We are now energetic retired couple of animal lovers who live in south west France and currently own 3 rescue dogs and four rescue cats, who will be cared for by trusted housesitters whilst we take the opportunity to travel. Our working lives covered a variety of education based roles and sales management. We love our animals and spent 18 years in Ireland adopting strays including horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, dogs, cats and chickens. I have done lots of pet sitting over the years as our reviews and references demonstrate.
Why we want to house sit
We would like the opportunity to visit new places but "at home", cook our own food, have the company of pets, live in the community. We are kind, friendly and easy going, would take very good care of your home and love your pets like our own. Neil is great at garden maintenance, and we have a lifetime experience with every aspect of owning and caring for homes and animals.
Our experience
As we have animals ourselves, we have not had the opportunity until now to housesit together. Neil and I have looked after houses and animals for friends, dozens of times over the years. We stay at their homes, anything from a few days to weeks, taking care of animals, home and garden. I like to keep folk informed regularly with calls, emails and photos, so they can travel and holiday completely relaxed knowing everything is fine at home. We do this willingly for friends, because we know how important it is to take a holiday and know your house and pets are well cared for whilst you are away.
We much prefer to get a feel for people and to that end we would welcome the opportunity to FaceTime or speak on the phone directly, so much more personal.

From the first meeting it was clear that Jenny and Neil knew animals. I felt assured that they could manage my large, strong somewhat mischievous dog. They were absolutely brilliant. The dog was clearly very happy and very well cared for. Jenny and Neil also looked after my daughter's (next-door) cat who was equally happy, even given twice daily medicine. The house was clean and in very good order when we returned. They even kindly left some food for us. I would ask them back any time and, without any hesitation, recommend them to others

You'll struggle to find anyone better than Jenny and Neil to take care of your animals - and your house. They were fabulous with our rescue cat, Winston, giving him food, water, cuddles and his daily dose of medicine (which is no mean feat!). It was such a treat to come back to a happy, healthy cat and a well cared for home. Thank you Jenny and Neil, hope to see you again soon!

Jenny has looked after my 2 golden retrievers and 3 cats a couple of times. All my animals love her. I trust Jenny 100% with both house and animals. In case one of the animals fell ill I would trust her judgement if a vet was needed.

We have known Jenny and Neil for several years, getting to know them initially through a mutual friend who recommended them to us when we were looking for someone to house-sit and look after our two dogs and three cats. We found them to be thoughtful, conscientious, trustworthy and the animals loved them. Since then we have called on them on many occasions when we have had cause to travel away from home and always returning to a home in perfect condition.
We have therefore no hesitation in recommending them as house-sitters as we are certain they will never disappoint- Organised

From the minute I met Jenny and Neil, I recognized them as genuine animal lovers .. Jenny in particular falls into my category of ‘animal nutter’ ! The dogs took to them immediately and I just knew they would be loved and cared for. Jen didn’t mind me making the odd ‘phone call ‘just to check’ and put any worries I had to rest with regular email updates and photos of our darling girls.
On our return, we were greeted by our boxers doing their happy dances and then they both went and stood by Jen and Neil .. traitors !
The house was definitely cleaner and tidier than we left it ! The plants had been cared for and the few problems that had arisen (running out of gas, roof beam breaking in the barn .. whoops !) obviously through no fault of theirs, had been dealt with swiftly and no drama was made out of it.
So trying not to gush too much (!) I would completely recommend Neil and Jenny as pet and housesitters. Any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact me.- Organised

I have known Jenny for many years and she has looked after my dogs for me when I have been away. She has always given them first class care and they look happy and much fitter when I return as they are regularly exercised. She is honest and reliable and my home is immaculate on my return.

About Jenny & Neil
We are now energetic retired couple of animal lovers who live in south west France and currently own 3 rescue dogs and four rescue cats, who will be cared for by trusted housesitters whilst we take the opportunity to travel. Our working lives covered a variety of education based roles and sales management. We love our animals and spent 18 years in Ireland adopting strays including horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, dogs, cats and chickens. I have done lots of pet sitting over the years as our reviews and references demonstrate.
