My husband Gary and I have over 10 years’ experience caring for private homes, pets, and properties across the UK and overseas. We’ve run a licensed UK home boarding business and worked together maintaining homes, keeping them organised, secure, and running smoothly.

Gary’s background in IT makes him practical and solutions-focused, and as he works from home, he’s always on hand during assignments. I was a housekeeper for a private family for several years. We’re healthy, in our early 50s, with grown children and no pets. We’ve owned and cared for a wide range of animals, from cats and dogs (both small and XL breeds) to horses, tortoises, fish, and small pets. I’m especially passionate about dogs and cats. Gary likes them too, but I’m another level!

We work well as a couple, which can be especially valuable for more complex roles. We have many repeat clients and excellent verified references, which we’re happy to provide. Dog walking is included if required.

Rates: £70 per night (includes one pet) + £15 per additional pet (not per chicken!). We’re happy to travel anywhere in the UK; for journeys over 50 miles, we request a minimum 10-day booking. Travel is charged at 15p per mile round trip, but use of our car for pet-related tasks is included.
