Jaqui & Altaf

About this sitter

My name is Jaqui I have been travelling with my friend, co-writer and travelling companion Altaf. I am a qualified chef and Altaf has a background in construction and carpentry. Having both been end of life carers for our mothers we decided to reset our lives and travel. Currently we are in the process of writing our second children's fantasy novel and use our travelling experiences to feed our imagination and grow ideas.

Why they want to house sit

We are experienced full-time house and pet sitters. We have been sitting for many years in a variety of different countries, including, UK, mainland Europe, Hong Kong, Thailand, and NZ. We were members of Trusted Housesitters for many years and are proud that we had in excess of 50 5-star ratings. Sadly we have decided to leave that platform as the number of housesits available have reduced substantially whilst the fees have increased.

Their experience

Please bear in mind we are both full time house-sitters and travel throughout UK and Europe, so we when we apply for your Housesit we may not be in your area. We generally like to try to meet up before our sit so that we get to meet you and your pets but if this is not possible, we are available for Facetime or Skype. We can also provide you with references from previous hosts.

We look forward to meeting you and caring for your home.

What can they bring to the assignment

We are professional, hardworking, trustworthy and fully committed to providing you with peace of mind whilst you are away. We are also extremely practical, competent, calm and solution focused. We are experienced at looking after a wide range of pets and farm animals, including aged, and those with medical needs. We are good, kind and genuine people and will care for your home and pet family as if it were our own.
