Als Paar/Duo
We are an active, retired, married couple . We enjoy travelling and have had various pets over the years. We now live with our daughter, who has a dog which we look after when she is away. We love walking in the countryside and on the coast and are lucky to live close to both.
My husband ran his own business for over 40 years and I looked after the office side of things until our children were grown and I went back to college to retrain in fashion and textiles and ended my career working in a theatrical costume house. Our son took over the business, when my husband retired and is still trading successfully.
Since retiring we have been house and pet sitting both in the UK and France and have made many new friends who we now house sit for when required. We can provide references, if required. We enjoy house sitting as it means we can experience living in different locations and cultures, with the added pleasure of looking after the animals and meeting new people.
I speak a little French and continue to learn.
Colin enjoys cooking and I continue to design and sew various projects. We both enjoy gardening and producing our own fruit and vegetables. We enjoy looking around local markets and experiencing different foods, by cooking at home , in local restaurants and fine dining.
I practice yoga and attend classes every week.
We have both been fully vaccinated against Covid 19 and are fit and healthy.

Gillingham, United Kingdom - Juli 2021
We were very happy that Janet and Colin could come to our rescue when another sitter let us down at the last minute. We had atrocious weather but they were always happy and cheerful to walk the dogs. We were happy to leave our house and animals in their care.
Norwich, United Kingdom - Juni 2021
Janet and Colin looked after our cat and house for three weeks and were wonderful house sitters! Our cat was very well cared for, so were the house (spotless!) and the garden. We loved meeting them and would have them over again anytime.
