About this sitter
We are a retired couple who owned and ran a bed and breakfast for ten years. We have been thinking for a while about moving away from the UK to spend our retirement somewhere new and inviting, but can't quite decide where this should be. We both like pets and usually look after the pets while the family go on holidays. We speak English and German.
Why they want to house sit
We enjoy travelling and would like to try different ways of life. We believe it is much more interesting and entertaining to experience a new culture from someone's home rather than a tourist hotel. We enjoy taking care of animals and would love to do this for your pets while exploring a new country.
Their experience
Eddie has many years experience in the building industry and knows how to maintain a property. Minor repairs are no problem. Vera ran the guest house and is thorough and methodical where housework is concerned. We both love taking care of animals and enjoy walking with dogs and playing with cats. We have owned a variety of pets in the past, including budgerigars, rabbits and chickens.
We are, by now, also quite experienced house sitters, having completed sits in Mauritius, Spain and France, and also in the UK. We enjoy taking care of animals and keep properties clean and tidy.
What can they bring to the assignment
We are very experienced in looking after houses and animals, Eddie is a competent gardener, and Vera is his eager apprentice. We are clean and houseproud, non smokers, reliable and trustworthy. We are independent and able to travel at short notice.

Testimonials
Vera & Eddie
I was SO lucky to have Vera and Eddie come and look after my dogs here in Mauritius. Very responsible, caring, conscientious, I couldn't fault them at all. They came two days before I left so as we got to know each other and the dogs could get to know them too before leaving. I then went away for over two weeks feeling hugely relieved that I was leaving the dogs in safe hands. They seemed to enjoy their stay and the dogs loved them as was obvious when they were crying outside their door the day after they left ! I would welcome them with open arms if they were willing to come again.
Lynn , Mauritius, 15 July, 2017
Vera & Eddie looked after our house, two dogs, and several cats for a week in March 2017.
Vera & Eddie were clear and helpful in their communication and organisation, and arrived the day before we left so they could get to know the dogs, and how things worked around the house. They were happy to do some watering while we were away, and the house was clean and tidy when we returned. The dogs had obviously been very well looked after. Vera & Eddie are caring and reliable people, and we felt able to relax in the knowledge our house and animals were in safe hands. We'd happily have them sit for us again, and are happy to recommend them to others!
