I'm currently working part time for a charity based in Camden. I provide home learning for pre school children with a range of disabilities. I also run a messy play drop in group once a week for children with special educational needs. Additional to the home learning I'm studying part time for a MSc in Psychology. Its suuuuuper interesting, I love it. Most week nights and week ends I'm reading articles and text books, doing research for projects. When I'm not nerding out I love going for walks either back up North (I'm from Yorkshire) in the Peaks or on the Heath. In the summer you will find my at the Ladies Pond, in the winter at the cinema. I grew up on a farm in Yorkshire so am very used to being surrounded by animals. Me and brothers had the lot, fish, rabbits, hampsters, guinea pigs, cats (So many cats!) chickens and a once even a budgie. I always wanted a dog as a child and was never allowed one. My parents (and probably quite rightly so) thought we had enough. I've looked after a couple of friend's dogs whilst they've been away and loved it. As said above I love going for walks, with friends or just listening to a podcast, so a dog slots in nicely to my daily routine.
Why I want to house sit
I moved out of my flat in Camden at the start of May and decided not to rent another place as I was pretty much travelling all summer. This summer I've done some sofa surfing with friends, staying in hostels and back at my parents on their Yorkshire farm in the interim between travelling. I'm doing a Masters in Psychology at The University of Westminster so when the new term starts I will need to be in London full time. I've decided to register for house sitting to carry on my nomad summer for as long as possible, to save money. I'm currently house sitting for a lovely couple in North London until the start of September and so am looking for various places full of furry friends as morel support for my studies from September 2018 - September 2019. Can provide a clear DBS (CRB) if necessary
My experience
First time using this website, however I'm currently house sitting for the whole of August. Previously to that I have house sat at colleges' houses whilst they are on holiday. Every 3 months I house sit for a family in North London who has a severely disabled son. They need to go abroad for work for 5 days - 1 week. So I look after the house and their child, he's a total sweetheart and its my absolute pleasure.

Ruby looked after my home (and 3 cats) over a long weekend. She kept the place tidy and I came back to find my home exactly as I had left it. You can tell she's a cat lover and she looked after them well. She was contactable the whole time on whatsapp and phone, she even sent me a couple photos of my cats, which was nice. I would recommended her for house sits, I'll certainly be calling on her again for my next holiday.
