About this sitter

"Robert and Amanda are just perfect travellers, respectful, sweet, easy to communicate with. It was a really good experience for us. Recommended of course" - Noel in Saint-Etienne, France.
- We are Amanda and Rob, both in our forties in age and mindset. A British couple who has been together for 15 years. We met whilst travelling across Europe. We have worked in many countries including Europe, Canada, Egypt, the Middle East, Africa and Singapore…so far. We have travelled to other countries including Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Australia etc.
-Animal Care Qualifications -
We adore all animals, we have qualifications in Animal Behaviour and Animal Care.
We were both raised with cats and dogs. We have occasionally worked on and helped with our family’s organic farm in Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Robert has volunteered at South Lakes Safari Zoo in Cumbria in the United Kingdom, feeding lemurs, giraffes and penguins and cleaning animal shelters.
-Our Work -
We are ‘location independent’ working as successful Business Consultants in Learning and Development for human resources, specialising in designing courses in Advanced Communication Skills, Customer Service and Business Psychology. We have been known to participate in volunteer work, including, for example, teaching English and reading skills to people in Cambodia.

Why they want to house sit

We will go just about wherever the opportunities are! We do not require much other than the basics so long as we have good internet connection. We have always loved to travel and to 'live' in locations instead of using hotels. We are genuinely, equally happy to be either located in a remote quiet place to contemplate and read, or in a city, experiencing the culture. Either way, your furry animal family is our priority.

Their experience

We adore all animals; we have qualifications for both cats and dogs. Qualifications in the Ofqual Approved Level 2 Award in Canine Care and Behaviour which meets the new UK Animal Activity Licensing Regulation requirements for the basic standard requirements to care for dogs. This covers the Principles of Canine Health and Welfare and Principles of Canine Behaviour and Training and basic Canine First Aid. In addition, we have OCN Awards Level 2 Award in Feline Care and Behaviour Qualification, which includes Feline Health and Welfare and Feline Behaviour and First Aid.
-Our Rescue Cat and Dogs-
Our rescue Persian long-haired cat ‘Wolfie’ was rescued from the streets of Dubai having been found maltreated, malnourished and very nervous of people. We gained her a passport and she travelled over 4,500 miles to her new happy home with my mother in Britain. I’m pleased to tell you that ‘Wolfie’ our cat is now confident, happy, only eats expensive food at her own request and is the ‘Queen’ of the house! 'Wolfie' the cat even loves Britain’s snow! We adore dogs too, having owned lively Dalmatians and Jack Russell's and have cared for many breeds over the years.

-Satisfied, Happy Homeowners -
Here is just a sample...
"They are a lovely couple, who treat people, animals and property with respect. Reliable and trustworthy in any situation, level headed with plenty of common sense. Respectful to cultural diversity. Very knowledgeable about animal care, and the kind of people one can depend on in an emergency" - Katherina Løkenhagen , Teacher of children with Special Educational Needs, in Norway.
"I highly recommend Amanda and Rob who rented property from me in the past, over the span of 10 years. At all times, I felt that my property was in safe hands. You would be hard pressed to find more dependable house sitters. I can confirm that they have consistently been personable, friendly and responsive. They have kept my property clean and tidy, to both inside and out and have reported any issues to me in a timely fashion.
They have even made agreed improvements to the property, including improving the garden, such a landscaping and planting.
I would be more than happy for them to house sit for me in the future, as they are the ideal, respectful house sitters and I am confident that you will find them responsible"
