ANIMAL LOVERS WHO HAVE GROWN UP WITH DOGS AND NEW TO TRUSTED HOUSE SITTERS

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.

What a delightful couple, who looked after our two dogs (and house) brilliantly! We were reassured from the moment we made contact with Andrew and Sheena and that feeling never left us as we received regular updates throughout our absence. We were all very sorry to see them leave upon our return!...

Sheena & Andrew were a great find & the perfect couple to look after Toby and our home. They clearly love animals and Toby took to them immediately. They also looked after our home really well - we had a great, relaxing vacation thanks to Sheena and Andrew - we would happily invite them again and strongly recommend them to anyone who cares about their furry friends and home - they will both be in very good hands

What lucky dogs! My two dogs landed a gold mine when Andrew and Sheena arrived to take care of them for a weekend. I felt comfortable straight away from speaking to them on the phone which continued until they arrived right on time. Their communication was great, just enough to make me feel comfortable and I am pretty sure my dogs were spoiled with attention and care. Really pleasant couple who obviously care very much for all the pets they look after. We arrived back home just as we left it and could not be happier with having them look after our two dogs. I would ask them back to our home without any question. Thank you Andrew and Sheena!

Response from Sheena & Andrew
Thanks Kimberley for your wonderful review. We felt very privileged that you and Paul gave us the opportunity to look after your wonderful home and of course Frannie & Scamp who were absolutely adorable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love the opportunity to take care of Frannie & Scamp again. We would not hesitate to recommend anyone who has the opportunity to sit for Kimberley to do so. Thanks again.
