About this sitter

I have 14 years of housesitting experience. I have extensive experience of various domestic pets, farm animals,birds and reptiles. Especially as my father is from a farming family.
i have completed doing end of life animal sits in New Zealand last year while visiting family and friends.
I am happy to look after various animals, reptiles or birds.
I am DBS checked, with a Veterinary Assistant's Support Certificate. I also have a Dog Trainer Diploma. I am insured and I have very good references.

Why they want to house sit

I am happy to housesit. I no longer have animals of my own, since it was impractical once I started house sitting.
My dogs lived to great ages of 15,16 and 17.
I also enjoy visiting different locations.

Their experience

I have 14 years of experience as a house sitter with extensive experience.
Included in that time, I have 8 years experience of house and pet sitting in New Zealand for
friends who foster for the SPCA in NZ.
I have formerly bred, worked and shown Border Terriers at championship level and achieved a qualification to Crufts. I also rescued dogs. My very first dog was a rescue dog. My dog before I started housesitting was a rescue dog. I started dog walking for neighbours at the age of 10.
I have also owned
various domestic pets, including rabbits, hamsters, budgies, zebra finches, tortoises and fish. As a child, I had a menagerie.
