James & Sarah looked after Kim’s pets

Sarah was a fantastic pet sitter for our fur baby / Golden Retriever Patch. Patch and Laika got on straight away (Laika is a very gentle dog who seems to get on with everyone!) and they ended up becoming firm friends. Sarah is reliable and trustworthy. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her house or pet sit for me again.

Why we want to house sit

We enjoy travelling to new places, especially if they are in proximity to nature. Housesitting gives us the opportunity to see more of the country before we find a place to settle down, and it also gives Laika some friends while we’re on
