We moved to the UK from Australia 6 years ago to be closer to our children and their families who all live in London. Shaun was born in Royal Leamington Spa, UK and moved to Australia in 1965 whilst Kathy was born and raised in Sydney.
We are experienced in handling all types of animals especially horses, having bred and professionally trained racehorses in Australia whilst also owning and managing a spelling property. We also love to care for cats, chickens, mice, rabbits, you name it.
We have been married for 44 years and are very solid and reliable. We will look after your home and pets as if they were our own. Please take a look at our reviews for additional information.

We are both non-smokers with a GSOH and enjoy nice long walks in the countryside.
Kathy and Shaun were absolutely lovely, so friendly and kind, they looked after Toby beautifully as well as our house, they even left a bottle of wine on our kitchen table which was a lovely coming home gift. Can’t rate them high enough, would strongly recommend and happily have them return to us in the future xx
Shaun very kindly agreed to housesit for me at short notice (2 weeks) even though his wife Kathy was unable to join him due to work commitments. Shaun is calm and capable and his knowledge and experience with horses was invaluable. My horses are both 17hh but he was very relaxed around them and they both enjoyed the attention he gave them. The stables were spick and span on my return - better than when I left them! My cat accepted him as a replacement source of food - and Shaun kept his ... MORE
Shaun and Kathy sat for our dog and parrot, bringing Oscar - their dog. It went brilliantly.
The communication prior to and during the sit was first class a d they were very considerate amd thoughtful throughout.
Their care of our home and pets was exemplary, to the extent that we joked our house was cleaner when they left than before!
We would have no hesitation in using Shaun and Kathy again or in recommending them to others.
Shaun & Kathy were amazing house and pet sitters. Kept us up to date with photos of the dogs.
I couldn't of asked for better house sitters. Lovely couple. My dogs instantly took to them. Their dog Oscar just became part of the pack, and is just adorable.
My bungalow was so clean and tidy when we arrived home. Even the garden had been tidied up, which I wasn't expecting as its winter.
I hope they will house sit again one day.
Shaun and Kathy were amazing sitters. They treated Bessie, Rupert and Diego as their own. Shaun updated me regularly on Bessie's travels with him. They kept our house safe, secure and tidy. I highly recommend them, and will be asking them back next year. Thank you Shaun, Kathy and Oscar. xxx
Shaun looked after our home and our rabbit Dumpling whilst we were on holiday. He looked after the house brilliantly and left it immaculate.
Dumpling loved spending time with him and he gave us regular updates about her. We were able to completely relax knowing that she was looked after so well and our home was safe.
Shaun is a lovely, reliable man who you can trust and we would recommend him as a house sitter.
Shaun has been a brilliant housesitter and we feel very lucky to have found him. He is reliable, punctual and kept us updated regularly. Our dogs immediately warmed to him and got plenty of exercise and attention. The chickens and fish were also well cared for. We came home to a clean & tidy house which was much appreciated. We hope to have Shaun look after our home and pets again in the near future.
Shaun has been an absolute delight! He is completely reliable, loves animals and has gone above and beyond the call of duty during his stay. He has handled gardener, decorator and cleaner with equal aplomb. He took my 97 year old mother and her carer out to lunch and generally been a lovely chap. I could not recommend him highly enough.
Shaun has been fantastic. He is completely confident with our lively dog. He has cared for her and bonded with her as if she were his own. He is experienced with dogs and has a good knowledge of their needs. He has taken full responsibility of the security and quirks of our home, seeing to handymen and the odd teenager drifting in, with flexibility and welcome. I highly recommend Shaun as a trustworthy, easy going and capable house sitter. He gave us absolute peace of mind and friendly welcome ... MORE
