company after that. 3 years prior to leaving the UK, I worked for the Metropolitan Police on temporary contracts.
Since living in Cyprus, I got involved in voluntary work, particularly with the local Theatre Group as their Advertising Manager, but primarily with Animal Charities. I am passionate about animals. (Sadly there is a great need for help here. ) I also became a dog-sitter , having little dogs to stay with me on a one- to- one basis whilst the owners went away, mostly to the UK. So, I have done that for 9 years now. I have my little regulars who I adore.
I am known to be a very responsible, organised, reliable person.
Why I want to house sit
I love travelling but especially like to come back to the UK, London in particular, to keep in touch with old friends and enjoy England. I also love looking after animals - my first passion
My experience
I lived in SW London for 30 years in my own home, so would look after yours as if it were mine. I would deal efficiently with any problems should they arise and use my initiative. I have been a dog-sitter in Cyprus for the past 9 years and can supply references.

Patricia was truly excellent. All the pets, especially our dog Poppy, were very happy and content when we returned. She was tidy, efficient and, above all, kept us in contact with our home when we were abroad to give us peace of mind. She also has a good knowledge of the area and so we were guaranteed that all bases were covered. She is simply an excellent sitter and I would highly recommend her to any prospective homes looking for a reassuring sitter who has charm and a true love of pets. We wish her well and hope to see her again next year perhaps. Richard, Anna and Bobbie.

Patricia was a brilliant sitter for our two cats. She came down to stay with us the night before to meet us and the cats. Very friendly and chatty - it felt like we’d known her for years! She was very caring towards the cats and they were nice and relaxed when we got back from our trip. Patricia kept in touch with us via text to give us little updates on the cats which was lovely. Our house was left spotless. We would love to have her back and would recommend to anyone looking for a caring and considerate house sitter!

Patricia house and cat sat for us for three weeks in July. Her communication before and during her visit was fantastic and she always let me know her plans and visited us twice to get to know the cats and the house before we went away. We came home to a clean house and happy cats. I would have no hesitation in recommending Patricia.
