Why we want to house sit
We have recently retired and love to travel so do not have our own dog to pamper at the moment. Hope to visit some nice places and meet some new four legged friends and of course their owners!! Plan to get rescue dogs when we return in a year or two.
Our experience
We both love dogs and have had our own dogs for approx 30 years until a few years ago. Consequently we have great experience in caring for animals and both love and enjoy doing so. We are outdoor people - enjoy walking, swimming, etc. Would appreciate the option of caring for a four- legged friend to cuddle and pamper.

We couldn't recommend Austin and Bernadette highly enough!! They were dream house sitters from start to finish. They kept in touch on the run up to the house sit which put our mind at ease and even when our plans changed last minute they were very accommodating. When they arrived, they came bearing gifts for the dogs which both doggies loved! They showed wonderful patience with our very nervous doggie Doris and took time to gain her trust. They played with pup Winston and he would even follow them around the house.
Austin and Bernadette sent photo updates which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing that the dogs were being looked after so well.
We arrived home to a clean and tidy home, which was just lovely!
If you are looking for the dream house and pet sitters then these are your guys! Thank you both again!- Organised

Austin and Bernadette house sat for us and looked after our english pointer Finley. 5 stars is not enough for this energetic, enthusiastic couple. From the moment they arrived their focus was on Finley and ensuring that he got to know them before we left. He was taken out with them on long walks each day to the beaches and Dartmoor and we were sent photographs each evening of his adventures that day.When we arrived home, Finley followed Bernadette and Austin around the house enjoying a fuss at every opportunity , which was fantastic to see .The house was also left cleaner than when they arrived. Highly recommended.

I know Austin in a professional capacity as he has done business with my office - I am a solicitor. I also know him in a personal capacity as he lives near my home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to the users of TrustedHousesitters.com. He is a most respectable and amiable gentlemen whose house is always spotless and maintained to the highest standard, and he and his wife are the biggest dog lovers I have ever met!! When they had a dog themselves he was certainly regarded as a member of the family and was so well looked after and happy.
