Animal Loving Mother and Daughter Duo

More information about this house sitter

Hi there! Nice to meet you!

We are Sally (49) and Allie (28): a British mother and daughter duo and a pair of crazy cat ladies. (Non smokers)

* Available from the 11th of February 2024

- Our Experience with Animals

We absolutely LOVE animals and have spent 18 wonderful years as servants to a demanding black, fluffy ragdoll cat with social anxiety issues.

Both of us have been brought up looking after cats and small dogs. Allie has even broadened her horizons to horses - learning to ride at University and teaching horsemanship in America.

For the last few years, we have found ourselves without any pets. To fill the void, we’ve sat for friends and family and befriended every street dog and cat in SouthEast Asia (it seems!).

Safe to say, we are missing some quality time with the loveable critters!

*Fun Facts about us

- We love the outdoors and nature so you can guarantee your doggos will have as many walkies as their little hearts desire.

- We are best friends, we have worked together in the Scottish Highlands and have traveled across Europe and Southeast Asia.

- On a trip in Berlin, we chose an apartment solely because it included looking after two cats. The ‘antisocial’ ginger cat Otto became Allie’s shadow for the week.

* Allie (28) is a marketing graduate with a passion for travel, vegetarian food and obviously animals! Her main ambition is to set up a travel blog and work as a freelance copywriter so she can continue exploring the globe. You’ll find her in a comfy chair with a laptop, and ideally a cute doggo or cat to keep her company.

* Sally (49) is an online English teacher. She’s a certified clean freak so your house is in good hands! She has a passion for travel and learning about new cultures. Her idea of a good time is curling up on the sofa with a good book or a gripping tv show and of course, a furry creature.

* What you can expect from us

- Updates as and when you need them! We can appreciate that going away and leaving your much loved animals is sometimes a nerve-wracking, worrying experience that we know all too well.

- We are house proud and respectful - we would treat your home as we would our own. Ensuring it’s kept clean, tidy and maintained.

- As we work online, we can fit in around your pet’s needs and routines. Providing as much time, love and affection as your furry creature desires.

- We have experience looking after senior animals so can administer medicine and special care as needed (obviously with your guidance).

- Our own cat Tabitha was a rescue with social anxiety so we can provide patience and understanding to a timid pet. Letting them interact with us on their own terms.

* What we expect from you

- An initial chat to find out about each other and manage any expectations before we agree to anything. We want to make sure we’re right for you and vice versa! Especially where animals are involved.

- Clear guidance and information on your pet’s personality, routines and how to look after them. As well as how to look after your house.

- A stable internet connection so we can work online during the house sit.

- A safe, comfortable space for us to live whilst staying in your home. We don’t want to feel like strangers but we respect boundaries (knowing where we can go and what we can use).

* If you’re interested in us house/pet sitting for you - don’t hesitate to get in contact and ask us any questions. We look forward to meeting your loveable animals soon! :D Read more...
