Tom & Nicky

Hi there, we're Tom and Nicky and we're excited to look after your home and pets :-)

We've been living overseas for the past 15 years but have recently moved back to the UK to continue working in the film industry and be closer to family.

We're very house proud and have a glowing reputation among friends and family for how beautifully we've curated and maintained the properties that we've rented over the years, most recently in Melbourne Australia where Nicky (a true plant whisperer) created a garden brimming with seasonal abundance - a real catalyst to connect with our Greek and Italian neighbours! Over the years we have regularly looked after friends dogs while they're away for work or looking for an alternative to doggy daycare. We've spent months at a time caring for a friends cat in Melbourne while they were on tour with Cirque de Soleil and more recently have spent time with Nicky's brothers cats in Wanstead, Apollo and Gaia, two gorgeous Siamese.

We have immaculate rental history and would be happy to provide any and all references to support this claim. We travel and tread lightly and we're fastidiously clean and tidy. We work hard and home is a sanctuary where we recoup and relax.

We're lifelong early risers, ideal for morning walks and feeding. We're passionate about cooking, which goes hand in hand with our passion for travel and exploring new neighbourhoods. Between us we're also right into hiking, bike-packing trips, digging through record shops, live music, film making and cinema, photography, books, vintage motorcycles, painting and gardening.

We think house and pet sitting will be a terrific way to reconnect with parts of the country that we remember fondly and also explore other areas that remain unknown to us after all this time away. Our work is based mainly around London and west of London but it's likely to take us anywhere in the UK and Europe, so that's another reason why the nature of this sitting site is appealing. We love travel but we also love having a cosy, comfortable home base, so we hope this ticks all the boxes and helps other people in the process :-)
