Why we want to house sit
House sitting is a great option for us. We love animals and would really like to have furry family of our own but our lifestyle doesn't afford us this privilege. Looking after other peoples loved ones is a great option for us, we get to meet great, like minded people and feel honoured and trusted too look after someone who is very special too them. We move around from country to country and get to meet some fantastic families.
Our experience
We both love animals and have worked in Sri Lanka/Thailand closely with Embark & Soi Dog Foundation, dog rescues that help the many street dogs out there. We have been parents to many different animals and love gardening/beekeeping, keeping fit, reading and the quiet life. We are extremely respectful of private property, clean and very security conscious and understand the importance of someone being in or around the property at all times.
We are confident around all types of people and try our hardest to personally meet the animals ..and their pets.. :-) , before we take on a house sit. We can administer medication and have also cared for post-op pets.
We are an athletic slim(ish) couple who love walking and the great outdoors. We have our own transport so rural locations are not an issue (actually preferred).
We are insistent that whenever we take on a house sit, owners are entirely honest with us. Whatever your routine with your loved ones is, whatever your habits are we want to know. We are there to ensure your family are and remain as happy as possible..so, if they sleep on the bed..tell us, if they get treats at the table, so be it. We want to help your furry/feathered ones feel as loved with us as they are with you & its a holiday for them too.
We are currently looking for shorter sits of 1 to 2 weeks. We are available on Skype for interview, you can also view us on Facebook at Nicholas Jackson.

We have 5 large dogs and a small flock of rare breed sheep. Nick & Trisha came to allow us to make trips both in UK and overseas and at times were away for 3 weeks. Both are active naturalists and their love and care for all the pets was immediately apparent. The care for the pets and their accommodation was brilliant and the dogs loved them. They often went beyond the call helping with lambing, which included raising a sop lamb ad also helping with a few property maintenance issues while we were away. Their simple care allowed us the freedom to also have random times away. We can’t thank them enough for their care and they have already done a further short sit. We would thoroughly recommend them as being considerate, caring, understanding and 100% reliable. We wish them well for the future and hope they will sit again if required. The Girls are missing them soooo much!- Organised

Trisha and Nick really are 5 star housesitters - they are both very professional in their approach and ask all the right questions! They immediately made good friends with the dogs and I came home to two very happy, well-cared for girls who had had loads of lovely long walks, even in the pouring rain and heavy mud! Trisha kept me updated every day with pics on whatsapp. They also left the house immaculately clean and scrubbed, which was a joy. Issie and Elsa are both hoping they will be able to fit us into their busy schedule again one day! Thank you so much, Trisha and Nick!

Nick and Trisha looked after our French house and gite business from April to September 2017. The property has extensive grounds with many areas of trees and shrubs, lawned and grassed areas. They did a fantastic job keeping the grounds tidy and dealing with all the inevitable maintenance issues. They welcomed our gite guests throughout the summer, doing all the changeovers and cleaning of the gites, and dealing with the guests on a day to day basis. We left them to their own devices for nearly all of that period, and they are completely trustworthy. When we returned everything was perfect, in fact better than we left it. They are a caring couple who exceeded our expectations, and looked after our house exactly as we would have wanted. We would recommend Nick and Trisha without hesitation to anyone looking for house sitters.
