About Syd & Nadine

I am a retired police inspector and my wife a retired police officer. We are both fit and active and love animals and nature.

I am a retired police inspector and my wife a retired police officer. We are both fit and active and love animals and nature.
We have both travelled extensively, from back packing on around the world trips to orang-utans in Sumatra and motorcycle safari's in East Africa.
We have kept dogs, cats, snakes, guinea pigs, tropical fish, birds and stick insects!
During my service, I was vetted to the highest levels due to the sensitive nature of my work involving national security, so you can be assured of our honesty, integrity, discretion and dedicated consideration and responsibility for your pets and property.

Why we want to house sit

As our two boys are now old enough to fend for themselves, we are in a position to spend more time in pursing our passion of exploring and experiencing different places and cultures. We also love the experience of gaining the confidence, caring for and getting to know different pets, as they are all unique and enrich our lives in so many different ways.

Our experience

We bring you security, peace of mind and genuine loving care for your pet/s.

We have both been brought up with animals, mainly dogs and cats, but have also owned and looked after, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes and stick insects!

We have puppy walked police dogs that lived with us from the age of 8 weeks to 14 – 18 months old and also delivered basic training until they were ready to start full time police training and assessment with dog handlers. It was a very satisfying experience to watch them succeed, apart from the wrench when they leave us to join a handler, but we were glad to do our bit.

We are both in our fifties and are fit and full of energy and enthusiasm, but with the wisdom and experience that comes, not only with age, but also with our extensive life experience.

We both hold police driving qualifications, so if vehicles are involved as part of a house sit, you are also assured of the highest driving standards.

Yes, we enjoy travelling and exploring but also take our responsibilities with pets and homes, treating those as the first priority. We conduct ourselves in the manner in which we would expect in return and our reviews speak for themselves.

Best wishes

    Response from Syd & Nadine

    Thank you so much for the lovely review Mel and it was an absolute pleasure meeting you both and your gorgeous babies! We were also very impressed with your planning and communication. You couldn't have done more to ensure that we didn't experience any problems whilst you were away. Furthermore, your efforts with regards to communicating with your internet provider to iron out issues was commendable. If you ever visit Manchester, we would love to meet up with you again. Take care and we wish you all the very best. Syd and Nadine :)

    When we put our first advert on trustedhousitters we were surprised by the volume of interest. We chose Syd and Nadine as they seemed very trustworthy (both retired from the police force) and reliable (based on their profile reviews). It was a good choice. Communication with Syd was easy and pleasant - both before and during their stay, and at the end of our break we came back to not only a happy and contented cat but also to a flat that seemed tidier then when we left. We hope they enjoyed their stay here and would definitely have them back on another occasion. Suffice to say them come highly recommended from us.

    Syd provided excellent care for our pets, 2 dogs and a cat, our many potted plants and our home. He kept us informed of day to day events, with care, responsibility and good humor. I would gladly have he and his wife back again. We were impressed with him when we met him and pleased with his care of our home and pets when we returned and found the place at least as clean and tidy as we had left it.
