Our experience

10+ years

We've had a number of pets of our own over the years, and both grew up in families where dogs were a big part of family life. We currently have a gorgeous Miniature Podenco dog and an elderly British Shorthair cat of our own (we lived in a

Would definately recommend Julia and her family as housesitters. The dogs and cat were well looked after and the house was spotless when we returned. Lovely

Julia is a highly responsible, organised and caring person. I have stayed with her and her family in a number of holiday rentals and they always look after the properties to a high standard and are respectful and considerate of others. They have frequently revisited properties both in the UK and overseas and have always been welcomed back, often having formed friendships with their hosts. Julia has looked after our pets while we have been away and I have always felt 100% confident that she cares for them to the highest standard. Having seen her and her family with their own cats and dog, I can assure you that you pets are in the safest of hands. Julia and the Thompson family are a lovely bunch whom you can rely upon to look after your home and pets with the upmost respect and care.

Why we want to house sit

We love to travel and visit new places so are hoping to get to see a bit more of the world and experience life in different regions/countries. We all love animals and meeting other people's furry (and not so furry!) friends. Over the years
