About this sitter
I am an adventurous, independent creative person who loves nature, travel and wildlife! I also love relaxing, cosiness and a bit of animal company. Ideally I'd like a house sit in the countryside with rural or picturesque walks nearby and dogs or cats to hang out with. I love a good farmshop and wild swimming. If the area is more urban, having arts/music venues nearby would be a plus!
Why they want to house sit
I've traveled all over the UK and Ireland in my campervan in 2023 and have loved it, so I want to continue the lifestyle as much as possible. Housesitting offers the opportunity to enrich my experience of a country or area by meeting people who live there and becoming a temporary resident, rather than a complete nomad! It's an honour to be trusted to live in someone's home and look after their furry family members, and feels really special to know you're helping someone have peace of mind while they're away.
Their experience
I have completed two housesits through Mind My House, looking after two lovely dogs each time, and have cat-sitted for my sister. I've also done some wwoofing which involved helping out on farms in exchange for food and accommodation. I've milked cows, fed pigs, bottle-fed lambs, man-handled sheep, mucked out horses, moved livestock and of course played with many dogs and fussed over many cats.
We had a family dog for fourteen years - a small/medium mixed breed called Georgie who I loved to take on long rambling walks and miss dearly, and I've had my big tom cat Ralph since I was seventeen.
What can they bring to the assignment
I'm very trustworthy, respectful and organised. I've always been a responsible and reliable person and am happy to provide contact details for current references. I tend to get on with most animals as I am quite calm and relaxed, warm and loving but firm when it's needed. I love long walks, and despite traveling a lot am a bit of a home-body, so would happily keep pets company for most of the day. I'm well used to looking after cats and dogs as we've had them at home and I really enjoy hanging out with them.

Testimonials
Wonderful Miriam
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a kind and caring individual for our two dogs and home. She is an amazing, warm, talented, and artistic person; in the little time we had to get to know each other, we shared wonderful, heartfelt conversations and laughter; it felt like meeting an old friend. She has a way with animals; our dogs immediately fell in love with her! She consistently kept us updated, sending us beautiful photos of our happy doggies. Upon our return, our house looked like a hotel, so spotlessly clean and tidy. She even prepared a delicious meal and baked a cake for us! We wholeheartedly recommend her and truly hope she'll be willing to housesit for us again!

Perfect House Sitter
I found Miriam to be very capable, independent, reliable and trustworthy and great at using her initiative, all in all making her an excellent house sitter. It was the first time I had left a stranger to mind the house and my two canine babies and I was quite apprehensive but Miriam soon put my mind at ease. She kept me regularly updated and sent pictures of the dogs out on the lovely walks she brought them on. She is a calm and relaxed person who was loving towards the dogs - there was no doubt she was great with them, they were both very attached to her on my return and a little sad to see her leave. The house was spotless when I returned. Miriam had done everything I asked of her without any issues and had even attended to some extra little jobs around the house. I recommend Miriam for any house sitting or other positions. You will certainly be leaving your home and pets in safe and capable hands with her.
