Alison was a great sitter and extremely tidy; I can hardly tell that she's been here! After his initial barking when they arrived, Marley was immediately

Alison and her daughter, Iona, were great pet/house sitters. The house was spotless on our return and the animals seemed happy and relaxed. Alison’s

Alison looked after Beth’s pets & home

Alison recently looked after our cat Sheldon. He was really well looked after & I received lots of messages & photos which was really reassuring. He’s a very nervous cat & wary of strangers, but he spent as much of the time in house as when we were here. Great indication he was very happy. When we came back our house was immaculate & all the laundry had been done. How fantastic. I’d jump at the chance for Alison to stay again. Highly recommended & so good to know your pets & home are in safe & capable hands

About

I am experienced with most domestic pets including horses. I currently have 2 rescued dogs and 2 ponies. I used to breed and show cats and have previously worked as as Wolf Keeper and Veterinary Nurse. I should like to do pet/house sitting

Why I want to house sit

I am well travelled and have done lots of house swapping here in the UK and abroad. I love being able to visit places that are not touristy as you get a better feel for the community and how locals experience the area that they live.
