About this sitter

I am an adventurous, independent creative who loves nature, travel and wildlife, but 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 been traveling all over the UK and Ireland all summer in my campervan (which is unfortunately too small to house both me and a dog), so I'd love to have the option of a few days or weeks to explore a new area whilst also having a few home comforts and/or furry sidekicks!

Their experience

I have house/cat-sitted for my sister before, and also whilst traveling in New Zealand I did some wwoofing - which involved helping out on farms in exchange for food and accomodation. I've milked cows, fed pigs, bottle-fed lambs, man-handled sheep, mucked out horses, weeded and of course played with many dogs and fussed over many cats.

What can they bring to the assignment

I'm very trustworthy, reliable and respectful. I've always been a responsible and mature person and am happy to provide contact details for current references. I like most animals and they seem to like me. (I'd have to draw the line at tarantulas). 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 have them at home. (Although unfortunately our family dog of 14 years has just died, so I'm looking forward to doggy walks and cuddles again!)
