I love animals especially dogs but do not have pets of my own. I also love to travel so house sitting would fit both interests. I do not drive so if I'm travelling alone I may be restricted to houses with close public transport. However I could sit with my sister or friend who do drive as long as the house owner agrees. I am happy to look after cats and small pets such as rabbits as well as a dog. I have just joined Trusted House Sitters and so far have completed 2 house sits which I really enjoyed.
Why I want to house sit
I now have more time to visit new places, and house sitting would give a broader opportunity to visit places I have yet to explore, but with with the comfort and security of being in a home , with the bonus of the company of dogs and cats This is a real bonus when travelling alone Walking a dog would enable me to discover the local area and also possibly meet local people.
The house sitting opportunities on the site give such a variety of interesting homes, pets and the chance to stay in towns ,countryside and by the sea.
My experience
I have been a home owner for 30 years and so am of course used to ensuring the security and upkeep of houses. I have often hired cottages/houses both in UK and in Europe,some of which have been peoples second homes and so have been very aware of the need to take care of peoples belongings ,house and garden. I managed a community centre for many years and was responsible for security and running of the building , in addition to running a programme for local older people.
Since retiring I regularly "borrow" Peter a lovely Cavapoo for 2 days a week ,taking him for walks and bringing him to my home before taking him back to his home. He gives me a lot of pleasure and encourages me to get out and walk. This has worked well as I keep in regular contact with his owners. This great experience has confirmed that I can only manage one medium size dog and cats. However if owners agree to me sitting with a friend we could consider more pets.
In the past I have had my own dog and cat and have looked after other family members pets.

As Sue was our first experience with TrustedHousesitters, we were a little unsure about how things would go. However, as soon as we met Sue, we felt comfortable with her friendly, competent manner. She took great care of our pets and left our house spotless. We only hope that she will be able to sit for us again sometime!

Sue was excellent with our dogs; Lily and Benny took to her immediately and loved being with her. We think they would have liked to adopt Sue :-).

I thoroughly recommend Sue. This was the first time I used TrustedHousesitters and it worked out really well. Sue looked after my Cockapoo and 2 cats wonderfully. My dog had a great time and didn't miss me at all! I came home to an immaculate house and it couldnt have worked out better
