Viv and David

63, Retired Accountant / Voluntary Worker

71, Retired Railway Manager/ Voluntary Worker

We are a reliable, responsible English couple who love animals and enjoy house-sitting. We lived in Australia for ten years and spent the first nine months house-sitting. After settling in Mandurah, Western Australia, we continued to house-sit when we could, and later did several house-sits in New Zealand.

We returned to the UK in 2018. We now live in Devon but are now keen to house-sit in new places or near friends.

We are clean and tidy and like to look after things. We are non-smokers.

We have house-sat through Aussie House Sitters, Kiwi House Sitters, various agents and through word of mouth and can provide references.

Our first time using Housesittersuk following being recommended from a friend and we couldn't be more pleased. Vivienne & David are lovely and looked after our house and border terrier in her senior years impeccably, so much so she was sad to see them go. They kept us informed whilst we were away and communication from confirming the sit was excellent, would definitely recommend them and hope to see them again in the future.

Vivienne & David are the most wonderful couple. They arrived & we hit it off straight away. They are interesting and fun and appeared very relaxed with us and our nutter cocker spaniel Charlie. We had dinner and a bottle of wine kindly gifted by Vivienne & David. We left the following morning for our holiday knowing that Charlie would be fine. We had lots of contact throughout our holiday via WhatsApp messages and pictures. It was so nice that Vivianne & David took Charlie to lots of the ... MORE

No rating Thank you for taking such good care of my home, Sky and chooks for a fortnight in February! Vivienne and David are warm hearted and great communicators. They adored my dog (it was mutual!) and faithfully walked her, and the dog next door, twice and sometimes three times daily. They texted me regular updates and I valued their understanding my needs. I came home to a very contented dog and the house in wonderful condition. I whole heartedly recommend them as trusted house sitters.

No rating What a wonderful, professional couple Vivienne and David are. My elderly dog & my scatty cat were very well looked after whilst I was away. My house and garden were immaculate when I arrived home. I highly recommend them as house sitters and would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Vivienne & David. Enjoy the rest of your trip in sunny NZ!
