Lynn w.

We are an active professional couple in our 50’s who have retired early to travel the world & live life to the full. Before we retired I was a management accountant & my partner Chris was a Design Engineer. Our interests include Kayaking, Cycling, Walking & Photography to name a few along with DIY & Gardening. We also love nature & animals & have owned several dogs, cats & other animals over the years. All we are looking for in a house sit is a base where we can get out & discover the area whilst helping the owner out by looking after their home, pets & animals, & keeping the garden in order.
We have been looking after peoples homes, pets and other animals now for over 7 years and have loved every minute of it. Our house sits have ranged from looking after a smallholdiing with alpaca's, rare breed goats, sheep, chickens and dogs, to just a single cat. The properties we have maintained have ranged from 7 bedroom villas in France with pools and landscaped gardens to 2 bedroom bungalows in Sussex where once Chris finished off installing & tiling a bathroom that the owners had been renovating.
Over the years we have owned a number of houses that we have renovated including our holiday home in France, this has given us a lot of experience in DIY & problem solving when things go wrong. We are experienced gardeners & have no trouble keeping gardens in order, grass cutting, pruning, weeding etc. We are very practical and "Hands on" so can deal with most eventualities.

We have spent a lot of time abroad, travelling around South Africa, Asia and Europe. We also spent a year living in Australia and then 8 months travelling around it aswell as New Zealand in a campervan so are used to different climates and like to immerse ourselves in other cultures.
We have a lot of experience in looking after & caring for dogs cats & other animals having owned several ourselves over the years as well as looking after other peoples.
We also have experience of having our own house looked after by house sitters so understand what is like to go away & entrust your home to someone else.
We are honest & very respectful of other people’s houses & property and privacy.

Lastly but by no means the least is that we absolutely love animals so if we have to look after yours you can be assured they will be in very good hands & probably spoiled rotten.
