I’m a Sitter who uses Sitters and understands you

About this sitter

We are both animal lovers and my cats are my babies (Nellie). We are very outdoorsy and love wildlife and nature. We are both quiet people and animals tend to warm to us both very quickly. I think they can sense when someone is calm and affectionate:)

Why they want to house sit

We both love animals and exploring new places. Pets don’t generally like to leave their territory and for our cats - they get really distressed, so we have always used house sitters when going away as we don’t like the idea of putting them in a cattery. Both are rescue cats from Cats Protection and our chickens are ex-colony hens from Fresh Start for Hens.

We would rarely come as a couple as we have cats and chickens of our own to look after.

Their experience

John grew up on farm with anything up to 20 dogs and we have both looked after a range of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits and chickens as pets. Nellie is currently studying animal first aid.

What can they bring to the assignment

As we use sitters ourselves, we know how important it is to communicate with people and keep them updated and reassured. we both also value a clean environment and would treat your home with the most respect and attention. We also offer additional services such as gardening, batch cooking and cleaning (for an additional fee).

We are both keen runners and walkers so would be happy to give your dog as much exercise as they need.
