I'm a 57 year old single lady and have just moved back to the north east after 30 years in the south of England. I now live in a small village near Morpeth. Unfortunately I had to leave my own cat behind (but he is very happy with his new owners who he knew well and it was best for him to stay in the area he was used to). I have really enjoyed pet and home sitting over the last year with Trusted House Sitters. I've met some lovely pets and owners and am happy to sit in the UK or abroad. 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 for my work in the Civil Service and I'm a non smoker. 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 26 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 abroad and since being with Trusted House sitters have done several sits in the UK. I am due to do a cat sit in Spain in October 2017.

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

Was lovely to have Jo back to housesit for me again. She is very easygoing, reliable and keeps in contact throughout the sit. The cats and my home were well looked after and I would be happy to have her back to housesit again. Thanks Jo x

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

Jo is a lovely lady who did not let me down even though she had major changes to her life after our 'sit' was confirmed. My lovely cat Mila took to Jo straight away and it was mutual between them both. I would be more than happy to have Jo again and we discussed the possibility of this. After seeing Jo off safely on her journey home, when I returned it was clear Mila was expecting Jo to come back in with me and she showed clear signs of missing Jo. When I have a sitter who very clearly has given my cat affection and has looked after her so well, it makes my heart sing to realize that Mila is happy while I'm away. I would love Jo to come back again for another sit as we also got on very well.

Response from Jo
I had a lovely time at Elizabeth"s home. She very kindly met me at the airport and showed me around the local area before she left. Her home is very clean and comfortable and situated a few minutes from the supermarket and bus stop. Mila is a joy, very lovable and easy to look after. I would definitely return to cat sit in the future
