We are Jennie, Jon and Jesse, a british family looking to explore our world and meet some lovely people and animals along the way!
Im a Veggie Chef and create sustainable food projects, currently on a maternity break however!
Jon works as a co-operative education trainer and a community Samba teacher. Our little boy Jesse is a bundle of fun and enjoys smiling, gurgling and being outside around people, nature and toys!!
We are a socialable family and enjoy cooking and sharing food with our friends and family and creating events in our community, it is really important to be part of a community and share our skills and resources and fun!
We also enjoy being in nature and family walks, especially by the river and are especially happy to stumble on a cafe, we often find ourselves cosying up with a pot of tea in a cafe!!
Our favourite way to spend an evening is curled up by the fire under blankets with a movie, in summer we adore being in the garden until bedtime.
Why we want to house sit
We love to travel, explore new cultures and communities and having the opportunity to meet new people, whilst we also enjoy cosying up at home. Housesitting ticks all our boxes and more. We are really excited to introduce and explore with our son the world, introduce him to new environments, animals and wildlife both in the country and urban locations.
We enjoy spending time with animals but currently we cannot have them in the rental property we live, so its a pleasure to spend time looking after some else's pets. We are also hoping in the future to form an intentional living community and to have animals again, expanding our family including chickens and goats!
Our experience
I have grown up with cats and used to foster cats awaiting adoption for the cats protection league in Cambridge for 2years. I have also looked after friends cats and homes in Cambridge at times over the last 10 years and spent time in Kenya looking after my friends house and 2 big dogs!
Jon had a rescue dog for 10 years and also lived more recently with a friend who had a dog and would regularly dog sit
Jon has also run Air B and B successfully at a previous house, he really enjoyed sharing his home and time with guests and has great reviews. I lived in Kenya for a 18 months where in additition to my work i collectively cared for a large house which we ran as a community and place for people coming from all over the world to stay and share our home
We have both had experience living in different environments and in different countries,
Jon owns his home he rents out so is used to the work that entails, and is experienced in DIY!!

Jennie was a great cat sitter and left the house lovely and clean and tidy. I would have no hesitation in having her to stay again and would recommend her to other people. Thanks

Jennie and her family looked after our house and two cats for a week. They were just the right balance between reliable and organised and laid back. They asked all the right questions on arrival and seemed to love our place as much as we do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Thanks Jennie for looking after Ollie, he seemed very happy when I got back home. Thanks as well for sorting out the problem with the cat flap. I hope he wasn't too much trouble . It is so reassuring knowing someone is looking after not only the cat but the house too.
