More information about this house sitter

Hi!

About us:
We are a family of two (myself and my seven year old daughter) experienced sitters and would love to be considered to take care of your home, beloved pets and gardens. We are passionate animal and nature lovers and love to spend our time outside and have been pet sitting for over 5 years!

We live a calm, quiet little life and are very clean, tidy and organised. We love to garden so would happily upkeep any gardens or plants you wish, and any other odd jobs you require. We have also maintained pools.

Background:
My daughter has grown up with our two cats, a ragdoll and an adopted rescue cat and has spent lots of time around her grandmas pet ducks, chickens and cows. She loves all animals, big and small. Especially playful dogs! She is very kind hearted and gentle and has no bigger love than animals.

I grew up in Denmark on a farm surrounded by pet cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, lambs, birds, calves and joeys! I have been taking care of pets, farm animals and rescue native wildlife since I was a child.

Our house sitting experience has ranged from chickens, ducks and cows to fish, mice, bunnies, cats, dogs and plants! We have cared for large dog breeds such as German Sheppard's, smaller lap dogs, active playful dogs, and older pets.

Anxious or high maintenance pets:
I have had a lot of experience with stressed and anxious animals, and rescue animals, so if your pets have any separation anxiety or are timid of new people, I am very capable of tending to their needs and making them feel comfortable.

I currently work part time so I have extra free time during the day to spend with your pets if you're pets are used to company.

Concerns your house isn't childproof, and have breakables around:
My daughter grew up in a house that wasn't childproof. I took the attitude of teaching her what she wasn't allowed to touch and to always ask. She has her own toys we bring with us, and doesn't touch anything in the houses we look after. She is generally always by my side, playing in a room supervised, and doesn't open doors or cupboards or touch other peoples property. Our own two cats are indoor cats and amazing escape artists (with my parents), so she is accustomed to pets who are not allowed outside.

Concerns about your pet being around children:
My daughter like myself is able to read animals very well, when they are anxious, timid, playful, affectionate or just not in the mood for a cuddle. She is very gentle with all animals. She isn't a loud child and has grown up around adults so is probably quite mature for her age. She will leave a pet alone if it doesn't want to be petted. She is also accustomed to what to do if a dog jumps up, which does happen often as some dogs tend to get excited when they meet us. She comes on dog walks with me, however I don't allow her to take the lead herself unless it's one of our regulars and we aren't near a road, as many dogs can be unpredictable and the safety of your pet is a priority.

Do we charge:
I don't charge for house/pet sits, as I believe it is a mutually beneficial agreement and we are trying to avoid the rental market so you are helping us save for our forever home! We absolutely love what we do and it's been amazing to give my daughter the experience of growing up and caring for all different types of animals.

Bookings:
We have fallen in love with all the pets we have looked after, and we get booked out quite far in advance with our regulars, so even if you aren't completely sure of exact dates, it's best to contact us as early as possible if you're considering a trip. I don't use this site's calendar as many of our bookings are not through here.

I am professional, respectful and reliable and treat all sits as a service I am providing. I understand it can be difficult to leave your home and pets in the care of someone else, and to try and alleviate any concerns I am more than happy to provide daily updates/videos/photos. I go above and beyond to care and respect your home and to ensure your pets will be very well loved, happy and entertained in your absence. We adore all animals and would love to take your pets for daily walks, playtime, cuddles, grooming and most importantly, our company.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have, provide personal references, a police clearance and for you to meet my daughter prior to making a decision.
