Rachel & Den

Hello everyone 👋🏼
Thank you for taking time to look at our profile.

My partner Den and I, and our lovely small very friendly, low maintenance (also non-moulting) Cockapoo Bella are looking for adventures while we save funds to build our own home on this wonderful nomadic adventure which we'd love for you and your beloved chosen family to be a part of!

We're both DBS checked due to working with vulnerable young people in some of our work.

We are both deeply compassionate, spiritual, and positive souls. We're both creative professionals. Den is originally from Yorkshire and I am from Kent and we are based in Thanet but travel often for work and our wonderful house sit adventures.

Lockdown pushed us to take the leap and are now working towards our dream of buying some land and building our own home.

We are both very thoughful and respectful souls who get fulfilment from doing good deeds for others. We have amazing references (some from other paid house sit clients who are not on this site as well as the ones you see on here). So you can rest assured while on your work or holiday trip with the peace of mind that we are taking the best care of your home, animals and plants with conscientiousness, professionalism and love.

Ideally we are looking for house sits which allow us to bring Bella with us too if possible please (although for shorter sits we can give her a little holiday with friends and family).

We have been house sitting now for around 2 years also with a portfolio of repeat large estate house sits.

From small holdings to flats, huge high end houses and everything in between. We have cared for dogs, cats, rodants, reptiles, horses, goats, chickens, ducks and a donkey. We both love the great outdoors and like to get stuck in and are very practical. I have green fingers and love caring for peoples plants and gardens and am an animal person through and through, and love tending to gardens and Den is very confident with more challenging animals and loves getting his wellies on and walking the dogs through the countryside and mucking out the goats or letting the chucks out first thing in the morning and bringing me fresh eggs etc..

While our house sit owners are away we do something we call Pupdates where we send you an update and pictures via Whatsapp as often as you'd like so you're reassured your fur babies are being looked after as if they were our family. We are more than happy to do this for you as often as you'd like. We're both obsessed with Bella so understand how nerve racking it can be to leave them with someone you don't know well.

Both being in the creative industries, we work from home for much of the time and we are always with Bella. She is a very friendly pup and would love to meet new friends. She can be nervous of larger overly energetic puppies (mostly if they're males with their tackle in tact- sorry lads!) 😆 but is great with all other furries, chickens etc.

We currently live in sunny Margate and enjoy long walks along our beautiful coastline and would love to enjoy exploring new places walking your beloved fur babies. We love to get a taste of the good life in the country. Having had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, fish at different points in my life, I have extensive experience of administering care for most domestic pets including medication and grooming.

I am currently working on a very exciting project where the majority of the work for the next year is online based. Den teaches dance sessions to young people and high net worth individuals.

Please do not hesitate to message us with any questions you have for us and if you are interested in us house sitting for you we can have a talk on the phone or via Zoom/ WhatsApp video chat.

Looking forward to talking to you and taking care of your homes and extended family.

With Kindness,
Rachel, Den & Bella
