Phillippa (64) – Retired Safety & Traffic Management Supervisor
Tony (70) – Retired Marine Engineer.

We are mature, experienced, and reliable sitters who are currently without our own pets and traveling.
We cherish the opportunity to provide love and care to animals while combining pet sitting with travel. We feel deeply grateful for the chance to share our love, time, and attention with pets, and value the privilege of looking after homes and animals with respect, dedication, and affection.

We have been very lucky to have loved and cared for a wide variety of animals, both large and small, and now enjoy continuing that experience through pet sitting. Pet and house sitting allows us to enjoy time with a wide range of animals, while enabling pets to remain relaxed and comfortable in their own surroundings.
We familiarizing ourselfs with the daily pet routines and maintaining sits privacy and security of the home.

In 2022, our much-loved Fox Terrier and Jack Russell—both aged 18—passed away. After many years of sharing our lives with our own animals, this next chapter allows us to continue that connection by providing love and care to other people’s pets with the same patience and commitment.
We have extensive experience with dogs and cats, as well as horses, goats, chickens, ducks, birds, fish, and other livestock.
Phillippa has also worked on farms and has hands-on experience with livestock, including lambing and calfing. Tony enjoys the chance to do the lawns with the ride-on mower and brings strong practical skills, property maintenance experience, and confidence with tools and machinery from his career as a marine engineer.
We are non-smokers and non-vapers and enjoy the occasional glass of wine, gin, or beer with dinner. We take great pride in being respectful of your home, privacy, and routines, and we value clear and open communication. Every sit is treated with the same love and care as our own home.
It is an honour to look after other people’s beloved animals and their home while they are away—whether for work or a well-earned holiday. And if your furry, fluffy or feathered family members allow it, we’re always happy to offer a gentle cuddle or scratch.
