About this sitter

We are a married couple from the UK currently living in beautiful Plovdiv in Bulgaria. We run our own online English teaching company so can work from anywhere with a good connection.

We love to travel and integrate with other communities wherever possible, in the past we've lived and worked in Spain and Cambodia and have completed Workaway and Helpx placements in Thailand, Malaysia and the Isles of Scily.

We're both non-smokers and non-drinkers. We are homeowners in the UK so have a good understanding of the responsibilities of owning a property.

We've house sat for friends and family in the past but would now love to use this experience in a wider capacity.

We love looking after cats, we have a little experience of caring for chickens also but are open to other pets too. We prefer sits that are at least 2 weeks in duration. Our working hours are short and fall in the middle of the day European time 4 days a week, leaving plenty of time for animal care and cuddles.

We're looking for sits that are within walking distance of amenities as we don't drive and a good internet connection is important.

Why they want to house sit

We're both animal lovers who have had cats and dogs as pets growing up, our circumstances here don't allow for our own pets so housesitting is a good way for us to meet some new animal friends while seeing some more of the world.

We love to experience new countries and cultures, our work gives us the opportunity to work from anywhere so we're seizing the day and hoping to make some new happy memories.

Their experience

We have experience of caring for both cats and dogs for several friends and family members. We have completed short sits of a week as well as longer term, multi-month sits which included some gardening and home care as well as animal care.

We've completed one sit from MindmyHouse which we really enjoyed and have good feedback from and we have completed 2 sits through Trusted House Sitters, you can see our profile here:

Testimonials

They were absolutely wonderful

We had the pleasure of having Ed and Charlie as our cat sitters, and they were absolutely wonderful. Kind, warm-hearted, and attentive — they took such great care of our cats, who were clearly relaxed, happy, and at ease in their company. They also treated our home with great respect, leaving everything spotless and tidy. It was such a comfort to know our cats and our space were in such good hands. Their communication was clear and thoughtful throughout, and we always felt reassured and connected. We would absolutely recommend Ed and Charlie to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring sitters — they truly went above and beyond.

Ed and Sharlie were absolutely lovely housesitters

Ed and Sharlie were absolutely lovely housesitters! They kept in good contact with us from the start and were flexible about arrival times. We showed them our place and the cats the day before the sit began and everything went smoothly. Ed kindly sent us pictures of the cats everyday, and we returned to a very clean home with happy cats! Ed and Sharlie were also very lovely to get to know, albeit briefly. We would recommend them for pet-sitting, thank you :)

Ed and Charlotte were wonderful

Ed and Charlotte were wonderful - we felt really confident leaving our two cats and house in their care. When we spoke to them before confirming the sit, they asked loads of really good questions (including things we hadn't thought of!) and really put us at ease as it was our first time using a sitter. They were really communicative leading up to and during the sit, and sent updates every day which we had requested to be sure the cats were shut in at night as this was a concern for us. They sent lots of great content of them playing with the cats which was lovely to see and put us at ease while we were away and missing them! They left the house super clean and tidy, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone and we'd love to have them again!

Thank you to this kind and caring couple!

Sharlie and Ed are like two bright lights bringing joy and care to the space they're in. They took great care of our kitties, plants, and house. Both of the cats were relaxed and happy when we got back home. It was also such a wonderful feeling to come back to space so clean and well taken care of. It really exceeded our expectations! We knew that we could relax during our holidays and fully rely on and trust Sharlie and Ed. If there was a need to communicate they'd respond clearly and quickly. And their friendliness was a cherry on top. Thank you so much!
