Dawn and Simon

54, Poet and Copywriter

53, Prop Stylist

We know what getting away is like nowadays and so we can sit at very short notice. We are insured and are a reliable couple who love being around animals and nature in general. I (Simon) grew up around all sorts of pets: dogs, usually two at a time, cats, same, birds of all sorts, fish, tortoises, guinea pigs etc, and Dawn, my partner of 12 years, had rabbits and rode horses throughout her childhood. We don't have any pets now and so are free to give all our love and care to yours and your house. We have looked after friends dogs, chickens and cats in the recent past, and house sat a boat for three months in Ramsgate harbour! We work flexibly from home usually, Dawn has to occasionally travel to photo shoots, usually in London for two or three days every few weeks or so, but I don't, so we can usually guarantee that one of us will be around all the time (very occasional trips to a restaurant excluded :)).

Simon and Dawn cared for my home and my beloved moody moggie completely perfectly. Their gentle, kind and thoughtful approach made my being away a very comfortable trip. I would highly recommend this lovely couple to be invited into your home.

Dawn and Simon are a delightful couple who looked after our home, dog, cat and tortoise with great care and consideration. I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, considerate, and trustworthy sitters. They also went the extra mile, helped pick plums from the tree and even made us a lemon cake upon our return (as well as stocking the fridge with a few essentials!). I hope to welcome them back again (if they aren't too booked up). Also, communications with simon ... MORE

Simon and Dawn are two absolutely lovely people who I feel fortunate enough to now count as friends. They are kind and caring, and our two cats, Harry and Henry, didn't seem mind that we went away and left them with 'strangers', something we've never done before.... positively offhand with us on our return..........ginger cat Harry in love with Dawn, (I think the feeling is mutual!). Everything was looked after carefully and calmly...ducks, chickens etc. They are delightful, and I can't ... MORE
