Trustworthy mature animal loving couple

More information about this house sitter

We are a retired pet loving couple from Australia (teachers and government workers in a previous life) returning 1st October 2023 from an extended holiday experience living and pet sitting in Europe and the UK. Our availability is after this date… 1st October…and note at this stage we are looking at cat sits only. We were home owners for 35 plus years…but recently sold it before we headed off on our travels. We have extensive garden and home maintenance experience and have enjoyed a range of pets and wildlife in our home over the years.

We have been part of a hosting organisation for many years where we host overseas guests in our home and have been guests in overseas homes and so know about trust, responsibility and integrity when it comes to having people in someone else's home.

We have been pet sitting since 2015 and have enjoyed more then twenty delightful house and cat/dog/hamster sits in England, Ireland (North and South), Switzerland, Wales, France and Cyprus and received a five star rating for each.

We are homebodies who enjoy the chance to pet sit and once we return to Australia in October we are keen to keep enjoying the company of pets as we travel the country.

PPS Here is a copy of some of our recent reviews for your reference:

Roger and Cozette moved into our bungalow the night before we left on a 2 week holiday and we enjoyed dinner and an evening with them which also gave us chance to discuss the Cats, Molly and Bailey, as well as the delights of South Oxfordshire ! We were very happy to leave our home and pets in their care and on our return it did not look as if anyone had actually been here in our absence - our home was clean, organised and all was good. The cats were obviously great company for R+C and visa versa as we received pics of 2 happy cats quite often while we were away. Molly is on daily meds for her arthritis and there was no problem with R+C giving her the meds. Our neighbours enjoyed bumping into them on a few occasions which is also nice to know that both housesitters had support ICE and we knew our home was in safe hands. We would welcome Roger and Cozette back to No 23 anytime and highly recommend them for any responsible position. The cat collages created by Roger are beautiful and currently sitting in our windows for passers by to admire ! Thank you !

So pleased that Cozette and Roger stayed in my home to look after my two cats. In our call before they came they were considerate to the needs of the cats and in person they were good humoured and patient. Each day I was away we exchanged pictures and update of the cats and recommendations of how to spend time in Sheffield. They did a great job, and it really enabled me to enjoy my first big holiday since sharing my home with Umi and Amayah.

Roger and Cozette were very warm, friendly and great housesitters. They looked after my Ragdoll cat, Margot, for seven weeks and listened carefully to my instructions. They regularly sent me photos and updates and even made a beautiful collage replica of Margot! I would recommend them as your house and pet sitter if you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy couple. Thanks again!

Roger and Cozette were kind enough to look after our home and our cat Oliver for two weeks. They are a friendly laid back couple who are excellent communicators. They sent us frequent updates and photos of Oliver and we came home to a beautifully clean house and a VERY happy ginger fur baby who yowled for their return periodically for a week. We give them our highest recommendation.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that Roger and Cozette were the dream house-sitters - quick/almost instant at responding to all our Whatsapp messages before their visit; capable, kind, thoughtful and reassuring throughout our trip - we felt so relieved and fortunate to know that they would be looking after our home and our beloved cat while we were on our honeymoon, and we unhesitatingly recommend them if you're looking for someone to trust while you're away.
