Hi there
We are a young (68/61) professional couple who have taken early retirement and have been house/pet sitting internationally for six years, mainly in UK, Europe and Australia.
We have been married for 30 + years. Sue was a holistic therapist before retiring and I worked in the military and in facilities management.
When we are not travelling or house sitting we live in Plymouth in lovely Devon.
Why we want to house sit
Why would you not want to house sit? It gives you the chance to travel and to stay in some fantastic locations.
Most people do not want their animals to go into kennels/cattery while they are away and they appreciate them being looked after in a familiar, secure and safe environment.
Our experience
We have been home/pet owners and we can appreciate that people want to be able to go away on holiday and know that their house is secure and their pets are being loved and well looked after.

Very pleased with how our house sit went with Bob & Sue. Very reliable and trustworthy and extremely capable. Our dog Chester got loads of walks and I think he was quite disappointed when we came home judging by the photos of him sitting on Bob's lap, he looked as if he was having a lovely time. The house was immaculate when we returned. Would definitely have them again.

Bob and Sue pet sat for us recently for a three week spell. We were delighted to welcome them into our home and being experienced sitters we felt relaxed and confident about leaving our pets in their care. We were pleased to receive updates and photos throughout our sit and returned home to happy pets and a spotless home. Despite arriving home late at night Bob and Sue insisted on waiting at our home until our arrival which was a very thoughtful touch. We couldn't recommend them highly enough and would welcome them back anytime.

Response from Bob & Susan
Brenda and her husband made us feel very welcome when we arrived. They have a lovely home only minutes from the city of Plymouth - but you would think that you were in the middle of the countryside. The pets were lovely and a joy to look after.
Great housesit, lovely people and a beautiful location - highly recommended. -

Bob and Sue kept us informed about their arrival and turned up when they said they would. They were very good with the animals, kept us informed with emails and pictures and had a meal waiting for us when we returned to a tidy house and garden. We would have them back and would recommend them very highly.
