We are a happily married, outgoing couple who love to explore other places, cultures and landscapes. Our last dog sadly died in September 2015, which has now allowed us to start travelling for longer periods of time. I am an ex teacher and my husband is an engineer and was a company director before he retired. My last police disclosure is a few years out of date.
Why we want to house sit
Its the ideal way to discover new places and experience other ways of life, and a great way to at least start to find out about different communities or places. We like change and love to shop locally and cook for ourselves. We are lucky to now be able to travel and absorb things at a much slower pace.
Our experience
We have always had cats and dogs, goldfish and gerbils especially whilst our family was growing up. My husband finished work a couple of years ago and we have just finished bringing a Georgian townhouse of historical interest back to its former glory. Having renovated houses and landscaped gardens, we can in an emergency turn our hands to most things.
We are genuine animal lovers and having pets to look after is an added bonus for us. We are also house proud and we will keep your house and garden looking the same as when you left it.
Do contact us as we are happy to discuss your individual house-sitting needs. We are both very respectful of others' privacy and we share household tasks. When we 'settle down' again we want to keep chickens, goats and alpaca and get another dog or two!

An amazing couple! I had to go away for work again and Pato didn't even give me a second glance as I head for the door on the day of my departure. He was more interested in having cuddles from Sian. No qualms whatsoever in leaving these fantastic people with the beastie. He was walked, cuddled and spoilt rotten while I was away to the point of on my return and Sian and Phil left the next morning, he was following them around as if there was huge piece of Tuscan Steak in one of their pockets. The house on my return was spotless and everything was in order. I have to say I was extremely sad to see these guys go. If they are passing through your area, don't pass them by. They will put your mind at ease immediately and your beloved pet and house will be given their utmost attention. I wish I could have them back the next time I go away. Happy Travels Guys and Thank you for everything. Lots of Love Celine and Pato!
