We keep good communication with owners. We have both worked in the petcare industry.
We do not walk large dogs on leash unless they are very well trained. We are happy to throw ball in the backyard or walk dogs around the property. We have both been home owners and treat our house sitters homes with care and respect. We have both been pet owners and treat our sitters pets with the care and attention we would toward our own pets.

Beverley settled in well with our cats and home and we were very grateful for the housesit.
Beverley is a gem of a house sitter and a lovely human being to boot. Highly recommended!
I have no hesitation in recommending Beverley. Dogs were so well looked after and she treated them like her own. They were happy and healthy when we returned from our holiday. House was left immaculate and Beverley always answered questions I had promptly. I will definitely be getting Beverley back for our next holiday.
Beverly is a professional house-sitter. The house was clean and tidy when I returned. Cats were happy. Beverly communicated well. Including sending cute photos and videos of the cats. The pot plants were watered. No garden care was required.
Bev was great! She kept us informed before and during the sit, which was great because we'd heard on the news about a huge rain event in the area, so it was reassuring to know everything was OK. The house was left so clean, and Bev even washed the bed linen and towels (most appreciated!). Our doggy was well looked after too, of course. Thanks so much Bev!
I thoroughly recommend Beverley to house sit and my dog would agree. Beverly was very friendly from the outset and her communication was great whilst we were away, letting us know how our dog and chickens were getting on! The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and Barkley was thoroughly contented, and a little sorry that we had returned!!
Peace of Mind

Happy you!

With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
