I'm a 58 year old single lady living in a small village near Morpeth, Northumberland. I have really enjoyed pet and home sitting over the last few years with Trusted House Sitters and have met some lovely pets and owners, often making firm friendships and being asked back. I am happy to sit in the UK or abroad. I have a lot of experience with cats, although will consider any animals or even just home sitting. I work part time and love to travel, having been to most parts of the world. In my spare time I like to swim, walk and generally keep fit. I also enjoy theatre, cinema and eating out. I have been CRB checked for my work in the Civil Service and I'm a non smoker. I have a son living in London so regularly travel there to visit him, therefore I'm often available for sits in that area. I am very houseproud and will take great care of your home, and of course your animals.
Why I want to house sit
I now find myself single with no ties and as I have always had a love of travel and meeting new people, I see house sitting as the perfect way to combine the two, whilst at the same time providing peace of mind for home/pet owners. I love animals but as I travel a lot, have decided it's not fair to have another pet of my own but will get a lot of pleasure from taking care of yours.
My experience
I am mature and responsible and will treat your home and pets as though they were my own (which is with a lot of care and attention). I have a 27 year old son who has now left home so I have time on my hands to offer help to others. I prefer to look after cats, having had a lot of experience with them, but will consider other animals. I can often be available at short notice as my work is flexible and partly home based. I am an experienced house sitter, having regularly looked after friends' homes while they travel, and have done several sits since being with Trusted House Sitters.

Jo is a lovely warm caring person who came to look after my two naughty bengal girls whilst we had a week away. I think Jo was very brave to take our girls on, cats are one thing bengals - quite another!

I don't know what happened by the time Jo came to sit our cats but our roof had a leak (minor) our electricity supply kept shorting and the girls were deep in to a territory war! I kept worrying that she would be ok but she was! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jo to anyone who needs their cat looked after. She kept in touch with us daily to be honest I was more worried about her than the cats as I knew they would be well cared for.- Organised

Jo looked after our cat Joey whilst we were away for a long weekend. Everything went smoothly and Joey was very happy. He enjoyed sitting on Jo´s knee in the evening. Jo was very reliable, did a great job and sent us updates. We were reassured that Joey had the best of care. We can certainly recommend her to look after your cat.

Response from Jo
It was a pleasure to look after Joey, such a lovely boy and very affectionate. Carmel and Nick have a lovely home, close to the sea and all amenities and a good train service to Lisbon and other coastal resorts. I recommend this sit

This was the second time I'd sat for Ruth. As always the cats are a joy and Ruth is very friendly.
