We're Debbie and Dave, we've 50+ FIVE STAR reviews on another pet sitting platform (ask for the link), but we're new to Rover (joined November 2025). We're TRUE ANIMAL LOVERS, caring cat cuddlers, and devoted dog sitters. We've even cared for chickens, ducks, a hamster, and a pig. We're fully insured and are non-smokers. 100% of our FIVE STAR reviews have come from real pet parents who've trusted us to care for their pets in their own homes, while they enjoyed a well-earned break. Now for the fun bit: WE ADORE FURRY SNUGGLES! We're so happy to have shared our "official" pet/house sitting journey with 80+ furry friends PLUS a colony of 12 outdoor cats, and 22 feathery friends, and we're delighted (OVER THE MOON!) when we're asked back for return sits. We sit as a couple, which means double the cat cuddles, attention, and love for the price of one, especially helpful for multiple pets. We've had many loved pets ourselves over the years. Between us our own pets in the past have included cats, dogs, rabbits, gerbils, fish, a duck, and a parrot, but none nowadays. So how did our pet sitting life begin?... We used to take care of our son’s pets as he worked away a lot, until he moved to Spain. He's now settled with family in Spain, and that's when our thoughts of pet sitting began, with having a void in our lives with our son (and his pets) gone, and being unable to have pets with travelling to visit them for extended periods. We LOVE pet sitting, but what began as a way to top up our hearts with furry snuggles, fast became an amazing full-time way of life, filled with fun and furry characters. In 2023, we turned our own home into a holiday cottage while we spent time with fun and furry new friends. On the house-sitting side of things, we've plenty of experience, from owning our own home, owning rental properties, and carrying out refurbishments on our various properties too. Also, I (Debbie) used to own a cleaning business that employed 12 staff until I sold it many years ago. Therefore, we are used to caring for properties, and have a common-sense approach, should anything unknown happen, like frozen pipes or power cuts. We live a quiet life, we're polite and friendly with neighbours, we're well-behaved, and house trained! Please feel free to ask any questions. We're very friendly and more than happy to answer anything. Some cats just don't settle very well in a cattery or other people's homes. Perhaps you feel like you've asked too many favours over the years from family and friends. If so, we'd love to help. PS If you haven't had anyone stay in your home to look after your pets before, you'll find us very easy to chat with.
