Retired British Animal Lovers (Nov-March

More information about this house sitter

Hi,
We are Linda and Brian a retired nurse and teacher who live in the UK we love to travel and meet new people. We are fit, active, reliable, resourceful and able to do gardening and diy. We enjoy travelling and meeting new people. We have spent many months cruising with our boat mainly in Italy and Greece since our retirement. We have recently sold our boat so now have more time to devote to house sitting and travel.
We have recently returned from a fantastic 3 month trip to Australia ,we completed 4 house/pet sits during our time there (3 from another site, can give link to see these refs) and visited many beautiful and interesting areas, we enjoyed our experience so much we are planning a return trip this year .
We are home owners, practrical. clean, non smokers and will maintain regular contact and updates with hosts. We both drive and have full clean licences. If invited to sit we would make a commitment for the full term. We love cats and before retirement we always had 2 cat pets the last ones with us 14 years and we do miss a stroke and a cuddle.
We have sat for friends and family and we look after our daughters cats and house when they go on holiday. We have completed house /pet sits in Uk and Europe using another site (refs available from those sits if required ) We have experience looking after multiple cat households.
We have refs for the recent sits we completed in Australia.
We live in rural North Yorkshire UK and have a large garden where we enjoy growing our own vegetables. Our daughter and 2 grandchildren live an hours drive from us. As an ex nurse I am confident in giving medication to pets.
we plan to travel to Australia for 3 -4months (dates not yet confirmed), but probablyNov, Dec, Jan and Feb. If anyone is looking to travel to the uk we would also be willing to house swap.
We both have police checks.
We do not charge for sitting. Read more...
