House-sitting, and being involved in the countryside walking dogs, looking after cats, is a nice thing to do, providing variety - meeting new people & exploring new situations. Summer'22 I had lots of fun, enjoying forest & beach walks: & wouldn't have met all the wonderful peeps/wide variety of friendly animals, companions!...
So carrying on as I settle back into routine, as I negotiate the tricky territory of relocating back from Amsterdam. I'm now focused on experiencing different locations in Devon pls!.. within easy reach of Exeter.

Apart from the Iceland/Amsterdam pics, all pics taken out on recent animal/house sitting location. How lucky ..

The various pet characters I encounter as my writing-companions is glorious... an asset, keeping me a little more focused. I do try to attend to the preferences of my lovely furry companions as I write: mainly I try to blend in nicely.

books - ( I WRITE books!..)

And, just published my first Dutch magazine article, [in Dutch (!)} about Swedish piano legend, Lisa Ullén,
(in GONZO Circus) : second article upcoming about Norwegian sound artist Tine Surel Lange: looking forward..

Becoming busier, so my response may be a little delayed: if it's meant to be, it just will be, I've discovered.. I've had some last minute sits, that have been wonderful!..

My wonderful son spontaneously joins from time to time, when not hard at Uni studies: hosts have been incredibly generous in accommodating this. Valuable timeout to gifted to my son too, so thank you..

And so the circle of generosity turns,
A 'thank you' goes a long way, really it does. I notice i
it every time,
reach out, let's see..

responsible, sociable
sympathiques (en francais), always said to me when in France

enjoy walking, music, good artisan local food
beaches, countryside, salad, coffee, sunshine


fresh air,
chocolate

pls note:::
sometimes I manage to get into writing and get distracted:::
so- I've set the 'slow to reply' button.

if it's meant to be, it'll work itself out.

Rose was the loveliest of house sitters and I am very appreciative that she came to look after Olive and the house. Communication was excellent and I came home to a very happy cat and a very well looked after home :) thank you so much Rose and wishing you all the best for the future :) xx
 
KATY (Matlock England, Mar 2023)
Rose left the house tidy and did have to top up the boiler while we were away, so we thank her for that. But we have to admit we were a bit disappointed about a few things, the main one being that she left a day early. This meant that we had to ask neighbours to look after the cats which kind of belied getting a house sitter! We didn’t really think that it being half term and there being the Epsom derby were ‘unprecedented’ nor that they would cause ‘gridlock’ on the M25! We were also a ... MORE

Rose did a fine job and the dogs obviously enjoyed the long walks..Our house was well cared for and she left a beautiful cottage pie for us to have on our late return. Thoroughly trustworthy and a lovely person as well. I wish she was available for our next sit!

Thanks so much for your hosting generosity ~~ what a wonderful & warm Bredon's Norton welcome, & hi to Roxy & Monty!. I'm sure they're up to all sorts of tricks still. Best wishes sent!
Rose was AMAZING. When I came back home, my place was spotless and I could tell that Justice was well cared for. She also seems like a very thoughtful, gentle and present human being. If you have a chance to book Rose, PLEASE DO!

We were so grateful to Rose for looking after our house and cat whilst we were away for a few days to celebrate a birthday. She is a lovely person who left our house immaculate. The cat was content and well cared for. I highly recommend her as a house sitter! Thank you, Rose.
 
EMILY (Kingsbridge England, Jan 2023 - 2 days)
A big thank you, Rose! You have done a fantastic job looking after our cats and the house. Bruno and Chica were so relaxed and happy after our return, many thanks! Wishing you all the best and please come back, if you fancy a stay/visit in Cornwall:)!!
 
ESTHER (St Columb Major England, Dec 2022 - 6 days)
Rose was amazing. Our cat seemed very happy after her visit and she left the house immaculate. She kept us in the loop at every stage and was a delight to have in our home. We would strongly recommend her to anyone - exactly who you want looking after your home when you are not there.
 
ANGUS (Swindon England, Dec 2022 - 3 days)
We were so happy that Rose was able to sit for us. It was obvious that our 2 dogs were very happy with her. She was very diligent in learning all she could about the dogs and their needs and our cat which was very reassuring. We were also very grateful that the house was immaculate when we returned from holiday. We would happily use Rose again if she were free.

Safe house!

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