Bob

66, Retired

Since early retirement 13 years ago. I have been sailing slowly around the world but with covid returned to UK leaving the yacht in New Zealand.

I am a quiet person, love reading, history, classical music, expeditions, mountaineering, canoeing and sailing. In the past I have had a Labrador and Springer Spaniels. Totally love animals having spent part of early life on my grandparents farm in Mid Wales. I retired 13 years ago from social work, working with young people, to concentrate more on travel. We both had a guest house, bunkhouse, outdoor centre on Loch Lomond so am used to hospitality

I am double vaccinated, a non smoker and in very good health. Happy to do care of gardens and light odd jobs around the house (I have a number of let properties so am able to do basics.) Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or queries you may have.

Look forward to meeting you.

Bob was a brilliant house/pet sitter - incredibly flexible which was important as the ferries have been a bit iffy but also as other reviewers have said, he left us a meal for our return home! The pets were all good, and we would be happy to have him in our home any time. Thanks Bob!

Bob was a fantastic house sitter. He communicated very well, was flexible, friendly and considerate. He agreed to stay a few extra days so that I could extend my trip. He took excellent care of the pets, house and garden and even cooked a lovely dinner for me coming home. I would definitely recommend Bob as a housesitter and would be delighted to have him back any time Thank you Bob

Bob came down the evening before we were away to see the routine for the animals , so we could go away assured that they would all ( and there are a few ! ) be safe and well cared for .Which they were , Bob also did some gratefully received garden clearance during his stay . The day after Bob had left my horse galloped down the field and looked disappointed it was only me ! Bob left the house spotless and would be welcome again

Bon was amazing , jumping in pretty much last minute and making it all so easy Came back to a spotless house and happy dogs , as well as a nice bottle of Prosecco and some veggies in the pan for a soup ! He will be more than welcome anytime and most def highly recommend

No rating Debbie and Bob went the extra mile and dinner was ready when I returned from a hectic conference. The animals clearly warmed to them from the start, and I was confident all would be well. Thank you, and I definitely recommend Debbie and Bob to you. Lesley

Garden Maintenance

Green garden!

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