Hi there, my name is Coleen and I am an energised 56 year old who feels 42...I am new to this site, although not new to House-sitting!

I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, considerate and caring to look after your pets/home/garden. I like animals alot and would love the opportunity to get to know your furry friends and their personalities while taking meditative walks and spending quality time in nature. I love being around animals and recognize animals have the ability to bring us much joy.

I am also very passionate about the environment and live an intentional life. I care about what kind of impact I make while living on this earth. The motto I live by is "Always leave a place better than you found it."

I have house-sitted in the past and have always been praised for my attentive caring nature. I know that communication is very important and will make sure to keep you updated on your pet/s.

I have qualifications in horticulture and will give TLC to any plants and trees you may have in your home or garden. My background is in Community Work, Mentoring and Eco-Living practices. I have volunteered for non profit community organisations in the UK and in various countries around the world. I have previous experience of living and managing a homestead in Jamaica for 4 years.

I am a creative student of life and love learning. Over the years I have taught myself through necessity and interest - painting, decorating and furniture restoration.

Currently, I am focusing my attention on slowly travelling around the UK while writing my memoirs.

My daughter Sapphira who is 27, will be spending a moment with me before venturing off to travel on her own. She is hardworking and considerate and has a passion for animals and cooking. We work well together and will make sure your pets and home are our priority and will make sure all agreed responsibilities are met. We are both non-smokers.

Thank you for taking the time and consideration. May the possibility of this barter exchange serve our respective needs successfully.

We look forward to hearing from you soon...
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any more information.

Warmest Regards
Coleen and Sapphira

Coleen and her daughter looked after our home and our two pets, Star and Ziggy for three weeks. We were very impressed by the care and attention they gave the pets and both the garden and house were very well looked after. I would not hesitate in recommending Coleen as a house sitter and felt reassured that the animals recieved such affection and attention. The house was spotless when we arrived home, Coleen had clearly gone to alot of trouble to ensure this was the case and was a welcome ... MORE

I was incredibly grateful to Coleen & Sapphira for stepping in & house sitting my place while I was away. My place was spotless when I came home & while away Coleen kept me informed of any updates. It was a pleasure meeting them both. And if they’re ever visiting Brighton again it would be lovely to catch up.

Arranging a house sit gave us the added bonus of getting to know Coleen and her daughter Sapphira. They are interesting people and we found lots of common ground. They struck up a really good rapport with our dog Maya, who seemed entirely relaxed with them and even coped with the trauma of fireworks and thunder with their help. Lotus the tortoise seemed happy with them too. We came home at the end of our holiday to a lovely clean house, a flourishing greenhouse and delicious home made food in ... MORE
