About this sitter
are a married couple, Séan and Taffy and we have had an off grid farm in Southern Spain for 19 years.
We have sold now and are enjoying more time for ourselves as well as travelling.
Séan is a retired engineer who has turned his hand to all jobs on the farm.
Taffy worked all her life with horses and on farms and now is happy to ride around the Spanish countryside.
We don’t mind living on Solar we need good internet a comfortable home with good access.
We have completed 3 house sits since September ‘23, and are on our 4th one due to finish end of April.

Why they want to house sit
We have been fortunate to have had the most wonderful sitters from all over the world and have made so many friends through this site that we would like to try it for ourselves.
ADVENTURE BEFORE DEMENTIA!
We do have two wonderful Labradors who are well trained sociable, not sofa-surfers and used to cats in their home.
We spend summers in the UK where we have a house, but are looking for opportunities roughly September-May. We have our own car.
We would like longer sits but are happy to consider anything
Their experience
Séan is a hands on problem solver and a wise head.
Taffy is an experienced horse owner who loves tractor driving and general animal lover. Taffy is also a keen walker who loves exploring.
Lifelong dog and cat owners and experienced with farm animals, (Taffy is an experienced hand milker of cows!)
What can they bring to the assignment
Experience, diligence.
We are also communicators and with the ease of WhatsApp/Internet are happy to ask questions and keep in touch.
We treat animals and homes like our own.

Testimonials
Patricia Turner
We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Taffy and Shaun as housesitters. We felt completely at ease leaving our dog, house and garden in their capable hands. A really lovely couple who are thoroughly dependable in every way.

With Gratitude
Having Taffy and Sean holding the reins while we were away was such a relief. Their knowledge of life in the off grid campo is extensive with Sean being Mr Electric and Plumber! They are very conscientious and good communicators.
