Couple with Cute Maltipoo available for house sitting anywhere in the United Kingdom

About this sitter

We are a fun loving and nomadic couple looking to explore as much of the UK as we can with our little doggie Charlie. Charmaine works remotely and Matt is a writer, therefore we can work anywhere that has decent 4G or5G. We have a router with a SIM that allows us to bring our WIFI with us, so as long as there is a tower, WIFI at the property isn't required. We've been married for 14 1/2 years, living for the first part of our marriage in Seattle (where Charmaine is from) and now living in the UK (where Matt is from). We love and appreciate both rural and city locations, although we tend to enjoy the quiet locales that offer nice walks, bird watching, and collecting sea glass. Neither of us drink or smoke and like to keep a very tidy and clean home. In a previous lives, Charmaine cleaned houses and was also a chef in a restaurant so the cleanliness practice is firmly ingrained! We are both avid readers and writers and spend our time writing poetry and short stories, with a dream of being published one day. Charmaine is also a yoga teacher, Reiki Master, and crystal healer, although her current profession is in finance :)
Coming back to the UK, we were living in Cambridge however, a serious issue with the sewage in the property we were renting saw us see out our summer in our chalet in Norfolk. The site closes from Nov-March so we decided to rent an Air BnB on the Isle of Bute for the winter. We have fallen in love with Scotland and have no desire to leave, so a house or property we could be stewards for over the Spring and Summer (and possibly beyond) would be ideal.

Why they want to house sit

Once we left Cambridge, our dream was to remain at our chalet in Norfolk and save money to buy a Narrowboat and go back to Cambridge to "travel the river".
Since we've been on Bute, we've realized we're not done traveling and want to see more of Scotland, and beyond. We've put all of our belongings in storage and asked ourselves "Why NOT!"
Seeing different parts of the world and meeting new people has been an amazing experience so far, and is the making of a great adventure!

Their experience

Throughout our lives, we've always been the friends who house and dogsit for people.
Because we're so clean and quiet and keep to ourselves, people always ask us back.
The gentleman who owns the Air BnB we're staying in has thanked us for keeping his flat in such clean and well kept condition. We're very house proud and feel that an uncluttered and clean area leads to a quiet and uncluttered mind :)
We don't have any references yet as we're just starting out, but can be made available upon request as we build our history here.
Because of Charmaine's varied working history cleaning houses, running a restaurant, landscaping, construction/carpentry, being a barista, and working in a butcher shop, she is able to translate those experiences into many different areas of assignment. She also grew up living on a sailboat and knows how to tie many kinds of knots ;)

What can they bring to the assignment

As noted above, we are a very clean and tidy couple. The things we enjoy in life are beautiful walks in nature, yoga, good food, meditation, reading, writing, and crafting. We are very friendly and endeavor to bring love and good vibes into any space we occupy. We have respect for other people and their property and treat it like our own. We don't drink or smoke and appreciate natural idylls of stillness to quiet our minds.
We are very responsible, mindful of neighbors, and love the simplest things in life. As long as we have each other, we don't need a lot. As we've gotten older, we just love the simple pleasures.
