Best pet sitter ever !

50, safeguarding officer

I have a lifetime of experience with a range of dogs from Newfoundland, Bull terrier and lab's, both chocolate and Black, and I almost forgot 'Spongy' our golden retriever as kids. I have had several cats including apricot Siamese and a few strays.

I am competent with dog training and behavioral skills but not formally trained, yet our last dog was trained to therapy level and used in many schools and special needs situations. I deeply miss the interaction with dogs and cats there is nothing like the unconditional love you experience, all of them characters with their own quirky habits.

I am looking for the experience of house sitting in different areas to get out of my neighbourhood in Towcester for a change. My partner and I are looking to buy next year and still no idea where to move to, perhaps I will be inspired.

I have full advanced DBS certification and reference available to send via email or txt message if required. I have uploaded these to the website but they don't always appear to be attached to the conversation.

Daniel arrived a day early for the sit which meant we had time to get to know him before we left for our holiday. This was our first time using Housesitters and although we were anxious at having a stranger in the house, Daniel soon put us at our ease. He is a natural with dogs and soon had them under his spell! He kept in touch with us via WhatsApp and sent photos/videos. He is a kind and insightful person and someone you could learn a great deal from. We felt very comfortable with him ... MORE

Daniel was our first house-sitter and it was a good experience. He took very good care of our cat and dog for the three weeks we were away and gave them both lots of attention. They certainly missed him when he had gone. Daniel took good care of the house and it was very tidy when we returned. He even cooked us a meal.

We can not say enough about Dan. He was extremely caring of our dog and home. He was alway happy to pitch in when medication ran out or it was time for the groomer. His communication was excellent and he is in general a very kind and caring person. We would highly recommend him.

The (male) Mary Poppins of House Sitters! Never having had a house sitter before, we were nervous about having a stranger in our house and taking care of our pets. First video call with Daniel put our minds at rest and spending time with him for a pre-sit hand-over we felt very comfortable leaving him in charge. He obviously has a great fascination and deep understanding of animals, especially dogs and takes pleasure in their company. We had regular updates while we were away and any (tiny) ... MORE

From the first conversation with Dan we had 100% confidence that the dogs were in very safe hands. Dan took a particular interest in the personalities of both Charlie and Archie and ensured that they were well looked after and did not miss us too much while we were away. Dan took the dogs to the forest and they had a great time running around after each other. The house was well looked after we appreciated the regular update and photos while were were way. We have no hesitation in ... MORE

Daniel was amazing with our two elderly cats and a very lovely housesitter all round. Gave us plenty of updates, made sure they were taking their medication, and left the house clean and tidy when we got home. Would 100% recommend.

JENETTE (Driffield England, Oct 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
This was our first time of having a sitter, but Daniel was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Right from the start we communicated by video and telephone and planned the stay, including meeting us the day before so he could familiarise himself with everything. We immediately felt very reassured by him and throughout our trip he communicated regularly with photos and anecdotes of our much missed spaniel and cat. On our return the house was in very good order, he had even done the laundry! He ... MORE
 
JEMIMA AND PIERS (Salisbury England, Oct 2023 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
Daniel was absolutely wonderful. We could tell immediately that our old pooch would be in safe, kind hands. Dan sent us regular humorous updates and photos during our trip which were much appreciated. We came home to a happy dog and a spotlessly clean and tidy house (maybe even cleaner than when we left 😂) Dan had even attempted to clear away the many autumn leaves that were descending on the garden! We would absolutely recommend Dan and would welcome him back into our home at anytime.

We feel so lucky to have connected with Daniel on here and it was a pleasure to spend a bit of time with him before and after the sit. He took excellent care of our house, 4 cats, 3 foxes, birds, squirrel and garden as well as our regular cat visitor. He was so intuitive with all the cats and quickly sussed all their individual personalities, habits and routines which is no mean feat! We enjoyed the funny updates about all the animals' exploits and were able to relax and enjoy our break knowing ... MORE
