About this sitter

We are a solvent, reliable, practical, professional British married couple who are well travelled and enjoy exploring new places. We pride ourselves on our warm, calm and engaging relationship with animals.

Amanda is a highly regarded ex UK NHS Consultant Psychologist/Executive Director who now works in her own web-based consultancy business and she is also MD of a construction company.

Ivan is a builder/carpenter/musician who speaks fluent Spanish and reasonable French and Italian. He can build or fix almost anything.

We have lifelong experience of connecting with and caring for animals and also maintaining properties and gardens.

We are into healthy living and are both vegetarian (although totally happy to feed pets their meat-based food) and non smokers.

We enjoy the outdoors, nature, culture, and enjoy both the countryside and cities, good food, music, singing, architecture, ancient sites, theatre and we love walking and exploring.

Why they want to house sit

We travel all the time and we find that housesitting is a great way to visit new places and meet new people.

Their experience

We have several years of experience house / pet sitting and we have several 5 star reviews on Trusted Housesitters, although none on here yet. We take a calm, warm, reliable, and caring approach towards our animal charges and soon become welcome to and trusted by them.

We are discrete and respectful of our hosts and care for homes as if they’re our own.

What can they bring to the assignment

We are very practical people and are capable of looking after your home and animals, where ever they may be in the world.

Testimonials

Perfect match

Amanda and Ivan looked after our two galgos for 10 days while we made a much needed trip to the UK. We hit it off right away. They were very attentive and wanted to know our precise routines for looking after the dogs which they carried out to the letter. The dogs were very happy as we could tell from the photos we received of them on nice walks. Amanda and Ivan were all round helpful and obliging with builders who turned up to work at short notice. Also the house was clean and tidy when we returned with nothing out of place. We couldnt have chosen a better match for our requirements. Highly recommend!
