ANIMAL LOVERS WHO HAVE GROWN UP WITH DOGS AND NEW TO TRUSTED HOUSE SITTERS
About Sheena & Andrew

We are a couple, Sheena (50) & Andrew (48).
What may differentiate us from other potential house and pet sitters is that we are now in a position to be able to commit to acting as house and pet custodians on a permanent basis full time.
We can achieve this because we both work online so we are able to act as house and pet custodians whilst looking after our business interests.
We are originally from the Isle of Man but for the past 2 years we have lived in London and prior to that we spent 3 years living in Perth, Western Australia.
Andrew holds a full, clean, current driving licence.
Both our backgrounds are originally in Finance. Sheena worked in Banking and Fund Administration whilst Andrew looked after the property and investment offshore portfolios of the rich and famous.
Andrew is also a qualified personal trainer and whilst in Australia used to run WA Boot Camps for Women.
We have both grown up where dogs were a key member of the family and during our time in Perth, we both volunteered at the Dogs Refuge Home where we spend quality time with the dogs and took them for walks.
We have raised money for the Dog’s Home through running in the City To Surf Run and through Push Ups For Charity that Andrew organised.
Why we want to house sit
We have grown sick of the 'rat race' and still have a passion for travel and plan to spend time experiencing different places around the world so why not do that whilst also getting to spend quality time with animals and looking after someone else’s house.
It's a WIN WIN.
We are both hard working and practical people who were fed up of working just to pay the bills!
Housesitting allows us a great degree of financial freedom of movement as we both now work online. Andrew operates his own business consultancy and marketing agency and Sheena is a freelancer, meaning we are able to work from anywhere.
House-sitting further allows us the opportunity to visit new places, meet new people and become temporary pet guardians.
Sheena has this natural knack of remembering the names of all the dogs she meets.
As we are unable to have our own pets whilst we scratch our travelling itch, it is a pleasure to spend time with home owners pets, although it's always difficult to bid them farewell when the time comes for us to leave.
Our experience
Whilst we are new to Trusted House Sitters, we have many years of experience of looking after the family pets as well as looking after friends pets when they were away or at work.
As we have had the opportunity to travel over the years we have stayed in other people’s properties and always respect their property as if it was our own.
We are able to amuse ourselves quietly, we are not party people, and would intend for most of our time to be spent at the property including through the day.
We are both animal lovers and your pets would not lack attention from us.
We understand that each House Sit will come with its own unique set of requirements and we will look to provide regular email updates and images of pets for owners peace of mind or are happy to maintain regular contact via a platform such as Skype, Facetime, Google Hangouts or Zoom.
We see our role as being the guardians of your property and your pets and as such we will spoil your pets, maintain your property, deal with any pet/house emergencies which may arise, look after and garden maintenance and where required providing guest services for rental/holiday accommodation.
In summary:
- We offer honesty, reliability and commitment.
- We guarantee respectful care of your property.
- We assure you that your pets will have plenty of attention and loving company whilst you are away.
If you have any questions for us or would like to meet up via Skype/FaceTime please get in touch.
We very much look forward to hearing from you.

There aren't enough words to explain how wonderful Sheena and her husband Andrew are! We were SO lucky to have them look after our two year old and three year old dogs. From the beginning they were great at communicating with us and we even met 'face to face' via Skype the week before which was brilliant. They arrived a day earlier and stayed at a local hotel so they could come and get to know the dogs and we could show them the area and the best places for walks, shopping etc. The dogs warmed to them straight away. Whilst we were away on our two weeks vacation, we had regular updates, contact and photos. They even handled one of the dogs getting an ear infection and having to take it to the vet over the weekend as well as then administer the ear drops (which is never easy with our dog!). When we returned the house was spotless, the bed was remade and the dogs were settled and happy. We seriously can't recommend them enough and we only wish we could have them look after our dogs every time we go away!

Sheena and Andrew were brilliant! It was my first time using Trusted Housesitters so I was very new to the process, Sheena and Andrew were great and made me feel very safe and confident using the service. I was away for three nights and never once worried about my cat Sid and felt sure he was in safe hands. I came home and my flat was left in pristine condition. I can't thank them enough!!

Sheena and Andrew came for 2 1/2 weeks to my home in Seattle. They took care of my 13 year old dog, Olive, and when I returned home I couldn't even tell anyone had been living in my house. They were fantastic! It was so lovely to be traveling and feel so confident that Olive had such good care and attention. They sent me photos of her on walks, sleeping on the deck, and exploring her haunts which are always fun to receive on vacation. They also took care of my plants and watering the garden with care. There is no question, Sheena and Andrew are the best!
