favoriteWhy we love house sitting

Love house sitting, gives us a chance to unwind and relax from travelling, Also a chance to look around the area we are staying in. We enjoy interacting with the animals and meeting new people 😀

Mark & Kathryn have been everything you could want from a sitter. Friendly, communicative, helpful and extremely kind to our furry friend Sammy. They left the house in a better state than when they left and im pretty sure Sammy is sad that they have gone, I think he had the time of his life. Would reccomend them for anyone's sit.
Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay, Sammy is beautiful, mark and Kathryn
Mary and Kathryn were great sitters. We met them beforehand and chatted regularly. They instantly took to Gypsy and she to them. It was as if we were all friends who had known each other for years. Came back to clean and tidy house and happy dog. Couldn't ask for more.
I cannot believe how lucky we were to have Mark and Kathryn take care of our girls and home so we could take a holiday. They are a godsend and if I could, I would have them every time we needed someone. Mark sent me photos of the girls playing and this really put my mind at rest as both dogs are rescues, one with anxiety, but Molly was so comfortable with Mark and Kathryn, I am sure they are sorry to not have them around now. We now value their friendship and to anyone out there needing the ... MoreI cannot believe how lucky we were to have Mark and Kathryn take care of our girls and home so we could take a holiday.

We now value their friendship and to anyone out there needing the best couple ever to look after your 'four legged children', you will in the best hands with this wonderful couple. Our Sophie, Molly and bird, Boydie will miss them. We even arrived home to a lovely dinner, you can't do any better than that.

Mark and Kathryn are a lovely couple. From the moment we met them, we had a good feeling about them caring for our house and pets. Whilst we were away they bonded beautifully with our pets (2 dogs and a cat), sending us regular updates and photos. When we returned, the house & pool were impeccably clean & tidy. Mark’s car detailing service also deserves a shout out! To top it all off they cooked us a delicious welcome home dinner. We highly recommend Mark & Kathryn for any house sit.
Thank you so much, love mark and Kathryn
Mark and Kathryn far exceeded my expectations under trying circumstances, there was no power for two days and the ride on mower was unavailable, the house was way cleaner than when we left
Thank you so much brett and Debra, we truly didn't want to leave. Mark and Kathryn
House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
