Why I want to house sit
I love animals and love to travel. This allows me to combine both passions and provide a service which I enjoy. I like learning about new places, cultures and like being able to live and experience this in a community type environment. The locations are always quite interesting and of course getting to know some new furry or feathered friends is just the tip of the
iceberg.
My experience
I guess you could say I have been a pet owner since practically birth. My first care giving probably started out at around four and a half with my box turtle Susie. Over the years I have nurtured fish, birds, cats, dogs and bunnies and most animals that have found their way to me.
Since becoming a professional animal care provider, I have had experience treating all ages and some special needs animals.
•administering medications including shots
•working with deaf animals
•treating animals with chronic conditions including dementia
•working with the rambunctious wee ones who also need extra
supervision
I am well- traveled, speak German, English and am functional in French, Italian and Spanish. I enjoy meeting new people and treat any home as if it were my own. I have owned a home for 35 years and value excellent pet and house care when I am away as well.
Over the past years I have had pet and house sitting experiences in Germany, France, UK, Norway, Belgium and in the United States. I consider myself a professional.

I can certainly see why Connie has such excellent reviews & is so booked up! She is relaxed, warm, conscientious & reliable. We were let down by the sitter that we originally booked & what good fortune that turned out to be. Connie was always responsive, kept us updated with lovely pics & cared forBinx with great affection. I would be delighted if she were able to return at some point in the future. She has a very positive attitude & looked after everything perfectly.

In a word ... Awesome! I was naturally quite nervous about letting a complete stranger into my home but within minutes my concerns disappeared. Connie is a warm, utterly trustworthy, wonderful person and I almost wished I was staying home with her! My cats were very much loved whilst we were away, my labrador v chilled and my house and garden immaculate. Connie kept me regularly updated whilst I was away and kindly ensured some basics were in for out late evening return. If you ever have the opportunity to have Connie look after your home do not look further - she is fantastic.

I couldn't have hoped for better house/pet sitters than Connie and husband John. My cat seemed totally comfortable with them. Connie even managed to put the flea drops on my cat, which I dread doing every month. When I got back, the house was just as tidy as I had left it , and Connie had a wonderful lunch for me. I got a couple of photos of my cat and emails from Connie while I was away, which assured me everything was running smoothly. The couple are very friendly and easy-going. I would love to have them back to sit for me, or just visit, anytime.
