We love animals and have house and dog sat for friends that live in the New Forest and also house and cat/rabbit sat for neighbours.

We love exploring new parts of the world and would love to look after your furry/feather friends and look after your house whilst you are away.

We are house trained!

Simon and Sarah are a delightful couple, interesting, approachable and very reliable. They watered our enormous garden which is quite a task especially during a heatwave. Most importantly they befriended and cared for our 3 cats giving them lots of love and attention and also enjoyed feeding the fish in the pond. They maintained the house and when we returned it was just as we left it . We can highly recommend them as dependable and trustworthy house sitters. We will be asking them back when we ...

Sarah & Simon came to see us prior to this housesit as they live quite nearby. They are kind, responsible and efficient. They looked after the dogs very well and communicated regularly with us. The house was immaculate when we got back with the sheets and towels washed and back on the bed! I hope they will come back to do another sit soon. I highly recommend them.

Another great sit from Sarah & Simon, who we highly reccommend Felt very reassured leaving Benji with them again. Arrived home to a very happy dog and lovely clean house.
Thank you for your lovely review

Sarah and Simon looked after our 5 year old German Shepherd dog Benji, and house. We met them prior to the sit and felt a connection with them straight away. Sarah and Simon kept us updated with pics of Benji throughout the sit which was greatly appreciated. On our return the house was lovely and clean and Benji was very happy boy. Would not hesitate to recommend, and would love them to sit for us again.
House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
