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.

Janet and Colin have been perfect house sitters. They are friendly, easy going and took great care of our cat Mia. They were extremely flexible and accommodating. We returned to a spotless house and a very happy pet. I strongly recommend Janet and Colin to anyone looking for a reliable house sitter.

We would like to thank our dog sitters Janet & Colin for looking after our dog Malone,for keeping us updated with his wellbeing and also for leaving the house clean & tidy.
Tarnac, France - September 2021
Malheureusement nous avons dû rentrer 4 jours après notre départ suite à un accident de voiture, écourtant ainsi, bien malgré nous, le séjour de Janet et Colin. Cependant ils ont accepter cette contrainte avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Janet et Colin sont des personnes très sympathiques, établissant très rapidement un excellent contact avec les chiens. Nous espérons avoir l'occasion de les recevoir à la maison lors d'un autre séjour, dans de meilleures circonstances.

Janet et Colin se sont très bien occupés de Perle. Et j’espère qu'ils ont passé un très bon séjour.
