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.
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.

Jenny and Neil are the perfect home and pet sitters. It's so obvious that they love animals and really know how to take care of them. They were so conscientious and caring for our 2 dogs, giving them fantastic walks and lots of care and attention. They're also super efficient and amenable and left our home in super condition. We had a great trip away from home, safe in the knowledge that our house and beloved pets were well looked after. I can't recommend them enough, thank you both! We hope you'll come back again soon :-) x

The house was cleaner when we came back and the animals just loved Jenny especially Liza. We’d have them back in a minute if we could.

Response from Jenny & Neil
Deborah and Christine were lovely, welcoming hosts and their home was very comfortable. The three cats and the darling little dog, Liza, were delightful, we could have taken them home with us! Had a wonderful stay, would come back anytime. Thank you very much for inviting us into your home and trusting us with your beloved pets.

Absolutely fantastic Housesitters! Adored by our dogs and cats and our friends that they met.
Our house was clean and tidy, the garden and pool were looked after and nothing fazed them, even the extreme weather and floods in the house were dealt with.
We simply can’t fault Jenny and Neil and hop...Absolutely fantastic Housesitters! Adored by our dogs and cats and our friends that they met.
