Dedicated Experienced Housesitter

About this sitter

I am in my thirteenth year of housesitting. I have experience of different animals, birds and reptiles. Especially as my father is from a farming family.
As I am currently doing end of life house sits in New Zealand for a little dog and a little cat, who I have cared for throughout my years of doing housesitting, I haven't included my phone number on here, as it would be too costly to phone New Zealand. As soon as I am back in the UK (the end of March). I can be contacted by email.
I am happy to look after various animals, reptiles or birds.
I am DBS checked, with a Veterinary Assistant's qualification. I also have a Dog Trainer Diploma. I am insured and I have very good references.

Why they want to house sit

I am happy to housesit. I no longer have animals of my own, since it was impractical once I started house sitting.
My dogs lived to great ages of 15,16 and 17.
I also like to visit different parts
of the world.

Their experience

I have 13 years of experience as a house sitter with extensive experience.
Included in that time, I have 67years experience of house and pet sitting in New Zealand for
friends who foster for the SPCA in NZ. I am currently doing end of life care in New Zealand.
I have formerly bred, worked and shown Border Terriers to Crufts level. I have owned
various domestic pets, including budgies, zebra finches and tortoises.
