My experience

I've lived and worked abroad, owning a cat & dog whilst in Africa. The dog returned to the UK with me & we happily enjoyed a further 6 years together. I now am a Cinnamon Trust volunteer (dog walker): the Trust volunteers help older people

It was good to meet Gillian before I took off for my 6 day break in Edinburgh. Unfortunately, I had to break the news that my wifi router had failed, and

I have known Gill since 1996. She is wonderful with animals, entirely trustworthy and has plenty of common sense. I would be very happy for her to look after my home and animals for an extended period of time. I know that they would be loved, exercised and if anything went wrong (with the house or pets), she would be able to make a good decision. I give a whole-hearted recommendation.

Why I want to house sit

I like to travel, both to re-visit familiar places, but also to find new experiences. I have lived and worked abroad, and find when travelling that I prefer not to be a "typical" tourist, but to live a more "local" life. House and
