Optimal Care

43, Carer / Volunteer

Available for sitting not only to look after your home and garden but all pets, small scale livestock, some exotic species, plants.
I do not smoke, vape, drink or use drugs, well I must say coffee and exercise is probably my only vice.
I hold a enhances DBS clearance with update service, although many people say that it is as useful as an MOT. However I have had many over the last 10 -15 years and currently have three as each role I do requires a separate one.
Full clean driving license with business insurance.
I can work from anywhere on my laptop just need a WiFi connections.
I am very fit, healthy, strong and energetic with a flexible approach.
Will look after, and respect your home and as I would myne. I will follow instructions as you leave for me.
I have three amazing children and gorgeous Jack Russell (3 year old Lola).
I will not be bring Lola on any sits as she will stay home with my childrens dad as he works from home too.
I can do single adult sits usually over weekends, when children are with their dad, and some school holidays when they with him.
Longer sits (school holidays ) I will sometimes need to have my child/children with me. Usually the youngest boy age 8. His older sisters would probably choose to stay with their dad and only accompany me if the sit attracts them. (i.e location near beach, pool, or farm)
I grew up on a small holding for 15 years in South Africa, where I helped take care of various breeds and species from dogs, cats, geese, chickens, cows, sheep, ponies, donkies, goats and so the list goes on. Not afraid to get stuck in on the more challenging stays, including administration of medication or the long lazy days for the beloved pet who just needs the relaxed cuddly company.
I can go on long, playful walks with the energetic dogs too as I try and reach a 15k -20k step count a day according to my fitness tracker. I often help with sitting or companion walking my friends dogs on days out or as required. I also keep busy in the day doing charity work and volunteer at a local pony riding facility for children with additional needs.

If we could give Louise 6 stars we would! Louise was kind, flexible and great with pre-sit communication! A remote handover us important to us and she facilitated this perfectly. When we arrived home our animals were relaxed and happy, well loved and the house and garden absolutely immaculate. She went over and above what we required, and we do not hesitate when we say she's the best housesitter we've had so far! Thank you so much! Very highly recommended.

Louise was FANTASTIC! Communication was brilliant. The house was immaculate, pets all amazingly looked after, one of our dogs even lost weight as Louise walked them so much. Not sure they were that thrilled to have us back! She kindly washed all her bed linen and even offered to get supplies in for us prior to our return. I cannot recommend Louise enough and she will be our first port of call for any future sits.

This was a great house sitting experience! Louise was clear in our communication and happy to provide any additional information or assurance needed. It was great to get to meet her before we left but she was also kind enough to give us space to finish packing and leaving! Arthur has been really well cared for, loved and walked and we received regular updates too. Our house was sparkling when we returned, even with some essentials in the fridge. Thank you. Really appreciated how clean and ... MORE
