Taking good care

66, Ex-Government retired

70, Ex-dentist retired

We are both professional people. We have our own home in the UK and we are keen gardeners with half an acre of lawn, trees and borders and enjoy garden work. We know the importance of pride in property ownership, and we are very conscious of security and good maintenance. We have experience looking after Aussie dogs, cats, chooks, sheep, aquarium fish and canaries. We have owned four cats over the years and Dorothy is experienced in cat care. Simon walks a disabled neighbour's dog most mornings. In terms of safety, Dorothy was fully cleared for her work as a dentist. Simon had high level security clearance for Government work in London. We like to get out in the day but spend most nights at home. Our clients from past years have kindly posted references on this site. Looking forward to getting back to travel and house sitting after the bad years of Covid.

A big thank you to Simon and Dorothy for taking such good care of our home. What a pleasure it was to return home to find absolutely everything as we would like it. By the way, the pasta sauce was delicious Dorothy. Thank you.

No rating Simon and Dorothy were a house sitting dream for us and we would have them back in a flash. Did everything asked of them and more. Intelligent, honest, accepting, and absolutely delightful. Gorgeous couple! Lucky you if they travel to Oz again and you get them!!

No rating Hello, We had the pleasure of having Dorothy and Simon care for our house, garden and pets while we visited our daughter OS in early 2014. We had not done house sitting before and were extremely happy with the whole process. I was able to relax completely and enjoy our holiday because I knew all my animals were in safe hands. Rosie, my cat, seemed very happy when we returned after 3 weeks. The chooks and 2 sheep were all well and the veg patch was lush and green, even after some extreme ... MORE
