A big thank you to John and Jan who have just looked after our house and well-loved pet cat Ruby. John and Jan had knowledge of the area so it worked

John and Jan are better than we are at keeping house and making sure that DOG is always smiling and loved. We would have them house and dog sit again in a heartbeat, in fact we have been disappointed that our schedules have not been in sync again. I believe that we have all become firm friends after our first experience though and that is a wonderful gift. I cannot recommend John and Jan highly enough. They are honest hardworking reliable loving folk who will care for your pets and your home like it was their own.

Why we want to house sit

We are keen to visit UK in 2016, particularly Jan's home county of Derbyshire. This seems an ideal opportunity to do so.
