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

    John and Sue were excellent pet sitters. They came when agreed and were clearly used to looking after animals. Fergus took to John immediately and he loved having the walks across the Downs. The house was left in an immaculate condition and we wouldn't even have known they had stayed (apart from the fact that the animals were so content and happy). We would recommend John and Sue wholeheartedly. Thank you.

    John was simply great to have to stay and look after our two boxers. The house looked perfect, very clean and tidy, and he had even done a few extra things that I hadn't asked for. My two boxers had a lovely time and they hope to have him back some time! You would be lucky to have such a cheery housesitter.

    Everyone in the park asked me where John was after I returned. He had become very popular in my German neighborhood. John is outgoing and resourceful. Because it was so warm this summer, he created spots in the garden where he and Kip could remain cooler. He even refurbished a garden chair that awaits his return under the horse chestnut tree. He communicated well -- and as needed. You can rest easier if he's your house sitter.
