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

He happily took care of our small flock of chickens and kept in contact with us while we were away. It was lovely to come home to a tidy house with washed bedding on the line for us and lots of 'waggy tails'
We would be very pleased to have John to sit for us again- Organised

He is capable of all types of home repairs and has a genuine interest in animals.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
