Experienced Animal-Loving Family & Chelsea Award-Winning Gardener

About this sitter

Hello! We are a trustworthy, animal-loving family of four looking for opportunities to care for pets and homes while exploring new places together. We pride ourselves on being respectful, reliable and caring people who would treat your home exactly as we would our own.
We have two young children, our son Roman is a kind, energetic soon to be 4-year-old who loves the outdoors and animals. Our daughter Betty will be 18 months old in November and is already proving to be a little animal lover too. Our children are gentle around pets and are used to being taught to respect animals and other people’s homes.
We are mainly looking for family-friendly house sits where we can enjoy caring for animals, experiencing new areas and helping homeowners travel with complete peace of mind. Whether your pets need long walks, cuddles, company or simply calm and reliable care, we would love to help.

Why they want to house sit

We are currently taking a year to travel, slow down and enjoy life together as a family before deciding where we would ultimately like to settle down. House sitting feels like the perfect way for us to experience new places in a meaningful way while providing homeowners with genuine peace of mind that their pets and home are being lovingly cared for.

Their experience

Between us, we have many years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Our personal pets over the years have included dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats and fish, so we are very comfortable with different personalities, routines and care needs. In addition, I previously volunteered at Stonebridge City Farm in Nottingham, where I gained experience caring for farm animals including sheep, chickens, cows, ponies, ducks, pigs and goats. We are confident, calm and attentive animal carers who genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds.

What can they bring to the assignment

As a family, we are clean, respectful, trustworthy and very house-proud. We understand that inviting someone into your home is a big decision, so we like to provide complete peace of mind through excellent communication, reliability and genuine care. We would treat your pets with love and attention, and your home with the same respect we would hope for ourselves.
My husband, Ian, is a garden designer and professional gardener who has won multiple awards including Gold and Silver Gilt medals at the Chelsea Flower Show. Gardens are not just safe with him — they will be lovingly cared for and appreciated by someone who truly understands them. Whether it’s watering delicate plants, maintaining outdoor spaces or simply keeping everything thriving while you’re away, your garden will also be left in expert hands!
