Kirstie and Ian were really wonderful house sitters. They gave my little westie Toby the best time, and I came home to a very happy and content dog. They

Absolutely fantastic sitters! They were super thoughtful, and really lovely people. Would happily have Ian and Kirsty round to sit again. All the best guys

What a super couple to have here to pet-sit. At the last minute Ian and Kirsty had to cope with a change of plan for us, as my husband needed hospital tests

Kirsty and Ian are the perfect people to look after your house and pets. They have taken care of my beloved old collie cross Busby many many times. He needs to be carried up and down stairs these days and has complex medical needs and they do it all with love. They've also stayed in my house many times and looked after my cats as well. They are punctual, reliable, honest, tidy, kind and also very good fun. You couldn't wish for lovelier people to come into your home and take care of it while you're away. I don't hesitate to recommend them as house and pet sitters - and feel very lucky to have had them in my life as such decent and caring people.

Why we want to house sit

Simply, we want to see more places, meet more people, have more adventures, and befriend more animals. We pride ourselves on being neat, tidy, conscientious, and respectful of other people's homes, treating them as we would want our home
