I have some small holding experience with chickens, sheep, goats and pigs. That's not to say i'm an expert! But have the basics covered. This has all been primarily biodynamic and organic principled, incorporating permaculture and regenerative agriculture, so would prefer farms which value these things. Ben has some experience with horses. And cats seem to love him :)

It's lovely to form relationships with the creatures in our care and enjoy 'getting to know each other' during our time together.
I'm always touched by what I see as the generosity and trust of those whose homes (and furry and feathered companions) we're entrusted with caring for.
A message from our most recent cat sit with the lovely Molly called Nigel (her 'people' were just home from a long hual flight from Nepal)
'Brief message now as knackered (more tomorrow) but just wanted to say thank you SO much for the spotless house and clean sheets and flowers to come home to. We are so greatfull for you taking care of everything so beautifully ❤️'
We started housesitting when someone we knew wasn't able to do one of her regular annual sits, she suggested we try it and recommended us.. We really enjoyed the experience and then by word of mouth did a few more and discovered we actually really liked Housesitting!
We’re happy to send regular/daily photo updates if this is something you would like.
*Having been doing this a while we've now decided we're quite interested in trying out some longer sits where we get to settle in and really bond with the animals and the place.
Kellie and Ben took fantastic care of our cat, Bailey. The took great care of the house and left it spotless. Communication was good prior to the sit, and they sent regular updates and photos of Bailey whilst we were away. We would happily book them again.
Kelly and Ben sat for us for three weeks and were everything we could have asked for. Doris obviously loved them, and looked so well when we returned, and had been beautifully cared for. Many thanks !
Kelly was an amazing house sitter. The animals were very well looked after and the house was left very clean. Thank you so much! ❤️
First time using a house sitter. Kellie and Ben were great, Daily pics of the animals enjoying themselves. House left clean and tidy. Very good experience. We’d ask them again
Kellie and Ben looked after our dog (a 4yr old cockerpoo, Ravi) and our house extremely well. Ravi was clearly very fond of them and the extra walks in the forest. The house was immaculate on our return and included some things we didn't expect them to do. Communication was excellent.
Kellie and Ben were tremendous and looked after my chickens and the house extremely well - I hope we will be able to use them again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them both. Our house looked wonderful when we returned and chickens extremely happy,

Kellie is a very warm person and clearly loves animals. She looked after our pets really well and sent us regular updates with photos. She watered our plants and tendered the garden and the house was very clean and well-cared for. Happy to recommend.
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
