My name is Catherine (35) and my partner Richard (31) have been together for 8 years. We have a house together in Redditch, Worcs which we rent out. I am a contracts manager in the healthcare sector and Richard is a Chartered Accountant. We have been house sitting in the west midlands full time since December 2017 and have yet to have a single day where we aren't looking after peoples beautiful pets and houses. Currently I am working fixed term contracts in the area while Richard is lucky enough to spend his days with the dogs we are caring for. Richard has always had a passion to work with dogs and house sitting has enabled him to really pursue this so I apologizes in advance if he has your dog doing tricks left right and center. We are very independent, courteous house sitters who's main goal is to really put you and your pets as ease while you are away.

Why we want to house sit

We are self confessed nomads who after our 6 month trip around Europe don't want to sit still. We do however want animals in our lives and we know we can't have our own unless we stayed put as we know that pets love their own home. Lots of people think its great that we can live rent free by doing what we are doing but its much more than that for us. For us its a privilege that people are trusting enough to allow us into their homes and care for their loved ones.

Our experience

We have both always had pets and love cats and dogs so would relish the opportunity to look after anything in need of care. We love walking dogs and love paying cats lots of attention. We are very tidy and considerate about other people's possessions. Our first trusted house sitters assignment was in Cambridge back in 2015 looking after 2 lovely Jack Russell’s. It’s was a wonderful experience as despite being elderly they had so much energy and allowed us to walk them around the Cambridgeshire countryside keeping us fit! We are now full time house sitters having completed over 10 house sits ranging from single cats to 4 large dogs and the odd chicken. We don't limit ourselves to anything and always love to meet potential house sits beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. We have used house sitters ourselves when we had pets and we know how important feeling comfortable with your house sitters is.

    We could not be more pleased with our experience. Catherine and Richard came over to meet us and our dog before we went away. Comminications were always good, including photos and messages while we were away. Everything was fine, neat and tidy when we got back and the dog was very relaxed about everything. She had also had a good variety of walks.
