Hello, we are very experienced house and pet sitters currently on the island looking after 2 adorable cats. Our house sit finishes on September 18th. We are a well traveled retired couple from the Uk, fully Covid vaccinated looking to see if anyone knows anyone who might need housesitters as we are enjoying our time here so much. We don’t get paid and we don’t pay to stay in a home. Our responsibilities are to keep the home running and clean and sorting out any problems that may arise. We also look after any pets living in the home and treat them like they are our own pets. We belong to a house sitting site in the UK where we have 5 star reviews from every sit that we have ever done around the world. Does anyone know how we can find house or pet sitting opportunities out here?

I should also add that I firmly believe your services would be greatly appreciated by many on island!

I also plan to travel in November (for longer time frame) so if you could figure a way to remain on island until then we could make that work as well

I have no idea how to private message as it just occurred to me this is going out in the forum lol. So if you know, please message me privately. Thank you!!

Hi, we have a newly built cottage in the South. Only need your own food. We were thinking if it would suit you both? and you would still be able to go stay at the other person's house dog sitting for the couple of days while they are in the uk.
If interested what sort of things can you help out with? Gardening? Painting? Etc how long would you want to stay?
We are new to this.
Julie

Hello Julie,
Thank you very much for taking the time out to reply to us and your very generous offer of your lovely new cottage. House and pet sitters are a little different from caretakers therefore our priority is the security of your home and giving your pets the love and security that they will need whilst you are away. I’m afraid that the only chores that are expected from us are those such as feeding and caring for animals, watering plants, pool maintenance and general house maintenance. We are not gardeners or painters I’m afraid so we won’t be much use to you but we really do appreciate your response.

No worries it was just a thought if you wanted to stay on the island, we didn't know what was involved. Hope all goes well for you both.
Regards julie

Housesitters are often mistaken for caretakers or a handy man type thing Julie so it’s ok. Most of our housesits have their own gardeners and cleaners and tend to be properties that for security reasons should not be left empty for long periods of time. If we are lucky enough to get a pet to look after with the house then it makes our experience so much nicer. Thank you again though for such a wonderful offer.

Hello again, would anyone need a house/pet sitter in the North of the island? No money is exchanged. We will look after your cats or dogs as if they were our own. We like to do sits that are a minimum of 3 weeks in a house that has a minimum of 3 bedrooms. Our current housesit finishes on the 17th of September. The dates do not have to match our dates, we can rent until you wish to leave the island.
