Animal Loving 40-Something Couple

About this sitter

Hi! We're Sam and Chris, we're a couple in our 40s and parents to an old lady Shar Pei dog Nora, three Maine Coon cats Rufus, Eliza and Mia and varying numbers of rescue hens.

We're very flexible on the type of housesit and pets that need looking after and not shy to put it in a bit of work during our stay.

Why they want to house sit

We're excited by the idea of travelling both the UK and further afield and to do this by staying in homes to see the 'real life' of the place rather than from a hotel in a tourist trap!

Their experience

Other than looking after the homes and pets of family and friends whilst they're away, we haven't got any 'official' housesitting experience however Sam has plenty of animal experience having always grown up with dogs and now living with our own menagerie. I have a boring job in financial services but as I'm self-employed and work from home, it allows me to also work where my passion lies which is with a friend running Alpaca walks (we have 10) as well as taking them out to schools, care homes and even weddings! We also have 4 cheeky Pygmy Goats that never fail to entertain!

Chris is also an animal lover and pretty handy having run his own wood working business. He's always happy to have a go at anything that needs fixing.

What can they bring to the assignment

We're a very relaxed couple who will care for your homes and pets as if they were our own.
