About Steven
Worked with the elderly and later caring for my Mother with Alzheimers for the last 5 years. Now, semi-retired at 47 years old, intelligent, socially confident, capable of thinking on my feet should there be a problem - Boiler going out, heating system issues, windows, fences, leaks.

Why I want to house sit
Like animals, homes, seeing other peoples local areas, restaurants and conversing with different people.
My experience
Animals and children love me, I'm unsure why? Often asked by friends to look after their animals/homes whilst away. Caterham/Felbridge/Wimbledon. The longest time so far has been 6 weeks. Fit, able bodied can do other tasks as they arrive and not somebody who worries or frets. One house in East Grinstead I sit regular has 3 dogs, 1 rabbit, 2 tortoise.

Steven was a great house / pet sitter ! He made great efforts to keep my little chihuahua happy - and I know he was successful because the dog keeps looking out the front of the house for him to come back ! He took excellent care of his feeding and manged to get his (slightly) overweight down a bit - for which the vet sends his thanks. Steven kept the house well, and tidied up before my return with dishes and bed linen all washed (which I intended to do on my return). In the brief time we were both together when he spent a day before I left on holiday, he proved to be an interesting companion, whose company I enjoyed very much and gave me absolute confidence in his abilities to look after my house and dog. I have no hesitation in recommending him and would very much enjoy having him back again to do the same things in the future.

Steven was an excellent cat-sitter. It was great to come back to two non-sulking cats. They had obviously a great time together, as Steven even got them a laser pointer to keep them active. (A brilliant toy which we now use all the time!)

Communication with Steven was top-notch as he regularly updated us on the state of affairs, including pictures and videos on WhatsApp!- Organised

Response from Steven
Ah, thank you very much. I do try to keep everyone entertained - animals and humans alike. Nice to meet you both and nice to explore Royal Tunbridge Wells, I found a good local butcher and a restaurant or two.

We recently had Steve sit for us, whilst caring for our three dogs Max, Sweep and Billie.
It would be reasonable to say we were a little aprehensive beforehand, as it was our first time using the Site and we were going to be away for fifteen days.
We had no reason to worry whatsoever!

Steve was great, with clear concise communications throughout, Steve even offered to come a day earlier so he could join my wife on one of the dogs favourite walks, to get to understand the route and as Steve pointed out allowing the dogs to get used to Steve whilst we were still present. It worked brilliantly, we have never seen our dogs take to anyone as much as they took to Steve!
Steve, is a very organised guy and just makes you feel completely calm that you are entrusting your house and pets to him, the feeling is instant, really is quite a skill and consequently left us so completely relaxed for our scheduled departure the following day.
Steve, regularly kept in touch with us by sending photos or short videos of our dogs at play or enjoying their daily walk. Consequently, we both agreed it was our most relaxing holiday for as long as we could remember.
Nothing phases Steve, our electric gates failed, and we had neighbours with some minor issues and yet Steve managed these challenges effortlessly found solutions then simply updated us upon our return.
At the time of our scheduled return flight home it wasn't certain if our flight might be delayed due to snow. Without our even being asked Steve, juggled things around so he could stay longer, so as to ensure our dogs were cared for thus removing any stress and worry for for ourselves.
We returned to a spotlessly clean home and the most chilled out contented three dogs!
We truly did not envisage that the whole process could be so simple, so enjoyable. We are so pleased we signed up with TrustedHousesitters and so very fortunate to have had Steve for our first sitting. Thanks Steve, You're a star!!! (Sweep, Max and Billie send their love)- Organised
