We have been providing a professional standard of house and pet sitting services to executives and professionals in Europe since 2007. Based in the South of France in 2010 / 2011, we serve clients across Europe and internationally, and are particularly seeking sits in France, Italy and Spain for 2010.

We are creative professionals, and run our own business, providing editorial photography and writing, software for photographers, and web design for creative professionals. A former university lecturer, and a former personal trainer and police administrator, both aged 48, we love travel and the company of pets, and combine the two through house and pet sitting. We find it to be a great way to travel, and to meet people. We have made many new friends and discovered some wonderful places this way. Instead of travelling as tourists, we get to be part of the local community and we embrace that aspect of our house sitting enthusiastically.

We are highly experienced, confident and skilled in all relevant aspects of pet and home care. We have cared for a wide range of properties across Europe, and are off to Japan on one of our sits in 2011. We have cared for a manor house in Brittany, a Masseria in Puglia, fincas in Andalucia, villas in Crete and the Costa Tropical, farmhouses in Charente, County Cork and South Wales, thatched houses in Devon, and waterfront properties in Dorset, along with bungalows and apartments. We have clients across Europe, and references available to anyone wishing to book us. We know how to use and manage various types of swimming pool, log burner, peat burner, open fire, central heating of all types, air conditioning, along with the associated variations in water, sewage and electrical supply found when travelling across Europe. You can have every confidence in us. We are also security conscious and have a police officer and an qualified vet amongst our regular clients and referees. We have experience with a wide range of pets and domestic animals, and have particular skill and personal experience in the welfare, care, medication and feeding of elderly and infirm pets too.

Today, you will find us in Portugal, but we can be with you as soon as required, assuming we are available. Contact us for our latest availability.

We do not charge for our services, but we do seek quality clients to sit for. We will provide your pets and home with loving high quality care, and in exchange, all we ask is for you to stock the fridge and larder for us, and allow us use of your internet connection so we can maintain our business, as we work online from your home. We travel with our own computer equipment, and usually our own vehicle too, although clients often leave a vehicle suitable for us to take their pets out and about in, or for trips to veterinary care etc.

For questions about hiring us please email or Skype us. You can follow us on Twitter for our latest news and updates.

We look forward to meeting you soon!
