About this sitter

I am a pensioner who is fortunate enough to still be active enough to enjoy walks in the countryside and cycling at leisure when ever the weather allows. My partner, who has been on many sittings with me has been very unfortunate to have suffered a severe stroke which has left her struggling to walk and without speech,.

Why they want to house sit

The last two years has been traumatic for both myself and Patricia but with Patricia's resolve and my support everyday since, we feel that she is strong enough for me to spend some time house sitting, even as a form of respite Were there to be a sitting that provided easy flat wheelchair access to the property (we carry rubber ramps to overcome outer door frames) we would gladly accept.

Their experience

Myself and Patricia have been fortunate enough to cover sittings in places such as Edinbugh, Sligo, Tipperary, Belfast, Liverpool, Chepstow, Cornwall, Toulouse, Germany, Austria, Vienna, Yes it can get tough sometimes but the rewards outweigh any setbacks.

What can they bring to the assignment

Having covered quite a few sittings I feel I have covered all of the owners needs and my experience has given them the peace of mind they desire, so they can take that break they have been looking forward to..

Great house sitters

Jeff and Pat are a friendly, trustworthy couple who took good care of the dogs and house and were great with communication before and during! I’d recommend them for house sits!

Perfect guests and dog sitter!

Jeff and Pat were the perfect people to have come and stay at quite short notice to look after our dog, Zeph. It was our first experience of MindMyHouse and Jeff & Pat were great at guiding us through it all. The house was spotless when we returned (thank you for the flowers!) and more importantly Zeph was happy and well. Highly recommend these lovely sitters.

Oz the Labrador

Jeff did a grand job of looking after my Oz and home while I was gone. He was extremely trustworthy and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great housesitter!
