We have had cats and dogs of our own. We regularly look after friends dogs back at home when needed. While travelling in Greece we volunteered at a donkey and dog sanctuary. Looking after the donkeys and the dogs was very rewarding and

Can’t recommend Catherine and Clare highly enough. They went above and beyond for us and they had a very busy pre-Christmas week including a large frozen dog

Catherine and Clare are a lovely couple who took great care of Cosmo and Buster while we were abroad for a week. Catherine was the main point of contact and

Cath and Clare have looked after our 6 yr old Labrador Jake for many years. As soon as he sees them he wags his tail ferociously and loves the affection he gets from them both. He adores going on walks and overnight stays with them, so much so when I go to pick him up I’m convinced he’s a little bit sad to be leaving them! They are highly reliable and trustworthy individuals and have always taken great care of Jake and treat him like one of their family. I would not hesitate to recommend them both for house / pet sitting. Regards Natalie Favell

Why we want to house sit

House sitting gives us the opportunity to explore new areas and we love to just get out and walk even if it's raining! Having previously had pets of our own, we love cats and dogs and there is nothing better than a cuddle or a belly rub
