Annette and Wayne are excellent in every way; taking wonderful care of our pets, house and garden, as if it was their own. I can't recommend them highly

Annette and Wayne are THE BEST! They take such good care of our house and our pets- and even the stray that we have started to feed! Nothing is too much

06/01/2022 To whom it may concern, I am fully confident in recommending Annette and Wayne as a house and pet sitters. Annette and Wayne have been watching my home and pets (Dog Tintin and Cat Gizmo) during several vacations and other absences for the past ten years, and everything has always gone smoothly. I have no reservations about entrusting Annette and Wayne with the keys to my house. Additionally, my property has never been damaged under their care and I have had no complaints from anyone in the neighbourhood. Annette and Wayne do not blink at any of my special requests and have skilfully dealt with issues that have come up while housesitting, such as a clogged sink and a minor security issue. The house is always tidy upon my return, and the mail is neatly stacked for my perusal. I get peace of mind knowing that Annette and Wayne even go above and beyond by making up a welcome home pack. I would not trust anyone but Annette and Wayne with my house and pets. Wayne even makes sure the pond fish are fed and Gizmo our cat is petted. Sometimes I think Gizmo likes Wayne more than me! Sincerely, Gary Abnett

About

In 2018 we decided it was time to start making plans for our next phase - retirement, while we are still healthy and fit (Both non-smokers and active walkers) Therefore, we decided to retire together to Portugal to enable us to travel

Why we want to house sit

We love to travel to new areas and meet new people. It has always been a dream of ours to have some pets when retired. We both had dogs and guinea pigs when we were growing up. I also had many other animals, fish, hamsters, budgies
