Reliable, trustworthy couple to look after your home and pets.
About Jan & Chris
We are a mature (but not too old - yet) friendly early retired couple, who love cats and dogs and many other pets and have cared for many 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 (but not too old - yet) friendly early retired couple, who love cats and dogs and many other pets and have cared for many 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 take great care of your pets and home and cherish them as you would.
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 or Whatsapp - Skyping etc.
Why we want to house sit
We used Trusted House sitters for many years, looking after our house and cat. We recently lost our cat after 21 years, so are now keen to care for other pets to help fill the void (we can't actually remember a time when we didn't have a 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 about the safety of their house and pets.
Our experience
We are homeowners both in the UK and in Italy, so used to looking after property at home and in overseas countries (including pool maintenance) and dealing with any issues that may arise home and away. We have considerable experience of pet care and house sitting and care.
We had our last cat for more than 21 years, and dogs and other pets in the past, and have a lot of experience in caring for a wide range of 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 and historic art house nearby.
We have completed several sits and like to think that we care your your home and pets as you would. We are very happy for you to check our references.
Chris also has an enhanced police DBS (disclosure and barring service) check certificate (2018) with his volunteering work.

Thank you again to Jan and Chris, I returned home and could instantly tell that Josie was very happy and contented. It was great to receive regular photos & updates whilst I was away. Jan and Chris left the house immaculate and were very kind and left me a plant for my garden. I am hoping they will want to come and house sit again as it was all so easy and they are such a lovely couple!

Jan and Chris were my first experience of Trusted House Sitters and I have to say I felt truly blessed when they answered my profile. From meeting them for the first time, they made me feel very confident that Josie would be well looked after. They are such a warm couple and I would highly recommend them. During the sitting, they sent me updates and photos which was lovely. When I returned home, Josie was very happy and content. She had obviously had a wonderful time!

I was lucky enough to have Jan and Chris come to sit for my cat Sheba from3rd t the 7th September 2018. They came to visit me a week or two before the sit to meet me and Sheba and and were so friendly and helpful, obviously well organised and dependable that I had no qualms at all about leaving my cat and home with them. They radiated confidence and good humour which I was particularly grateful for as a senior citizen and quite stressed out at this time.They were so good and coped with everything far above the call of duty: came the evening before as I had an early start and gave me a lift to the coach, sent me updates on what was going on at home and Sheba in particular, looked after workman finishing a job in the garden and cleaned up floors after them, to mention a few. Left the bungalow spotless and a very happy cat who seemingly had not missed me. So, I would have no hesitation in recommending Jan & Chris to anyone seeking very special carers for their pets. I give them five stars all round.I feel privileged to have met them through Trusted Homesitters.
