Why we want to house sit
We would mainly like to house sit in Cornwall so we are able to meet up with our children and their partners. Our daughter and husband live on the North Coast and are a doctor and a vet. Our son is a keen surfer but now lives and works in Germany. We enjoy visiting new places too, so are open to other new experiences.
Our experience
We have looked after houses and pets for friends and family in the past. We have a small,friendly and well behaved dog who goes everywhere with us and have always had a dog.Jerry is particularly good with dogs and enjoys walking.We have traveled widely and lived in cities and in the country, abroad and in the U.K.We have renovated several houses and have practical skills that could be useful. We enjoy exploring during the day but would always be home in the evenings. We don't drink at home or smoke. I am good at keeping a house clean and tidy and enjoy looking after plants.

The house was spick and span on our return; the dog was happy and a full supper was in preparation while we received a report on events: what more could you want or expect? Penny and Jerry are a delightful couple - easy going, yet careful and professional in their approach. Their record of almost continuous "sits" speaks volumes for their integrity and appeal. My wife and I would have no hesitation in recommending them as house-sitters - and they would be welcome here as house-guests.

Penny and Jerry were great housesitters and looked after my lively sprocker well. They were well organised and my sprocker enjoyed their company - she fell in love with Jerry! They kept me updated with news and photos while I was away. Thank you both.

Response from Penny & Jerry
We had a lovely time looking after Truffles who is a very affectionate dog and loves her walks.This is a fabulous location , perfect for exploring and we were made to feel very welcome . We would happily return or recommend to others.

Penny and Jerry came and house sat for us recently. I wasn't here to meet them when they arrived (they were shown around by our son) but we had excellent communication with them and were very reassured that all was well. I returned home to find happy pets and everything well looked after as well as a delicious curry waiting for me. As they were not leaving until the following morning I was able to spend the evening getting to know them and they are a delightful couple. I would have no hesitation in recommending them as house sitters and very much hope that they will be able to come and sit for us again another time.
