My experience

To date, we have done 18 sits, it's been a great experience. I am good with animals, in addition to dogs and cats, in 2019 I spent several weeks feeding and grooming 10 horses during the summer.

Bruce did just as we asked in his care of Casey. He left her in great health and the house super clean and ready for our return. Thanks Bruce!

Bruce's communication before, during and at the end of the pet sit was wonderful. Right after confirming the pet sit he had already purchased his ticket

Well, he is my Dad, so I could be considered to be a little biased, but I know he will do a great job looking after your home and pets whilst you are away. He is a fanatical traveler, this is what attracted him to Trustedhousesitters. At the moment he is focused on London, but he will go anywhere. He has taken my brother and I on many trips throughout Europe, Asia and South America, I think we have been in every art gallery in Europe, but we have also been on many hiking and scuba diving trips, he is really fit. His objective has been for us to experience different cultures and meet different people, so we understand the world.How do I know he will do a good job and reliably look after your property and pets. Simply because he respects and cares about people, he does a lot of volunteer work in Houston, and there are plenty of occasions when that is really needed in Houston. He transfers his standards of everything being tidy, clean and organized to any hotel room we are in, so he is going to do that in someone’s home as well. And Finally, no animal is ever going to be neglected when he is looking after them, just the opposite actually.

Why I want to house sit

Living in a home with dogs or cats for company, cooking my own food, relaxing in a home, is going to feel a lot nicer than returning to a hotel room, The responsibility of feeding and walking pets, looking after the the house and garden is
