Hi we are are Gary and Catherine, a mature responsible couple who are eager to let you relax while you are away as we look after your home and pets. We retired in 2016 from our full time work life as a construction office manager and occupational therapist respectively. We really understand how important it is to have your home and much loved pets securely looked after while you are travelling as that will be our situation too in the coming year.
We are an organised, responsible, fit and adaptable couple and will respectfully look after your home and garden while ensuring your beloved animals maintain their routine in your absence.
Why we want to house sit
To offer a service to the level we would want for ourselves
To experience everyday life in other parts of our own country and abroad
To minimise the distress for your pets when their routine gets altered
Our experience
We have between us owned and loved dogs and cats over our lifetime
We have at present a most adored found cat Sybil and have always had her looked after in our home as we know her routine is so important and ate fortunate to have had our son and his girlfriend move back home for a year which means Sybil's routine is not disturbed by our travels.
We are organised and practical people who can easily adapt to the routines required for your pets and home.
We have been responsible homeowners for over thirty years and can apply ourselves to keeping your home and garden in good order while you are away.
We have current DBS certificates

Catherine and Gary came to our rescue when our booked sitters cancelled. They have sat for us before and we were delighted that they came back for a second sit. Very highly recommended.

Communication was good before and during the stay and I would definitely be pleased to have them sit for us again. Enzo was perfectly happy when we got back and we had peace of mind while we were away.- Organised

Response from Catherine & Gary
This is a great sitting opportunity. Paul and Phillpa are a lovely couple. They have a beautiful comfortable home which is in a great location with walks from the door and quick access to lots of great Yorkshire places to visit. Enzo is a gorgeous cat and is very accommodating of House guests and will quickly engage you in door opening routines and likes to keep an eye on all that is going on. There is lots of useful house and local information and we were made to feel welcomed and relaxed on both our sits. We would thoroughly recommend this sitting opportunity.

Catherine & Gary stayed at my home and cared for my 2 Cockapoos for 4 days. My boys fell in love with them and that was clear to see when they looked for them the next day after they’d left in the spare room!

My house was kept clean & tidy and not only did they arrive with gifts they left me gifts of wine, buns and a beautiful card too!
We experienced the Beast from the East whilst they stayed so they coped with extreme snow & kept my dogs clean, dry, warm & exercised through all of this horrific weather & we could not have asked for better people to be our house sitters. Highly recommend them as wonderful house and pet sitters :)- Organised
