About: I have been house-sitting full-time on Trusted House Sitters (with my partner Asha) since the beginning of this year with all 5-star reviews. Plus, I have looked after all sorts of dogs and cats through friends and family since a young teen! We are freelance musicians who work from home, apart from the occasional gig! We living by house sitting so we have found a way to make this our job! I am a patient and caring animal carer! I enjoy long walks with my dogs and couch cuddles with my cats. I am experienced in elaborate feeding routines and handling medication, and am confident in handling and walking. What your pet needs is the number one priority, so however they need to be cared for, that is how it will be done!
About: I have had cats since a young age and have looked after friend’s cats for the past 5/6 years! I also have a dog called Bear so have a lot of knowledge about dogs! Currently am working part time at a local cafe and part time from home! So can mean I can look after your pets on my days off! I have weekend and evening flexibility I have a fenced garden and also a very friendly dog to keep your dogs company if that’s the service you’d like! I am reliability and trustworthy
About: I have a Collie and a Goldendoodle. I also had three cats and a senior Goldendoodle with arthritis. I have missed being with animals too much so here I am. I have 18 years experience working with animals and owned and ran a doggy day care and dog walking business for 7 years before selling up to relocate here. I am very fortunate that working with animals is my profession. That allows me to be very flexible and I can accommodate most requests with enough notice. I have a safe enclosed garden and the village I live in has a dedicated dog exercise field. I also live within 10 minutes of gorgeous beaches and forest walks.
About: From looking after multiple dogs, house sitting and using rover to find my doggo Lennie a place to stay when I go away - Rover is brilliant! I have always had dogs, and trained Lennie along with some of his doggo friends. I would love to be able to care for more doggos! I have had multiple dogs stay before and had a great time. I currently have flexibility, whether that’s needing a house dog sitter or walks Monday - Sunday. Lennie can join for walks or I can walk your dog separately. Lennie also doesn’t have to come for overnight stays if preferred no other dog to be there. I am good at noticing dogs behaviours, and having Lennie the place is set up for dogs! All food far away from access, tons of water bowls and fenced garden. Lennie is very good with other dogs in the house, and if I noticed a doggo feeling anxious or unwell I would straight away notify and make sure they are as comfortable as they can be.
