Our experience

We have two sits lined up in the US for December 2024 and January 2025 (yay) but we would love to find one more to bridge our gap between the two!) We have had animals since I was a little girl - cats and birds when I was growing up, and a

We were SUPER lucky to host Josie and her family. Left our house spotless. Clean sheets on every bed. Not one item out of place. She was in exactly the right

Everything about this pet sit was PERFECT! Josie was incredibly well organized (even though she was travelling in from the other side of the planet! :)

Josie & Nicholas looked after Miriam’s home

I have known Josie as a workmate and friend for nearly 20 years. She is an amazing person – kind, generous, creative and smart. I know I can always rely on Josie if I need help – she goes out of her way to do things for other people and this is reflected in her wide circle of friends and how much they all love her. She’s very organised and prepares well for anything she takes on. Josie is very practical and not only made the curtains and blinds for my house, but has also helped me a lot in the garden. She’s green-fingered and has the most beautiful garden herself so she’ll take excellent care of yours. Josie’s husband Nick is interesting and friendly, and incredibly practical. He is a real fix-it man and you can be confident that if anything goes wrong Nick will probably be able to sort it. Josie and Nick run an activity centre and are very involved in the community. Nick and Josie have a teenage son, who has also travelled and loves pets – and from what I have seen is very happy to pitch in and help with things, especially for a teenager! Josie and Nick have two dogs and are experienced with pets. They’ve done a lot of travelling, and are flexible and adaptable. I highly recommend them as the ideal people to look after your home and animals.

Why we want to house sit

We love animals, and love the idea of living locally, not staying in the sterility of hotels, but really getting an experience in with other locals, getting local recommendations, and looking after animals at the same time. We are
