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 Turkish 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 have now started to spread our wings and help pet owners all over the world. We are experienced in helping dogs with medical requirements, injections, eye drops and tablets. Please read our recent rdviews for more information.

We had arranged for Bev and Peter to look after our dog Elke and our home over the Christmas and new year period. Sadly, our beloved Elke passed away before their arrival due to an unforeseen rapid and aggressive onset of bone then lung cancer.
We honoured our contract and both Bev and Peter came...We had arranged for Bev and Peter to look after our dog Elke and our home over the Christmas and new year period. Sadly, our beloved Elke passed away before their arrival due to an unforeseen rapid and aggressive onset of bone then lung cancer.
We honoured our contract and both Bev and Peter came and looked after our home whilst we went away for a much needed break, which helped us overcome our loss.
We returned to our home in the new year. It was in pristine condition. Not only had they ensured that the house was spotless from top to bottom, and all bedding had been washed and changed....but also managed to do a back log of washing that belonged to my son who was home from University!! And to top that, Bev cooked the most delicious vegetarian Shepherds Pie for our arrival home! It is safe to say, they went above and beyond their duty as housesitters....for which we were extremely grateful.
We would not hesitate to recommend both Bev and Peter. We trusted them implicitly and we are just sorry that they were unable to share our home with our beautiful Elke as we know they would have adored her company and cared for her very much.- Organised

Response from Beverley & Peter
Thank you Diane for such a lovely review. We really appreciate that you and Glen allowed us to continue with the housesit, especially as the you'd had such a sad time losing Elke just before we were due to come. We were so lucky to meet her in September, she was a beautiful girl, very well trained and a lovely personality. The house is in such a great area. Lovely walks along the canal, easy shopping nearby and a very comfortable home with everything you could possibly need. We had such a lovely Christmas day, full of fun. Thank you for letting us spend our Christmas and New year in your lovely home xx

Beverley was a delight to meet and we couldn't have asked for a more conscientious sitter. The dogs took to her immediately and we felt very relaxed about them being left in her care. She left the house extremely clean and tidy and the dogs disappointed about her departure.

Bev and pete were fantastic house sitters. From the moment they made contact we felt at ease leaving our home and pooches in their hands. They came to see us in advance to make sure they knew the routine. Whilst away we felt totally at ease and came back to happy dogs, a tidy house and a cake!...
