Katie and Matt

More information about this house sitter

Hi there. We are Matt and Katie. We have been happily married for 35 years. We have 5 grown kids and 4 cute grandkids. We have owned and bred Cockaliers and loved on/owned Border Collies, Beagles and also a wonderful Moodle named Napoleon. We have also had 3 Ginger cats whom we adored. Our small farm life includes 60 chickens, ducks and 2 goats thus far.

We are honest people that love animals and value and respect others and are non-smokers.
Matt is a wood machinist by trade with a working background in fine furniture, trailers and caravans. Katie's career has been in social work/child protection.

Update since Nov 2025, we have been living in Uganda part time working in skills training and with single mothers and children. While we have been here, we have rescued 13 pups and found good homes for them.

For fun, we usually go to the beach or for a drive in the country. We love our adults sized scooters, cafes and markets. I, Katie love sewing and crafting, reading and music... Matt loves to ride his trail bike, skateboarding and hanging with his boys playing pool etc.
That is enough about us.
As we would be in your castle, we are happy to give you references and our resume's. I, Katie also have a blue card and a current Police check. Happy to get one for Matt also if you would be more comfortable with that!
Thanks for reading about us! Please feel free to ask any questions. Read more...
