Ian & Ingrid (Respectful & efficient couple)

About this sitter

We are a responsible, friendly couple (or one of us if preferred) who treat peoples Pets and Homes with care and respect.

We have had successful careers in project and property management and now retired whilst running a modest property portfolio remotely.

We take our responsibilities seriously and, as well as our considerable life experience, have recently completed an Animal Welfare diploma course as well as an advanced Pet First Aid course.

We’re best suited to well-kept, comfortable homes where clear information is provided about the pets’ routines and needs. If homeowners aren’t sure what to include, we’re happy to help them pull that together before the sit starts to ensure a smooth pet and home sit for all.

Why they want to house sit

Now that we’re retired, we finally have the time to travel a little and enjoy a slower pace of life. We both love animals, so pet sitting is a perfect fit – we get to spend time with lovely pets and help people feel at ease while they’re away.

Their experience

We’ve been pet sitting for around five years in various countries as well as our own and for friends and family. Many of our sits have been repeat invitations, and we’ve always received positive feedback from homeowners who value our reliability, attention to detail and the care we give their pets and homes.

What can they bring to the assignment

We bring a depth of life experience and a calm, dependable approach to every assignment. We’re practical, respectful and confident handling whatever comes up, from everyday routines to any occasional unexpected hiccup.

Homeowners tell us they feel reassured knowing we’re reliable, capable and always keep things running smoothly.
