We are Gill & Clive a self-funded, retired married couple from London, both house trained adults! We are non-smokers and have clean driving licenses and our own car.
Clive is a qualified carpenter/joiner with many years experience of running his own company and is happy doing simple plumbing and electrics too. I'm Gill and I have recently retired from British Airway after 20 years as a Senior Customer Service Manager. I also speak some Spanish, having lived in Spain for a while.
We appreciate how difficult it is leaving your animals and home in the care of strangers, especially if it's the 1st time. But please rest assured that we will treat everything with love and care as we would want someone to look after our precious things.
Why we want to house sit
We spend 6 months of the year, from June, in our house on the Gulf Coast of Florida USA, returning to the UK/Europe for December through till May. We are available to sit in both the USA and UK/Europe within these time frames and would be delighted to house sit for you and your 'extended families'. We have always had dogs & cats of our own, but now, because of travelling, it is not possible. House sitting gives us a great chance to continue looking after pets and enjoying their company.
Our experience
We have experience in all of over 30 house sits, some repeats and all very successful and extremely enjoyable. All, so far, have involved looking after family pets - and in one case, someones elderly mother too - but we are more than happy to just sit for your house! We have remained in touch with almost all of our previous home owner which is really nice and in 9 cases been back to sit for them again.
We enjoy gardening and Clive is more than happy to tackle maintenance around the property and grounds. In fact between us we can handle pretty much all types of chores that are needed to run a successful and happy home.
Being home owners ourselves, we are also very aware of the need to be vigilante about security issues.
We find the key to a successful House-sit, is to be adaptable and sort out whatever comes along (a leaking roof or an unwell pet) as it happens.
We are honest, reliable with a good sense of humour and are available to answer any questions in the first instance by telephone, email, Skype or if possible a pre-visit.

Gill and Clive are a delightful couple who looked after my dogs and house perfectly, they kept in touch while I was away which was very reassuring, although I was totally comfortable leaving my dogs with them. I hope they will become regular sitters if free!! Thank you both very much.

Response from Gill & Clive
It was a pleasure to sit for Lottie and Chester along with your lovely home too. They are wonderful dogs and I wanted to dogknap both of them and take them back home with me! Anytime we are free, we will gladly return to Amersham.

Gill and Clive sat for us while we were away for five days and I would highly recommend them. This was my first experience of using house sitters and they have certainly set a high standard. My labrador, cat and hens were very well looked after and the house was tidy with milk etc in the fridge and even some lovely flowers on the table. They were a delight to meet and I hope that they will want to come again in the future as I would certainly have peace of mind leaving them in charge of things. Thank you Gill and Clive.

Super family and super cats. House and gardens were gorgeous and we really enjoyed our sit there. Would be delighted to be asked back again!
