We are a British married couple and being semi-retired, we are looking for any suitable house sitting assignment anytime of the year, anywhere in the world!

Why I want to housesit

We would like to see a variety of places and spend quality time together. We provide this service for free, mainly because this is the time for us to travel to new and exciting places, stay in a variation of amazing, unusual and quirky properties while we relax and enjoy some quality leisure time together; All while looking after your property and taking walks with your pets.
House sitting offers us the perfect opportunity to both travel and enjoy our time together, while keeping our costs to a minimum.
We also have the choice of locations we want to housesit, i.e.

near the beach for surfing and diving, in the countryside for the fishing or in the city for the entertainment!
We are very flexible and can often provide house sitting dates well in advance, whether this is for 2 months in Greece, 6 months in Australia or 1 month over Christmas time in New York!!

What I bring to the assignment / relevant experience

We both have full police clearance through the Security Industry Authority (SIA)and are qualified security personnel.
In addition to working with highly respected, multi-million pound organisations like Microsoft and BG Group, we have also looked after single occupier houses, during house sitting, which has made us very versatile in everything we do. We have been vetted by the above and are also vetted by Security Industry Authority (SIA), which is why we have become very understanding of the requirements for the security industry.
With our vast experience, we can therefore offer you peace of mind that your property, equipment and your grounds are safe around the clock, as we are SIA trained officers who are very vigilant at all times and always conduct our procedures to the highest standard.
Guarding property is one of the ways we make our living when not house sitting.
We see ourselves as 100% committed to looking after your establishment and pampering your pets so much that they won’t not want us to leave!

Michelle and John were very professional in their approach to our needs when they looked after our cat , dog and large house.they left the house clean and tidy and emailed us every week. They even stayed longer and helped with some of our renovation work for a small fee(cheaper than local builders but better and more reliable).we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again next time we are away from home.

Michelle and her husband John house sat for me while I went on holiday over Christmas and New year.

They were very friendly and my cat, Toffy, loved them! She’s normally not great with new people and can be quite touchy! I was grateful that they kept in touch regularly whilst house sitting, it was nice to know how Toffy was doing and how they were getting on.

The house was clean and tidy when I got home too! All in all, out of all of the people I’ve had to house sit, I would recommend Michelle and John to anyone. They’re professional but really down to earth at the same time, lovely people and easy to get along with.

We’ve kept in touch since and it’s like I’ve known them forever!
If I ever need house sitters again, I know who to call Thank you!

Mr and Mrs Ward rented a property through myself at BLaK Property from November 2011 through to June 2013. The rent was always paid well in advance and the property well looked after.

John and Michelle, are absolutely the best housesitters I have ever had. Ruth gelled so quickly with them both and she loved the long walks and playing on the beach.

They kept my house clean and tidy, despite looking after a messy dog! I am looking forward to them house / pet sitting for us again in the future. I would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy people to care for their home and pets.

Thank you very much for looking after our house and our pets.

All our pets where well looked after, especially the dogs, thank you. Our house was tidy and clean, and maybe even cleaner then before we left for our holiday. I would definately recommend John and Michelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy couple to look after their house and pets.

Will be asking John and Michelle to look after our house and pets again.

Thank you very much

Michelle and John have been close friends for over 15 years and in that time I have learned that they are not only a generous couple, but pride themselves on their reliability and commitment.
They are both practical and adaptable with many skills between them and work well together as a team.

They are sincere, trustworthy, responsible, decent people and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them as house sitters.
