We are now retired December 2018 { nurse/ farming/engineering}giving us more time to travel, and enjoy our lifestyle change. Moved from rural Norfolk to Edgbaston complete opposites, perfect for us at this time. We have ourselves used house /pet sitters, so understand the need of complete trust needed to enable owners to leave their pets in our care. Owned three dogs during our time together all quite unique and a great experience, now satisfy our passion for pets and travel through TrustedHousesitters.
Why we want to house sit
House sitting gives us opportunity to travel, experience lots of places but in a more authentic way, hoping for new experiences to enhance our retirement. Proving ourselves as being a good choice to trust your pets and house with, as we did in the past, when using house sitters ourselves.
Our experience
As we have been on both ends of the house sitting enterprise having an understanding of what a client would expect of a house sitter is key. An ability to take your place when you leave and replicate as near as possible care of the pets and home. Our experience since joining the site has been completely positive lots of great reminiscences to make us smile. Enhanced DBS check available.

We cannot thank Chris and John enough for looking after Hugo, our 3 year young, excitable flat coat retriever and Trampy our 21 year old cat - they did an absolutely brilliant job. On leaving our home to go on our holiday, their calm confident and competent manner gave us immediate peace of mind and whilst we were away their regular updates (with photos) continued to allow us to relax and just enjoy our holiday.
With Chris and John's love of walking and Hugo's boundless energy it was a partnership made in heaven for Hugo and he looked positively glowing on our return home and with Trampy curled up in her usual place looking content, well fed and without a care in the world and our home clean and tidy - what more can you ask for!
Chris and John are calm, caring and considerate people and completely trustworthy and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them and hope that they will house/pet sit for us again – a BIG BIG THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH. .- Organised

We have just had Chris and John sitting for us while away on holiday and have to say they are true professional sitters. No fuss, drama or complications. They are both very organised, capable and easy going . While we were away Chris sent several reassuring messages of general welfare and activity, plus snaps of Phoebe and Dottie thoroughly indulged or enjoying themselves.
And what a comforting joy on our return from a long tiring flight to find all creature inhabitants and home clean, healthy and very relaxed and happy!
We can not recommend this couple highly enough and sincerely hope that we can lure them back to us again !- Organised

Chris & John came to look after Monty for us over Christmas. They were very respectful of our home & both handover on arrival & departure were managed by them in a sensitive & non intrusive manner. They communicated with us just enough to let us know all was well without overdoing it! And we could tell Monty had been well walked & looked after when we got home. The house was lovely & clean, bed stripped & the linen had been washed. Super impressive & very much appreciated on the return to our home. I would have them back in a heartbeat as I am sure would Monty & totally recommend them to others who are wanting solid, reliable Housesitters.
