About Fiona & Alan

We are a couple in our early sixties, with cats and hens of our own. Alan loves painting, drawing & gardening and Fiona enjoys doing Yoga, walking, reading & practising European languages.

We are a couple in our early sixties, with cats and hens of our own. Alan loves painting, drawing & gardening and Fiona enjoys doing Yoga, walking, reading & practising European languages.

Why we want to house sit

We have had people house sitting at our home for six years and have been house sitting ourselves too during the past two years. We like to travel in the winter and spring months, as we run a B & B during the warmer months. Alan is self-employed and Fiona is a retired languages teacher.

Our experience

We have both had cats all our lives, as well as in our 20 years together. Before we met, we both had dogs in our families. We live in woodland with lots of dog-walkers and often stop to chat with our neighbours. We have kept a variety of hens for six years now. As homeowners we are used to caring for properties and dealing with any issues which may arise.

    Fiona and Alan were awesome house and pet sitters. Because we couldn’t meet in person before they came to my house, we organized a meet via Skype. We discussed many aspects of the TH process and because they had much experience with it, it encouraged me to feel comfortable as a first timer!
    The first night I was away, we chatted on the phone about their arrival and it was reassuring to hear their voices from my home while I was far away. They took really great care of my cat and dog, taking the dog to the suggested dog park and enjoying their time with him. We kept in touch while I was away and I could hear about how my puppy was doing! When I returned home, the house was in awesome condition! They had left a hand written note about their experience and how they left the house. They folded my laundry I forgot about from the dryer, too! And made beautiful art of the green space as they saw it looking out the window- a very endearing and memorable touch. Both my fur babies looked very happy when I returned and I was excited that my first trip away using trusted house sitters was Indeed a success!!!

    Response from Fiona & Alan

    We enjoyed staying in your beautiful home and being in the comfortable master bed with the relaxing bath en-suite. Murphy & Rumi were a pleasure to look after. The Red Deer Museum & Art Gallery was worth a visit to learn about the local history & there are some nice parks for dog walks. We wish you many more happy sitters!

    Fiona and Alan are the best cat sitters we’ve ever had, and everyone we had so far from Trusted Housesitters was very good, so that’s saying a lot. What made them stand out was that our shy and super-cautious pussycat took to both of them instantly and interacted with them as if they were us. Unprecedented. They are born cat people, who intuitively connect with our furry friends and make them feel that everything is absolutely fine.

    They also took very good care of our house, keeping it safe and secure, almost as important to us out in the countryside as looking after the pussycat. We are delighted that they have agreed to do a second sit for us and warmly recommend them to anyone with cats, including shy and finicky ones.

    It was a real pleasure! You made us feel very comfortable with your thorough information about the house and area. We look forward to more Pussycat communication.

    Fiona looked aft r my house and 2 loving labradors for a long weekend. Fiona was easy to contact both before and after the sit. She coped very well, even when only 10 minutes after arriving I left her to finish offf preparing supper, so I could collect a friend from the station.! I returned from my trip to a clean and tidy house and two very relaxed dogs. I would certainly recommend Fiona as a Housesitter and would use her again myself.
