Dog loving retired couple

More information about this house sitter

We are a dog loving couple from the south coast of England.
We would love the opportunity to house sit and look after your fur baby.
We are active and healthy. We love walking and keeping fit. We live right by the sea and are often out in our kayaks on the water or riding our bikes over the Sussex Downs. We are both non smokers and very respectful of people and their property.
We have always had dogs until we lost our precious boy a few years ago. He had lots of complex health issues so we are used to administering medication.
We often visit Dee Why where our son and family lives.
We usually rent an AirBnb and spend our time relaxing around the house, enjoying the sunshine, walking and cooking. We always treat the places we stay with utmost respect and leave them as we found them. We like to treat the home as if it was our own. We have many reviews on our Airbnb profile and Trusted Housesitters.

We know how important it is to choose the right people to look after your precious dogs and we would love to help in the future.

We have sat for a lovely Collie called Yumi in Cromer Heights through Mindahome a few years back.

I was a Finance Director and my husband a Health and Safety Compliance manager.
Now we are both retired we are hoping to travel more to our favourite place in Sydney with the extra fun of a dog buddy.

A couple of recent reviews:

To whom it may concern:

I have worked with Julie for the last 10 years and can vouch for her character and reliability. Alfie was a loving member of her family who sadly passed away too young. Soon after, I became the mum to 'Woody the Cavapoo' and Julie was there to look after him during the day or for weekends/holidays. Not once did I worry about him being with Julie or have any hesitations. Julie is 100% loving and caring towards all dogs (and humans too!), planning her day around them to ensure they are safe, have walks, rest, comfort and playful times at home. When Woody comes to work now, he wags his tail, bounds up the stairs and makes a bee-line for Julie, where she greets him with enthusiasm and the odd treat or two! I have no hesitation in recommending Julie to house-sit and/or care for any pets, you'd be very lucky to have found her!

Kind regards

To whom it may concern

I have known Gary and Julie for about 10 years, Julie as a work colleague and then both as friends and I would not hesitate to recommend them as house and pet sitters.

Gary and Julie have looked after my Labrador Orwell on numerous occasions over the last five years. They look after him like he is their own and he loves being with them! They are trustworthy, reliable and kind, I know that Orwell is very well looked after when he is with them. They are clearly dog lovers and I feel very comfortable that all Orwell's needs are met when he is with them.

I would be very happy to answer any specific questions or give further information if needed.
