Former geologist and travelled fairly widely across the world. Finished career In commerce. These days I do voluntary work ( charity;director for our real estate) and some temporary work (gardening,bar).Member of camera and help at festivals.
Live with my partner who works full time.
Socially I enjoy sports and play tennis,cycle and a little golf. I am secretary to the tennis club ( Cheltenham civil service). Love walking and have been known to overanalyse the views geologically speaking !
I am a friendly person and easy to engage in conversation whilst being v happy with my own company too !
Why I want to house sit
I love to see different parts of the world and there is usually a tennis club nearby to make friends with too.
I do like animals and understand how nice it is to be able to leave them in safe caring hands for a break.fairly fit so enjoy outdoors with animals.
My experience
Hi
I am a previous cat owner having up to 3 at one time.
I have house sat for my brother in Australia who had 2 dogs and 3 chickens at the time. Also looked after friends pets /houses .
I had a large house myself so am quite handy in diy and i like to keep fit playing tennis,cycling and a little golf.Do some voluntary work and gardening part time.
I have a partner who works full time but may visit depending on hols etc.
Hope this helps and look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards
John

We are very grateful to John, not only did he look after the house so well he also looked after our cat and our new puppy Lottie with great care and attention - even doing a bit of training! John kept us informed and sent photos to keep us up to date whilst we were away, which made us smile and reassured us that all the animals were in safe hands.
On our return the house was tidy and even the sheets and towels washed!
We would highly recommend John to anyone, such a great guy!- Organised

John has recently looked after my kitten for a week. He is clearly, a very capable and amiable gentleman who loves animals.
I quickly realised that I was leaving my pet and my apartment in good hands, and all was spick and span when I returned home. If anything, the kitchen was cleaner than when ...John has recently looked after my kitten for a week. He is clearly, a very capable and amiable gentleman who loves animals.

I do hope he will be available to help me out again in the future.- Organised
