Hello, we are Bev and Pete Jamieson and we were lucky enough to retire early from our professional careers in the UK, four years ago. We moved to Kalkan in Turkey having owned a holiday home here for many years. whilst we still have a base in the UK, we spend most of our time, enjoying the Mediterranean climate. We have a very active life which includes walking the Lycian way, teaching spinning classes and painting with a local artwork class. Both of us are non smokers. We are keen travellers and have visited many countries in Europe, the U.S and the Far East. Our two grown up children live in the UK, one in the South and the other in Manchester. Pete and I are huge dog lovers, having owned two dogs ourselves for many years. Unfortunately I have a severe allergy to cats so can't cuddle them. We hope we could bring love to your own pets whilst you have to travel elsewhere.
Why we want to house sit
We are keen travellers and we can think of nothing better than to immerse ourselves in a community, enjoying the company of loved animals, and letting them show us on walks the beauty of an area.
Our experience
We are both fit and active, used to keeping places spic and span. we own our own pool and so can maintain swimming pools when needed. Pete is also quite a handy man, having built our own decking and converted our loft space in the past. I am a keen gardener and will ensure your gardens are kept well maintained.
We have owned two dogs in the past, a rough Collie called Robbie, who had the most magnificent glossy coat and adored nothing better than long walks and sitting by us and the fireside. Then when Robbie passed away we decided to take in a fabulous Alsatian cross puppy, we called him Mac, and he lived with us for 15 special years. His favourite past time was going on to the big field near our home chasing the ball or even better a Frisbee. In later years when he got the aches and pains we all get he used to lie across our knees as if he weighed nothing, enjoying cuddles and more shorter walks. We have also been lucky enough to house and dog sit here in Turkey a couple of times. we love dogs and Baxter, a miniature schnauzer, loved our long walks and plenty of play time. Please see the reference from our last housesit . Our other regular play friends are Barney and Bramble, mummy and son. Our friend Mary allows us to take them out to play when she needs to go out for the day. They are just adorable. So we love dogs of all sizes and types. We also have three tortoises in our garden, they are native to this area, but they have become very comfortable living under our pool area in winter and enjoying being pampered by us and our guests in the summer.
We are keen now to spread our wings and help pet owners all over the world.

Bev & Pete have recently been house/ Dog sitting for us, I couldn't recommend these guys enough. Such a fantastic couple who are so friendly you feel at ease straight away. we have a mixed bunch of dogs one in particular who is very energetic, but was worn out on our return, the jack Russell who does tend to be clingy settled quite happily into his normal routine. Such lovely reliable,trustworthy people, who we are very lucky to have found. Now looking forward to many more holidays stress free.
Thank you both so very much.

Response from Beverley & Peter
Hi Jo and Paul. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your beautiful home and look after your adorable dogs. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Jen, Beano and Millie, and the lovely walking areas around your home. The local steam railway was an extra treat.

They have had dogs of their own and caring for animals is second nature to them.
They love to travel, to meet new people and with their shared love of animals are perfect house/pet sitters.
They have been great friends to us, helping us through a tough period. Always caring, taking the time to help and to offer support. It is a real pleasure to know these two.
They both love the outdoors and are currently members of the local walking group. They also keep fit and active with Spin Classes three times a week. Bev helps out at a local charity shop, she is great at organising events and a wonderful cook to boot!
They have a beautiful home which is well cared for and maintained. They have knowledge of swimming pools and maintenance required.
They would easily be able to cope with any situation, in a calm and caring way.
We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. Look no further for your next house/pet sitters!- Organised

Since moving to Kalkan both Beverley and her husband have demonstrated a positive commitment to the local community and they are widely regarded as valued members of our community.
Beverley is proactive in her support of many local good causes and on a personal level she has assisted a number of individuals who live here on their own and need a helping hand now and again. To give a few examples:
1. Beverley organises a staff rota for a local charity shop where she volunteers.
2. Beverley volunteers to organise and lead spinning classes in our local gym.
3. She has assisted an elderly expat lady in town with a house move.
4. She made regular visits to a local man who injured his leg and could not leave his flat, ensuring that he was comfortable and able to cope.
5. Beverley and her husband did pet/house sitting for a local lady not too long ago, which worked well.
Beverley has organised a number of local events demonstrating her organisational skills. Some of these events have been at her home where she and her husband have provided wonderful hospitality.
I have no hesitation in recommending Beverley as a trustworthy, reliable and well organised person in terms of providing pet sitting services.- Organised

Bev and Pete are organised, cheerful, trustworthy, handy, fit, nice people and I couldn't have asked for 2 better-suited people to house sit at my house in Kalkan, Turkey and to take care of my miniature schnauzer. I was away for several months and for 6 weeks of that period, Bev and Pete moved into the house and took care of my mature dog. I was updated often by email with pictures and news of local activities and those relating to the dog as well. While I was not worried in the least to leave them in charge, it was great to get news from home about how things were progressing. The house was left in perfect condition and the dog even better. He was a friendly dog and reacted well, generally, with people, but when I returned, everyone in the village knew Baxter as Bev and Pete had taken him out and about on their errands. Caring for the dog meant not only walks (often in rainy conditions during the winter, I'm sorry to say), but also grooming, washing and vet appointments. They are completely honest, dependable and responsible and are enjoying their early retirement after years of hard work by both in England. They both enjoy lots of physical exercise, extensive international travel and animals and their ability to combine several interests by house sitting, pet-tending and travel is a bonus for any petowner or houseowner. The highest accolade that I can give them is that I wouldn't hesitate at all to leave them in charge again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone else that they do the same. I only wish I could give higher scores for their organisation, reliability, self-sufficiency, tidiness and pet care than the 5 I've given them in every category.

Bev & Pete are both pet & child friendly thankfully and always make us feel welcome and part of the family in their wonderful home. Whenever we have had the pleasure of staying with them we have had a wonderful time and felt very welcome in their beautiful home. I would not hesitate to trust them with my home and pet, and occasionally child!!- Organised

About Beverley & Peter
Hello, we are Bev and Pete Jamieson and we were lucky enough to retire early from our professional careers in the UK, four years ago. We moved to Kalkan in Turkey having owned a holiday home here for many years. whilst we still have a base in the UK, we spend most of our time, enjoying the Mediterranean climate. We have a very active life which includes walking the Lycian way, teaching spinning classes and painting with a local artwork class. Both of us are non smokers. We are keen travellers and have visited many countries in Europe, the U.S and the Far East. Our two grown up children live in the UK, one in the South and the other in Manchester. Pete and I are huge dog lovers, having owned two dogs ourselves for many years. Unfortunately I have a severe allergy to cats so can't cuddle them. We hope we could bring love to your own pets whilst you have to travel elsewhere.
