About Victor & Janet

We are both interested in travel and meeting people from other regions of the UK and overseas. Our hobbies include country walks and exploring towns and cities.

Why we want to house sit

Having worked full time for most of our adult lives, and as we are recently retired and fit and active we feel house sitting would give us the ideal opportunity to see places and people we have just not had time to visit/see during our working lives.

Our experience

We have both recently retired, but as we are fit and active and interested in travel both in the UK and overseas we are keen to be involved in house sitting. we have had cats as pets in the past and although we have never had dogs as pets, we have recently successfully completed a house-sit with a dog in residence.

Thank you so much Victor and Janet for looking after our home, Lily the cat and our fishpond for 2 weeks whilst we were on holiday.
We really appreciated returning home after a weary journey to a very clean and tidy house .
Lily thoroughly enjoyed you company and all the affection , finding us below par on cuddles for the rest of the day.
We do hope you enjoyed your stay in our area and thank you again for looking after everything so well

Response from Victor & Janet

Many thanks, Angela and Graham, for having us in your home. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay. Looking after lily the cat was an absolute pleasure, she is so sweet and gentle, quite vocal at times and great fun to be with. We certainly miss her! Your house is very comfortable, clean and streamlined and the guest bedroom with en-suite was large and very comfortable. The garden and fish pond are lovely and not overlooked by the adjoining properties. Thanks for providing the detailed written list of information and contacts, which made our stay so much easier. We would recommend this sit to anyone and would love to return sometime soon.
Thanks again,

Janet and Victor

This was the first time that we had used this site for finding a pet sitter and Victor and Janet were just perfect. They looked after our 2 shy cats for us over a long weekend and the cats were clearly soon at ease with them. A huge thank you! + More

Victor and Janet were the perfect housesitters. They communicated well before they arrived and made friends immediately with our demanding cat. They kept in touch while we were away and on our return and we came home to a very contented cat and spotless house. I would recommend them highly. + More

Hi Jane,
Many thanks for your kind review. We had a wonderful time, thanks to the fine weather, your very organised household, detailed information of the surrounding areas and walks,etc. and of course Ginger Cat, to which we became very attached to once we got used to her vocal nature! I have just found your Devon walks book which I left in the car and I will post this back to you.
Once again, thanks for having us.

Kind regards,

Victor and Janet
