11 years worldwide experience in house/pet sitting

Pet care experience

Hello, we are Jane and Lee. While travelling the world we completed house sits around Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Dubai, France, Switzerland, Spain and England. Now we are back home we have been pet sitting in our local area. We love animals, so having the opportunity to see the world while having the company of a loving animal is a dream come true. We are slowly building up our portfolio and references so if you take a chance on us we will be sure you won't regret it. We have no ties, and are not on a time schedule so very flexible with dates. Our experience We are non smoking, polite couple who take care of the things around us. We love to clean and have things looking tidy and smelling nice. We have been trusted to use previous house sitters cars so I feel we are very responsible and trustworthy. Qualifications with Distinction: * Animal Healing and Technique * Dog Medication * Animal Care Level 3 * Dog Grooming * Canine Behaviour Course Level 4 * Feline Behaviour and Psychology Diploma * Exotic Animal Care * Pet First Aid and CPR Level 3 The daily routine we offer for your animals will be the same as what it receives from the owner. If there is anything specific the animal or owner requires we are happy to accommodate this.

Jane and Lee looked after my greyhound Poppy for the weekend. It's the first time I've ever had to leave her with anyone overnight so I was a really anxious dog Mam! From the very moment I met Jane and Lee I felt confident that Poppy would be in safe hands. I received lovely updates and pics of her which put my mind at ease straight away. They are very professional, clearly understand dogs really well and I would recommend them to anyone. We also came back to an immaculate house! Thank you so much I will definitely be booking you both again in the future ☺️ it's lovely being able to go away and relax knowing your pet is in safe hands

Jane and Lee are very professional and looked after our 11 month Weimaraner while we were on holiday for 12 nights. We got regular updates and as he was a puppy they adopted some new training tips, and his jumping has definitely decreased. They left our house in immaculate condition and really looked after our puppy. I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Thanks to them both.

We’ve just spent a week in Pollença and asked Jane and Lee to look after Coby, our black lab, and Minnie, our tabby cat, whilst we were away. We genuinely couldn’t be any happier with the service they provided - we’d recommend them without reservation. They did far more than was asked of them in terms of pet care and in terms of leaving the house absolutely spotless for us. It’s a full time job for them and it shows - we’ll certainly be asking them to look after our pets again.

Jane and Lee looked after our GSP for nearly a week, and we can highly recommend them! They looked after both Ruby and our home beautifully. Thank you both so much we will definitely be in touch for our next holiday

Information Jane B. would like to know about your pet

We have both had dogs our whole lives so confident with puppies and elderly dogs, so medication is not a problem. We have looked after 1 dog to 5 dogs at a time and with very energetic dogs like huskies.

A typical day

Our sits are definitely tailored around the pets we look after, dogs are walked multiple time and played with constantly throughout the day and cuddled at night. We have on many occasions been told the dogs have gone to the room we stayed in looking for us after the sit. Also even had dogs that stayed by our side even when the owners came home which we think shows they had fun and feel comfortable with us. We don't leave the pets for very long, 3 hours is usually the most.

We try to keep the animals weekly routine similar to what the owner would do. We are flexible in our day so would spend most of it with the animals. Pet care is full time for us so we have no other commitments.
