About Inge & Nick
We are a friendly and reliable, non-smoking couple who like travel and animals. We have three much-loved cats, a small pond with some fish, and we also regularly walk a borrowed dog named Millie, who is a very cute Westie, as well as our neighbours' dogs Bella and Lolly.

We have no kids - but we do have two lovely godchildren that we regularly look after. But since we can 'give them back' whenever we want, we're pretty flexible.
I'm a self-employed business coach and work from home, and Nick is employed full-time and works in Avonmouth. Depending on where and when the housesit is, I might come on my own, with Nick joining me at the weekend, or we would come together.
I'm doing a challenge to walk 2,017 miles in 2017, so I'm keen to do lots of walking, especially accompanied by a dog (or two).
Why we want to house sit
In 2020 we want to take (at least) a year off to travel the world by housesitting, and in the meantime, we want to get some experience of it by doing some local house sits (we're in Bristol), or possibly a longer one as a holiday.
We love the idea of staying in nice places and having the companionship of pets. Walking a dog is a great way to get to know the area, and nothing beats cuddling up on the sofa with a cat on your lap.
Our experience
We love animals and are completely happy to give them medication, stick to complicated routines and give them lots of love. Oh and we're keen walkers, so any dogs would get plenty of exercise. Nick has also always had a pond with fish, so is able to do all the necessary maintenance on that if needed.
We own a lovely house ourselves and take great pride in caring for it by keeping it clean and tidy. We're not builders, but would certainly be able to change a light bulb or check the fire alarm.
We would treat your home like our own, which means using coasters, turning off the lights and keeping everything clean and tidy.

Where do I start? Inge was amazing! From the minute we first met we felt confident and relaxed and happy to leave our home and 3 dogs in her care. She was reliable, organised and very caring making sure she knew every detail about our dogs and their routine. She took them on lovely long walks and made sure they were happy and content. We got regular updates with photos included which was very reassuring. Inge brushed the dogs for us and our home was left clean and tidy as we had left it. Inge was very kind and understanding and we would have no hesitation in recommending her or asking her to come again. Thank you so much from us all x

Inge is the perfect house sitter! Living locally, she came to learn the ropes before we went away.
Nothing was too much trouble.
I came home today to a house much tidier than when I left. Margaux the cat is very happy and the chickens and fish well cared for.

Inge was an excellent house-sitter. She visited beforehand to meet me and my little crew, and they immediately took to her. Once we were away I knew they were in reliable hands, and she provided regular updates as to how they were, with photos and narrative, which I appreciated. She clearly kept Meggie entertained, with long walks and plenty of playing, and the playing extended to the cats when at home. She groomed my long haired cat, Toby (a real challenge) and Meggie. On my return the house was beautifully clean and tidy and the animals clearly relaxed. I highly recommend her.
