Hi

Thanks for viewing me, a semi-retired former geologist .

I have done a lot of petsitting through other sites and love it, so now decided to make it a paying hobby. I have sat cats,dogs,chucks,horses,sheep and fish. My home experiences of animals were cats and dogs and had a cat up until 2 years back when Murphy (cat) sadly passed.I have found looking after other people's pets to be so beneficial to me and I love being out and about so dogs are guaranteed all the walks they need. Having had cats I am adept at playtime with them too !

Character-wise I am a positive,outgoing sort and get on welll both with people and pets ! I travelled quite a lot with various jobs worldwide and have seen a lot of the UK which I love.I am capable house owner and have looked after houses and apartments - location/ambience are key.

Pets welfare comes first and foremost so I always seek comprehensive instruction and your pets preferences/routines which helps keep them happy whilst you enjoy your breaks - a few treats also help !! Further to this if housesittting involved then basic knowledge of your dwellings essentials.

If travelling then I agree travel costs on a sit by sit basis and am happy to discuss fees in detail as required.So far have done house/pet sits in UK,Spain and Germany.

I hope I have given you a little insight but please feel free to get in touch and arrange a chat .
