Zelmarie & Jeffrey

We see ourselves as house caretakers. We take over while you’re away; whether you've got cats, dogs, fish, chickens, rabbits, sheep or even a vegetable jungle in your backyard, we've got it covered. Our mission is simple: we leave your place better than we found it. No mess, no fuss, and no constant questions bothering you. We're your go-to team for short-term house-sitting in Southern England.

Nervous Dogs & Owners

If you're feeling uneasy about leaving your furry friend alone, or understandably want to meet the people you’re letting into your home, don't worry. You can drop by and meet us for a walk from our house, or if you’re nearby we can come to you, or we can do a video call, or you can even book a trial night to make sure everyone gets along. Whatever you need to feel comfortable.

Meet Us

First up, there's Zel. She's a South African Occupational Therapist who's a pro at snuggling with our furry pals. From big to small, she's got it handled. Zel usually takes care of feeding and making sure everyone gets their meds on time.

Then there's Jeff, a Dutch guy who has run his own digital marketing agency from home for the past 18 years. Jeff loves hiking, and he's all about taking your dogs on adventures. He's a bit of a dog whisperer, even with the anxious or challenging ones. During the week, he's usually in charge of walks, grooming, and playtime.

We’re generally both very tidy and organised people, pretty social and relaxed. We’ve had pets most of our lives, but don’t have any right of our own right now.

Experience Counts

Here are some things we do because we've got some experience under our belts:

Good to Know

In a nutshell, we're here to give you peace of mind while you're away and make sure you come back to a clean and happy pet and home.
