Experienced house/pet sitter

About this sitter

Fit, active very experienced home & pet sitter. Employed as a private live-in housekeeper including care of family pets, formerly nursing at 24 hour veterinary hospital. Very experienced at long term sits in UK and Spain. Spanish speaker. Rural, semi rural, urban, happy anywhere. Love a good walk & meeting people.

Why they want to house sit

I love the company of animals and my pets were always happiest in their own home. It's a great way to have a break, explore different areas whilst providing this type of support to people & pets.

Their experience

I am very experienced having provided a professional dog walking and pet/house sitting service for some years in the UK, as well as enjoying longer term and repeat pet/house sits in Spain. I also worked for 3 years on a busy nursing team in a large 24 hour veterinary hospital. I don't have my own pets at the moment but I have had my own dogs of various breeds & sizes over the years as well as cats, horses, a cockatoo and a rat.
I work as a live-in private housekeeper so being responsable for large properties is familiar to me and also have excellent references from the veterinary practice and home/pet sit clients. You can view one testimonial via this website and I have further testimonials from repeat clients via other sources.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am 100% reliable, resourceful and upbeat. I look after the animals and home as if they were my own. I understand the strong emotional bond we share with our pets and why their welfare is top priority when we're away. I have left my own home for long periods, so I understand the importance of peace of mind in knowing that your home is secure & well maintained in your absence and pets/animals are relaxed and happy. I'm tidy, organised, non smoker and a good communicator. I love nature & hiking and I'm at home in the country or town/city.
