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:

• We figure out your trash schedule and make sure it's in our diary with a reminder. No one wants to come home to overflowing bins, right?
• On the day we leave, we start with laundry. Bedding and towels go in the machine, so you don't have to deal with it later.
• Chores first, then relax. Nobody wants to wake up at 2am realising they forgot to lock up the chickens.

Good to Know

• Social Life: We're just like you; we've got friends and a social life, which we don’t pause just because we’re living somewhere else for the week. We prefer seeing them where we are pet sitting so we don’t have to worry about them being home alone at night. We, however, do not like nor throw house parties. We’re the type to serve tapas and shiraz, not crisps and vodka.
• Privacy Matters: If you've got security cameras, we will ask you to switch them off, aside from ones outside and a doorbell camera.
• Leaving Pets: We should be able to leave the house for a few hours. We will never be away longer than that though.
• Pantry Raid: We don't bring our entire pantry with us, so we'll use your basics (salt, pepper, oil etc.). We hate food waste, so any fresh fruits or veggies in the fridge will be put to good use. But don't worry; we won't touch your fancy steaks or that special bottle of balsamic you’ve been saving!

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.
