Experienced in life! Love all animals.
Retired
Semi retired
We are retired / semi-retired, but very busy most of the time !! We've been pet owners all our lives until we lost our last dog a while ago, and are now keen and available to housesit, looking after your pets & home as though they were our own, happy pets, happy owners. House sits are a joyful experience, meeting all furry & feathered friends & of course owners. We have had other house sits that haven't been advertised on this site, probably 28 in all. We are both fit and active non smokers who love walking and are interested in seeing lots more of the UK.

I cannot rate/praise Lynn & Stephen enough!! We felt as we had known them all our lives - they were such a warm & friendly couple from the off. We had FaceTimed them a few times before they arrived & we got on like a house on fire!
They were a very experienced couple in animal sitting and clearly enjoyed what they did.
Our dogs were treated & cared for so well….and walked twice a day.
They followed our instructions well and soon got to know our 2 furry/friendly dogs.

They have agreed to come back in July to dog sit again!

Lynn and Stephen are really wonderful pet/house sitters! From our initial what’s app call, I knew they would take fantastic care of Moggy, our elderly but very friendly cat and my instincts proved to be completely right. They made a point of coming down to London the night before the sit started to meet us and Moggy and to get to know us and our house and were in regular contact while we were away. I would highly recommend them and really hope they will come back and look after Moggy on another ... MORELynn and Stephen are really wonderful pet/house sitters!

Lynne and Steve arrived in good time to look around and meet our pets before we had to dash. They were warm, friendly and caring, we immediately felt comfortable. During their stay (the first day!) a water tank ruptured discharging water in to some of the downstairs areas and disrupting the electrics and hot water supply. We were contacted and informed of the situation , they remained calm and unflapable as they dealt with electricians and plumbers on our behalf. We came home to very happy ...

We were contacted and informed of the situation , they remained calm and unflapable as they dealt with electricians and plumbers on our behalf. We came home to very happy pets who acted like we had never been away - always a good sign - bedding washed and ironed and a very tidy home. We would have no hesitation is recommending them and hope that they will sit for us again soon
STEPHANIE (York England, May 2023 - 1 week 3 days)
Lynn and Stephen were fabulous house sitters over the Christmas period looking after our labradoodle Bertie, He was a very happy boy when we returned shortly after they left.
They arrived the evening before we left and were considerate about how to manage our leaving without distressing Bertie too much.
The house was in perfect condition when we returned and they looked after our 17th Century house very well.
I would highly reccommend.
EMMA (Faversham England, Dec 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
Lynn & Stephen were lovely people and made us feel relaxed and confident from the moment they arrived.
They sent us updates and photos while we were away, and upon our return it was obvious our pets and house had been taken very good care of.
We look forward to seeing them again in July.

Lynn and Steve were originally due to house sit in April 20 but this was cancelled due to Covid. They kindly agreed to house sit last week. Prior to and during their stay, they were excellent with regards to communication and keeping us up to date on our elderly, nervous rescue cat. As complete newbies, we were reassured that they were experienced and capable house sitters, by their many glowing reviews. They are a lovely couple and took great care of Sammy and the house.

Lynn and Stephen were perfect house sitters. They arrived before we left in time for a quick hello and introduction to the cats and house. We felt very reassured leaving our home in their care. Our cats are 15 years old and quite nervous of strangers but Lynn and Stephen worked their magic and we came home to two very contented cats. The house was absolutely spotless, much better than we left it! A big thank you from us for taking such good care of things while we were away. We would be very ...

Lynn and her husband took great care of Josephine and of the house (helped with two surprise plumbing issues for which we were very grateful). Very good communication, dog was very happy and house spotless.
CAROLINE (London England, Dec 2019 - 1 week 5 days)
Lynn and Stephen were lovely, my jack Russell took to them straight away. All the animals were well looked after, molly was walked more than usual so she was happy. The house was spotless and throughout our holiday Lynn and Stephen kept us updated on how everything was at home. Highly recommend.
SUE (Llanrwst Wales, Jul 2019 - 2 weeks)
Lynn and Stephen were excellent and we can highly recommend them
GILL (Great Bedwyn England, Jun 2019 - 4 days)
Lynn and Stephen looked after everything beautifully for us, and our puppy loved them. Originally they thought they were having two older dogs, but they both sadly died before the house sit, but Lynn and Stephen adapted completely to a six month old lively puppy, and looked after 40 hens and 10 ducks as well.
PAULINE AND MIKE (Colyton England, Jun 2019 - 1 week 1 day)
Thanks to Lynn and Steve for looking after our 4 cats and 2 bunnies so well. They left the house spotless and gave us such confidence that our furry friends were well cared for perfectly while we were away. Thanks guys,
HELEN (Cheltenham England, May 2019 - 1 week)
Everything was left as we left it and the dogs and cat and chickens were all well cared for. Unfortunately we had to cut the sit short as we came home early. Sorry. Would deinitely use again.
BARBARA (Littledean England, Apr 2019 - 2 weeks)
Lynn and Stephen immediately gave us the confidence and reasurrance of leaving our house and importantly our dog, Crumble, in their very safe and competent hands. Crumble immediarely took to them and on our return she looked very well groomed, cared for and happy. Our house too was immaculate! Furthermore we were delayed by two days in getting home and Lynn and Stephen went out of their way (changing their plans) to stay and continue looking after Crumble.

Amazing kindness. Warm, friendly people. Crumble was sad when they left...so were we! Definitely hope they come back and really recommend them as house sitters.
FIONA (London England, Dec 2018 - 2 weeks 5 days)
We were so lucky that Lynn & Stephen were able to sit for us after we had to rearrange at the last minute. They were so understanding. Great communicators, cared for our home and pets wonderfully. I'm sure our 'Diva', Tilly, had them wrapped around her little paws. Would recommend without hesitation and hope they will be available to sit again for us in the future.
CLAIRE (Waterbeach, just outside Cambridge England, Nov 2018 - 5 days - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Lynn and Stephen took great care of our house and our kittens. Our dog Sugar was elsewhere for the week but Lynn and Stephen were lovely with her when we all overlapped for a morning.
I felt confident leaving for a week knowing that our animals and the house were in safe hands. They sent a couple of messages to keep me in touch and the house was in great shape when I got home.
I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Leonie
Lynn and Stephen were simply lovely. Such kind people. They looked after our mad dog, 3 kittens and 3 chickens beautifully. They came the night before we left for our holiday and had dinner and got to know us all. They couldn't have been more helpful and looked after our house beautifully. Enormously grateful to them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing housesitters!
JENNY (Cambridge , Aug 2018)
Lynn and Stephen were wonderful housesitters. We left here feeling really relaxed and happy to leave everything to them. I got several texts to tell me everything was fine which was so lovely. When we returned the house was clean and tidy and the animals were just as we left them. Couldn't ask for better sitters. Thank you so much!
LIZZIE AND PETE (Coleford England, May 2018 - 4 days)
It was a delight to meet Lynn and Stephen. They did an excellent job looking after our home and our three dogs.for two weeks. They are both easy to get on with, mature and competent in all they do with an an air of calm and confidence about them. On our return the house was clean and tidy with a meal on the table for us! The dogs looked remarkable; groomed, clean and happy and were obviousy well looked after. We have no hesitation in recommending them - they were brilliant!
JOANNE AND DAVID (Aylesbury England, Mar 2018 - 4 days)
I would like to recommend Lynn & Stephen for their great communication and prompt responses whilst deciding to choose them as our house sitter. Unfortunately we had to cancel just a few days before our trip due to a bereavement but they have been very understanding and flexible. We hope to use them for our sit when we reschedule later in the year.

Lynn and Stephen are the best housesitters ever - fact! They took such loving care of our pets while we were on our festive break. Our dog adored them! They kept in touch with us to let us know how they were doing. They took splendid care of our house for us. They are lovely friendly people, we would definitely have them to house sit for us again. They were fantastic!
DANA (Sheffield England, Dec 2017 - 1 week 3 days)
Green garden!
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
