Growing up with summer holidays on my aunt and uncles farm in Scotland taught me how to care for animals My first job as a toddler was to feed the chickens and collect the eggs I used to go up on trailer to feed sheep and cattle, and play with the farm dogs Growing up I always had dogs and wanted that for my children as well But at our busiest we had 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, 2 budgies and 2 gerbils. Living in Switzerland at the time we had many international friends who used to travel and we would regularly take it in turns to house sit for each other I am calm and caring with nervous pets and not phased by walking having completed many long distance paths like Hadrian's walk and Offas dyke - so pets that need a good exercise is a joy Over a period of a year I have been able to do 16 house sits - see photos and 5 star feedback On other well known house and pet sitting site Due to location driveway at property also available for car storage during holidays leaving from Exeter Airport and drop off and collection could be organised for fee
