Avis

66, Retired nurse

Retired from the day job as a nurse I took up house and pet sitting abroad with helpx and workaway. Even did a husband sit. I still count the time I picked up a goose that was being harassed by dogs as one of my braver moments. I was born on a farm and at various stages the house was home to fish , rabbits, guinea pigs, and a cat that was with us for 20 years. My son had a staffie for 15 years and I was first on call for holidays and weekends away.
I enjoy going to new places, and doing things different to my every day life. I enjoy being outside...in fine weather, and reading. A kindle in a lovely setting with companions of the pet variety is my idea of bliss.
DBS checked from time as a home carer during covid. I can provide a local reference from a 14 year old staffy that I have pet sat for all her life, and still enjoys a walk of a mile of two, but did not save the other references from abroad.
I'm fit active and medication free and lead a simple life.
I still have a car but would prefer a place supplied by public transport as once it dies won't be replaced.
Now living in a flat I miss the garden and happy to pull a weed or 20 while with you.
I would like full details of your pet so that I can feel that I already know them prior to the sit, health, disposition, favorites' and routines.
If you feel I would be right for your pet or home ,please get in touch. Thank you

Avis was brilliant! Kept me informed with photos of Spot too and all was spit spot on my return. I didn't have to worry about anything and Spot was well cared for with all his needs ( fuss and food ) met.

Avis looked after our cottage and cat perfectly. Kept us up to date on everything that happened, dealt with a couple of problems swiftly and efficiently. Our cat was a happy laid back boy when we returned.

What a great find. Cannot recommend Avis highly enough. She is very calm, organised and communicated well. We came home to a very contented and well looked after dog. Will most definitely be using her again.

Avis did a 10 day housesit for us. Chickens and dog were well looked after. House left lovely and clean when we arrived home. Good regular updates whilst we were away reassured us that things were fine. Avis was great and would recommend her to others.

Avis did an excellent job of looking after both my rescue dog Bobby, and also my newly acquired huge garden! Avis sent me a daily update, including a photo of my boy and the house was spotless when we returned home. I have no hesitation in recommending Avis as the perfect house sitter for your fur babies. And will be using her again, in fact, we already have another date booked in!

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
