Hello.. my partner and I would like to include you and yours as part of our travelling experiences and adventures.

We currently live in Dorset, have been together for nearly 30 years and have 2 grown up children. Having lived with a variety of animals over the years: rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, cats & dogs we lost both of our lovely rescue dogs at a ripe old age, last year within about 6 months of each other. As keen walkers and fortunate to live in a lovely part of the country we still like to walk but find it not quite the same without a dog (or two). My partner is a keen gardener, I'm an avid reader and love anything arty crafty. We both love music and the outdoors.
Why we want to house sit
'Life is too short' and we want to travel. Some friends were introduced to Housesitting when travelling in New Zealand and said it was brilliant. So we thought house/pet sitting for part of our journey would enhance our experiences and would be the perfect solution to give our travels some purpose and direction. We're looking forward to discovering new places both here in the UK and overseas and if we can help out along the way, even better.
Our experience
We have yet to experience this type of house sitting. However, we have looked after friends houses and animals and have renovated a cottage that we then holiday let for a period of time. We mostly had guests who treated our property with respect and appreciated the hard work we had put in to create our lovely home. You can rest assured that we will always look after your property and furry family as we would our own.
