Karine and Martin, together with their children Anna and Elsie, have been our neighbours for 12 years. They are friendly, trustworthy, considerate and happy to help whenever needed. They enjoy interacting with our dog (an ancient staffie) and also regularly walk the dog of a friend of mine. I think that they would make great pet/house sitters - I wouldn't hesitate to have them look after my own house , but only after I'd tidied it up first.

Why we want to house sit

We want to stay local over the summer holidays and we love nature and animals so we hope to stay in a house with animals really, as we cannot have pets due to too much moving around at week ends and holidays. The girls are very keen on
