Loving & Caring

67, Retired and Enjoying Life

Retired and Enjoying Life

We're a retired, mature, reliable couple who are very tidy, house proud and non smokers.

We've looked after pets and homes both here, New Zealand and now in the UK and have regular families who book us for their trips away.

We love animals and I owned two beautiful border collies for 17 years until old age took them in recent times. I've also owned many cats over the years and love having them around me.

An important part of house sitting for both of us is really getting to know the animals
we care for and gaining their trust while giving them lots of l9ve, cuddles and attention.

I had my own horse for several years so fully confident to look after horses.

Because we don't go out to work, this enables us to spend quality time making sure your pets get lots of love and attention. We will look after them and your house as if they were our own so you can go on holiday feeling totally relaxed knowing your home and pets are in safe, loving hands.

We're both very calm, level headed and adaptable and enjoy change and new adventures.

Ashley and Phil very lovingly took great care of our cats, were in frequent contact and left the house spotless! Thank you!
 
GEMMA (Wallingford England, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks) From House Sitters UK
This was our first time arranging house and pet sitters while on holiday, so we were a bit nervous about the process, but absolutely hit the jackpot with Ashley and Phil! From start to finish they were so helpful, and put our minds at ease about the security of our home and care of our pup. Ashley did an incredible job of looking after Derek and our home - even suffering through the awful storms that hit the UK! We were given regular updates the entire time we were away, which allowed us to ... MORE
 
GEMMA (Slough England, Oct 2023 - 2 weeks 1 night) From House Sitters UK
Ashley and Phil, are the house sitters of house sitters! We do often feel a little nervous about leaving the house and dogs; Ashley and Phil's care, attention, warmth and affection for our dogs meant that we were able to completely relax whilst we were away. We simply cannot recommend Ashley and Phil enough and will always try to plan well ahead, in the hope that they will be available to house sit again. Thank you both so much x
 
HANNAH (Bedford England, Jul 2023 - 3 weeks) From House Sitters UK
Thank you Hannah & Colin, it was an absolute delight to look after Arthur and Lipsy and will always be there for them. ❤
Ashley & Phil were absolutely fantastic at taking care of our dog and house. This was our first experience of house sitting, Ashley was clear and helpful from the outset in terms of communications. Ashley & Phil took great care of our sometimes complicated dog, with regular updates. On our return the house was cleaner than when we left. What a great start to house-sitting.
 
NIC (St. Albans , Feb 2023 - 1 week 2 days) From House Sitters UK
Ashley and Phil were brilliant looking after our Gordon Setter as well as the house. They kept him amused and took him on interesting walks. The house was left in an immaculate condition with even the log pile resupplied. Communication was excellent with daily updates provided.
 
PETER (Crowborough England, Jan 2023 - 3 weeks) From House Sitters UK
Ashley and Phil were perfect. They take care of our cat, Phil even savez our Ragdoll who met a snake in our garden. Easy communication and clean house when we came back. I highly recommend them.
 
AGNèS (Thorneside QLD, Sep 2022 - 3 days)
Ashley stepped in at the last minute and she and Phil were kind enough to come the evening before we left on holiday as we had an early flight. It was our first time leaving the house and our pets, but we needn't have worried. Ashley stayed in regular contact, the house was spotless when we came home and our dog and cat had clearly been really well looked after. Thank you Ashley!
 
ALICE (Bishops Stortford / Saffron Walden England, Aug 2021 - 1 week 1 day) From House Sitters UK
This was our first time using housesittersuk.co.uk. We were obviously wary of leaving our dogs and our home to be looked after by people we had not met, but we had nothing to worry about! Ashley and Phil looked after our beloved dogs Barney and Prince, our cat and fish - and everything else in the house and garden, just as we would have ourselves. We cannot recommend them more highly. They left everything as they found it - maybe a bit cleaner... Thank you both. Our first housesittersuk ... MORE
 
HELEN (Worcester England, Jul 2021 - 7 days) From House Sitters UK
Ashley and Phil took great care of our home and most importantly our dog Phoebe. Ashley has a lovely rapport with dogs and we know Phoebe received lots of attention while we were gone. We would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a house/dog sitter.
 
HELEN (SEATON England, Jun 2021 - 8 days) From House Sitters UK
Ashley was a very lucky find for us... we've never had a house/dog sitter and were a little anxiousabout leaving our shy/nervous rescue dog Pixie. We needn't have worried, Ashley cared for our little girl like she was her own, listened to and understood our directions on how to keep her calm and relaxed. She did all of that and looked after the house too. We're very impressed and it's such a relief knowing we now have someone to rely on when we can't take Pixie with us. We've already booked ...

JULIA (Whitwell England, Sep 2020 - 4 days) From House Sitters UK
Ashley came to stay with our dog Tilly while we were on holiday, and we felt really lucky to have her. She clearly loves animals and Tilly took to her straight away. Ashley was easy to communicate with and we especially appreciated the photos we received while away. Ashley was very flexible, arriving the night before we left to accommodate our early flight, She even changed her plans to stay an extra night at very short notice when our return flight was delayed, which was a huge relief for ...

BETHANY (Cambridge England, Mar 2020 - 1 week) From House Sitters UK
Ashley was very reliable and gave me constant feedback and photos of my lovely pets I felt very confident that Ashley really cared for Poppy and Buddy Also left me a beautiful bunch of roses for my return Thank you!
 
SUE (Tring England, Feb 2020 - Month) From House Sitters UK
Ashley sat for our anxious old lady for a short sit and treated her like a princess. A little bit of spoiling was needed to get her through the disruption and she was well looked after. I also came back to a much cleaner and tidier house than I'd left! No issues or concerns at all, would happily recommend Ashley.
 
JULIE (Oakham England, Jan 2020 - 3 days) From House Sitters UK
Ashley looked after our two dogs and home earlier this year. She communicated well throughout the whole process and we came home to a clean tidy house and happy dogs. Thanks Ashley! I would recommend Ashley to anyone thinking of using her.
 
JO (Cheltenham England, Jan 2020 - 1 week) From House Sitters UK
I wish there was a way to give Ashley 10 stars for the care and love she showed our animals during our recent holiday! She made us all feel completely relaxed from the moment she walked in. Our pets were so chilled around her from the start. We left the house with a big smile. Ashley also updated us regularly with photos of our little ones and kept us well informed. When we returned, the house was absolutely spotless and the pets as happy as if we never left them! I have no qualms in ... MORE
 
BERNICE (Bagshot England, Dec 2019 - 2 weeks) From House Sitters UK
It was my pleasure to look after coco, snickers, kitkat and your lovely home. Anytime again I'm yours x
Ashley was just like having an old friend in the house. Can't speak more highly of her. And Jaspa loves her
 
TERRY (Bednall England, Nov 2019 - Week) From House Sitters UK
Ashley was our first House Sitter and she gave us confidence we had made the right decision. Our two dogs loved having her stay and we had video / photo updates whilst we were away. As an added bonus we returned to an immaculately clean and tidy house!
 
BEN (Sevenoaks England, Oct 2019 - 10 days) From House Sitters UK
Ashley came to stay at short notice, and settled in very well with our new Romanian nervous rescue and malamute husky and chickens, she sent us plenty of pictures and kept us updated, The little rescue took to her and gave her cuddles all day, we returned to two happy dogs, and immaculate house, I really hope Ashley is around next time we go away
 
KAY (Petersfield England, Sep 2019 - 10 days) From House Sitters UK
Ashley was an excellent sitter, she took amazing care of our dog and our house, and the house was so clean when we got home. She even hung in there when we had a key mishap, for which I'll be forever grateful!
 
LAURA (Cornubia QLD, May 2019 - 4 days)
Ashley looked after our and dog for ten days and if I could give her a six star rating I would. We returned to an immacuate house, thriving garden and a very contented and happy dog. Boots the dog obviously became very fond of her as he kept wandering into the guest room to see if she was there. I have no hesitation in recommending Ashley as a housesitter and hope she can return here on future trips.
 
ANNEMARIE (Samford Valley QLD, May 2019 - 1 week 3 days)
Ashley took care of our home while we were overseas for 3 weeks . Aside of taking great care of the place Ashley was exceptional when it came to our pets. Our Border Collie was walked on a regular basis and well looked after. Also, one of the cats had been recently diagnosed with cancer. It must have put considerable pressure on her. Ashley handled the matter admirably, taking Hollie to the vet when treatment was necessary and reported back to us on her welfare. It meant a lot to us while ... MORE
 
TRACEY (Cleveland QLD, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Ashley arrived on time and took great care of our puppy, Mia. She took her for beach walks and communicated via text with photos. Ashley also left our home clean and tidy, with kitchen clean, dishwasher unpacked and bedlinen washed and folded. Also the white tiled floors were spotless. Thanks Ashley for all you did to give us peace of mind while we were away.
 
DAN AND MICHELLE (Surfers Paradise QLD, Feb 2019 - 5 days)
Ashley was the perfect house sitter. Our pet adored her and she treated our home and dog like it was her own. Would highly recommend Ashley to take care of your property and pets. Thanks Ashley, until the next trip!
 
YVETTE (BIRKDALE QLD, Dec 2018)
It was my pleasure Yvette. Spike was a joy to look after in your lovely home.
Ashley has taken great care with our house, yard and pool as well as very special care of our three dachsunds. She is efficient and reliable and was able to care for and manage our dogs with a terrific attitude. I highly recommend Ashley as a house and pet sitter!
 
ALEX (Lota QLD, Dec 2018 - 1 week)
Thank you Alex. Look forward to Thursday and seeing the puppies again.
I had the pleasure of having Ashley housesit for me last year. She was a great house sitter. My house was spotless when I got home and my cat was very happy. Ashley truly is a 'cat whisperer' and managed to give my cat his tick and flea treatment, without him hissing at her! No small feat. I am fortunate in that Ashley will be housesitting for me again soon.
 
JANELLE (Victoria Point QLD, Oct 2018)
Thank you Janelle, love looking after your home and cat. He has the best personality. Looking forward to spending time with him again this month.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Ashley to look after your home and your pets. Ashley was such a pleasure to deal with and looked after our house and fur pets so well. They loved having her and we loved knowing she was with them. Ashley is just an absolute delight to have looking after your home.
 
PAULA (Redland Bay QLD, Oct 2018 - 6 days)
No rating Ashley looked after my 1,5-year-old Staffy dog when I went overseas for nearly 7 weeks. During that time Ashley and I communicated frequently (also before the actual sitting start date- she is just so lovely) by text-messages, photos, and video-clips which gave me a peace of mind. I learned that not only did she look after my dog extremely well; she also took care of a few incidents relating to the car (flat tire) and the house (the sink stopped working). When I arrived the house was sparkling ... MORE
ANNE (Emu Heights TAS, Jan 2018 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating I totally recommend Ashley to anybody who is looking for someone to love, spoil and look after their dog. Ashley looked after our very spoilt Samoyed for 3 weeks and we came back from holidays to a very happy pampered dog. Ashley went out of her way to look after Yuki and took her out in her car for trips to the park. I received updated videos and photos of Yuki which was very appreciated. Upon our return we found the house was neat and tidy. If you are after a wonderful, caring dog lover ... MORE
KAREN (Thornlands QLD, Dec 2017 - 1 week 1 day)
No rating Ashley took care of our home and 2 cats and dog for 3 weeks while we were overseas and we can't thank her enough. We received regular updates on how the animals were doing and on our return came home to a lovely clean house! Thank you Ashley, it was great to know our home and pets were in such great hands!
KAREN (Wellington Point QLD, Dec 2017 - 2 weeks 6 days)
No rating Ashley did a great job looking after our two small dogs and our house while we were away. From the time we met her until we returned we had confidence that all would be looked after well and it was. The communication over the month was easy and we returned to 2 happy puppies . Thank you for your great care and attention ,Ashley.
GRAHAM (Birkdale QLD, Oct 2017 - 4 weeks)
No rating Ashley was a fantastic house sitter, looking after our 2 dogs and cat while we took a short break. She clearly loves animals and looked after ours like they were her own with genuine affection. She is a lovely lady who I would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring house sitter.
GYL (Capalaba QLD, Aug 2017 - 4 days)
No rating Highly recommended.
ROBERT PENNELL (Birkdale QLD, Jul 2017)
No rating Ashley looked after our house and 2 pussies in July this year. She was fantastic. The house and garden were well loved and looked after and looked great when we returned. Our 2 pussies were nurtured and cared for by Ashley and very comfortable with her. She is a great communicator and kept in regular contact with us to make sure our minds were at ease whilst we traveled.A trustworthy, warm and kind lady who we will continue to ask to look after us.
BRUCE & WENDY (Wynnum QLD, Jul 2017)
No rating Just want to say how great it was having Ashley look after our 2 pets (Cavoodle and Cockatiel)and home for a few weeks whilst we were overseas. It was wonderful to receive an occasional update message from Ashley on how the pets were going. Ashley did everything we asked of her and everything she sakid she would. On our return home, house, garden and pets were all perfect. Thank you so much Ashley for your wonderful care.
JOHN (Manly West QLD, Jun 2017 - 2 weeks 4 days)
No rating Ashley took care of my 3 small dogs as well or better than I would. I could tell that they were very happy while I was away. The house and the garden was very well kept and clean. I recommend Ashley as a sitter to anyone in the Redland area
DAPHNE (Thornlands QLD, May 2017 - 4 weeks)
No rating Ashley has house sat for us two weekends in a row. Our animals (2 dogs, 1 cat and 3 chickens) were all well looked after, our house was looked after and Ashley went the extra step of washing a load of towels for us that we hadn't gotten around to as well as washing her bedding and towels that she used. A real pleasure to have Ashley sit for us. We know our property and pets are in great hands. We look forward to having Ashley sit for us again and know that we can trust Ashley to look after ... MORE
SHARON (Mount Cotton QLD, Apr 2017 - 3 days)
No rating Just had Ashley Housesitter for us. We couldn't have asked for a more sincere, honest and above all a caring cat sitter for our elderly cat and our Marine tank. I would not hesitate in recommending Ashley to be a house sitter for anyone.
CARMEL (Cleveland QLD, Apr 2017)
No rating I have to say that we were so happy with Ashley we would like to keep her all to ourselves for future sits. Absolutely wonderful - house kept perfectly and animals very happy did not want Mummy to return. Ashley coped with the pool and flooding just as well as the professional pool man who comes. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter. You would not be able to find any better.
