I don't have a pet at this time but do have experience of owning both cats and dogs, of all breeds, also fish, gerbils and small caged birds.

I retired 2 nearly 3 years ago after working for Leicestershire Police for 20 years. I don't have a pet at this time but do have experience of owning both cats and dogs, of all breeds, also fish, gerbils and small caged birds. I do miss having a furry friend but friends allow me to be auntie to their pets so I do get the walks and the kisses and cuddles. I am a home owner and have lived in a variety of houses both large and small, maintaining both the house and the garden, and was also an allotment holder for a number of years. I am prepared to sit almost anywhere and my availability is flexible. I can speak some basic get by Spanish and I'm attending classes at the moment to improve that.
Why I want to house sit
I love animals and feel a bond with them, house sitting would enable me to satisfy and share some love as I am not in a position to offer a pet especially a dog a home at this time, this is because I want to travel and like you I do not want to use kennels or a cattery, I would also be able to look forward to the experience of new locations and meeting new people. I will always attempt to visit you before a sit where possible, but can be contacted via phone, email, whatsapp or Facebook if required. I would update regularly with photos etc as required.
My experience
I own my own property which I maintain to a good standard so I am able to look after your property or if unable to rectify any problems with your pets or home I feel I would be able to contact and liaise confidently with any vets, or tradesmen etc.. I have had the pleasure of owning a variety of pets and spending much of my childhood on family farms in Lincolnshire where I came into regular contact with cattle, horses and other farm yard animals, as well as farm dogs and cats and kittens. We had dogs and cats at home from a very early age, my Mother being a breeder of poodles. I joined Trusted Housesitters last year and have been pleased with my 5 star ratings.

Philippa looked after Poppy with the care and consideration needed. When I left her for my hols I knew she was going to get along fine. Philippa was kind and sent me updates on Poppy, and was very easy to work with. There were a few challenges here such as the Aga, but Philippa took them in her stride. I would welcome her back to look after poppy another time.8
