About Jan & Chris
We are a mature friendly early retired couple, who love cats and dogs and have had many pets over the years. We would love to explore many parts of the world in our retirement and care for pets and homes. We are both in good health and both drive. We are non smokers and like to keep a tidy, clean home.

We are a mature friendly early retired couple, who love cats and dogs and have had many pets over the years. We would love to explore many parts of the world in our retirement and care for pets and homes. We are both in good health and both drive. We are non smokers and like to keep a tidy, clean home.
We are both up to date with modern technology and more than happy to keep in touch with owners as much as they would like, including the sending of photos etc.
Why we want to house sit
We have been with Trusted House sitters for many years looking after our house and pet. We know what a wonderful experience it can be for both parties - sitters and pets. We like to explore local communities and help owners to get a well earned break away without worry. We recently lost our 21 year old cat so we are keen to care for other pets now to help fill the void (we can't actually remember a time when we didn't have a pet).
Our experience
We are homeowners both in the UK and in Italy, so used to caring for property in both countries (including pool maintenance) and dealing with any issues that may arise home and away. We have considerable experience of pet care.
We have had a cat for more than 21 years, and dogs and other pets in the past, so have a lot of experience in caring for animals.
Jan has volunteered at Raystede Animal Welfare Centre, in the cattery section. Chris has volunteered for a homelessness charity in Brighton and currently volunteers at a local National Trust house.
Chris also has an enhanced police DBS (disclosure and barring service) check certificate (2018) with his volunteering work.

Jan and Chris were simply wonderful housesitters - they made me feel able to trust them from our first communications and followed through with a really reassuring manner. They clearly understood our needs, especially those of our kitten Oscar, providing much attention and care. They left the place spotless and kept in communication. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Jan and her husband Chris were next door neighbours for some years when we became good friends, and that friendship has continued after we both moved house about two years ago. I would describe both of them as completely trustworthy, and I imagine they would be very careful and caring of other people's property and pets.

I have known Jan for about 11 years and Chris for about 32 years, and they are close friends of ours. They are friendly and welcoming, helpful and supportive, and can always be relied upon to be there when you need them.
