About this sitter
Reliable and diligent, we have used this site several times successfully. Previously dog and cat owners (and hens!) we've enjoyed making new furry friends during house-sits (as well as human ones). We're friendly and take pride in paying particular attention to each house-owner's requirements. Honest, too, and if we commit to a sit then we'll stick to our word in most circumstances bar sudden death!
Why they want to house sit
Looking for more travel. We don't have much money. Endlessly curious about the world! Oh, and if there's a chance to look after someone else's pets for a little while, all the better... Having said that, we're also happy to look after your lovely pristine house without an animal in sight!
Also looking to have some quiet time to write and strum the guitar.
Their experience
Yes. Have house-sitting experience. Tuscany, Ireland, Greece,France, as well as Wales, England and Ireland. All brilliant experiences and lovely pets. Also, have worked abroad as a campsite courier for two summers, so used to dealing with things in a foreign situation. Travelled Europe extensively for almost three years. French speaking, not bad. German, broken. All else, have-a-bash standard.
Previously a professional in mental health, as well as teaching P/T [creative writing for a university].
What can they bring to the assignment
Peace of mind for the house-owners, I hope!
Worked in social care and mental health services for many years. Hope that's an indicator that I'm of a caring nature! Also, Terry is good with DIY for any minor issues!
Hopefully your house and animals will love us almost as much (but not quite as much) as they love you!
Current DBS online for Adrienne. Can provide house-sitter references.

Testimonials
Adrienne and Terry
Adrienne and Terry were a great couple to look after my dogs. They were thoughtful and reassuring and coped well with hiccups along the way (internet connectivity issues). The dogs, house and garden were well looked after and I have no hesitation recommending them.

Adrienne & Terry - Great Sitters
We recently had the good fortune to have Adrienne and Terry come and sit for us and our two dogs for a three week period. In addition to being easy conversationalists and good company, Adrienne and Terry were very responsible and attentive with the duties we had left them. They kept us well informed to give us the peace of mind to enjoy our holiday without bothering us unnecessarily. We came back to our house and garden clean and tidy having been well looked after and did a great job of walking our dogs daily and keeping them happy. They did a great job of managing our veggie patch in our absence. I would definitely welcome them again as trustworthy, reliable sitters, and highly recommend them to anybody else.

Amazing Adrienne & Terrific Terry!
I had a wonderful experience with Adrienne and Terry who looked after my 2 dogs for 2 weeks. My boiler broke the day before I was going away and Adrienne and Terry were really understanding and accommodated the plumber coming to put in a new one. My house and dogs were looked after so well and it was a pleasure to work with Adrienne and Terry during this dog sit. I would highly recommend Adrienne and Terry.

Peace of Mind
Thank you to Adrienne and Terry for looking after my cottage and my elderly cat. They took great care of everything and kept me posted while I was away. Would have no problems recommending them

Perfect Peace of Mind
Adrienne and Terry were just brilliant! They took care of our cats and our home beautifully. Everything was easy. Communication was great, the cats loved the attention and the house was immaculate when were returned... we even had a hot meal waiting for us on our return.
