I am recently retired and my husband and I are travelling Europe in our motorhome. We travel for periods of two or three months at a time. This means we are available for shorter or longer stays throughout the year. We are both fond of the outdoors but are equally happy with town or city life. I used to work for the British Library in the area of digital publications and then moved onto project based work at the national library of the Netherlands. Neil was a solicitor and still does occasional consultancy work when we are at home.
Why we want to house sit
We love travelling in our motorhome and sometimes it would be nice to stay put for a week or two and enjoy a few home comforts! We are both fond of animals but are not in a position to have any of our own at the moment. It would also be nice to make more of a connection with an area, if only for a short time, instead of just passing through.
Our experience
I have owned both cats and dogs at various periods throughout my life so I know how precious they are to their owners. This is true of my husband as well - we would both love to have one now but it would be problematic at this moment in our lives. I know that pets all have their own little idiosyncracies! We would do our best to look after them well and make sure they were content while in our care. As for house care, all I can say is that I am a home owner and while we are travelling we have friends and family looking after our house: I know what it feels like to have someone else in your home. I would exercise every care in someone else's home. I know from experience that the garden can be a problem if you are away for any length of time, especially if you like plants in pots. I am fond of gardening and we would both be happy to undertake routine gardening tasks.
