Reponsible ,adaptable ,intelligent and friendly older couple hoping for adventure while caring for your pets, house and garden

About this sitter

We are an older couple , Sarah and Peter, ages 63 and 79,. We enjoy the company of animals, particularly cats, but also enjoy all animals in general . We are open to all sorts of situations and are very flexible , and can find adventure almost anywhere . We also love gardening, are very conscientious and like to keep things neat . We enjoy quiet countryside / beach walks and beautiful landscapes but would be equally happy in a vibrant city , village or town with a interesting/ quaint vibe or/and historical interest .
We would treat your animals with all the care and attention they deserve , as well as respecting and caring for your plants and your home .

Why they want to house sit

We have always enjoyed travelling and prefer to.immerse ourselves in the area rather than just be tourists and skim the surface. ..Also we like to.discover the distinct personality of every area,
, home and animal that we meet . We are interested in the flora and fauna of each area as well as local galleries,museums pubs and charity shops ..
Housesitting allows us to stay in interesting, often off that beaten track places and really get to know what it's like there . Plus the idea of
snuggling up with or getting to
know cats, dogs , rabbits, birds,
chickens etc as well seems like
an added treat but we would also
take our job very seriously .
We have two testimonials on here but another on Housesitter co.uk. whi h I can get for you We can get police checks if you need .
Id also like to say , we have always had cats ( decades of cats ?) and have two of our own and they are our favourite pet to take care of .

Their experience

Update : Since we put this profile on we have enjoyed three housesits , both delightful and interesting in their own way .I will have to add to the advantages of
a housesit thus far , the added
advantage of meeting a friendly
host !
We have cared for cats and dogs, old and young ,rejuvenated a garden , and successfully watered many houseplants! Plus having cats and dogs throughout our whole life, mostly cats .we also own our own home, so understand the maintenance and occasional troubleshooting needed .

What can they bring to the assignment

We would hope that we could create a stress free environment for that owners by getting all the details needed for properly caring for your animals and providing
comfort for them as well as
keeping your house and / or garden maintained and tidy . We
have experience with cats( our
favourite ) but also dogs( less experience than
cats,), rabbits, guinea pigs ,
gerbils, hamsters ,(our children
loved animals too) and caring for
wild birds , and spend many hours
gardening . We have little
experience with horses and
chickens but would enjoy caring
for them and getting to know them !
Mainly , we would want to make it as stress free as possible for that thost while still checking in with photos / reports of their pets and house if they wished . We have also been hosts so that has given us insight into that situation .
