Single68, Former nurse, future PIP assessor
N.B. FROM MAY 2025 I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE BOOKINGS MORE THAN 5 WEEKS IN ADVANCE.
From 17 February 2025 I can only take bookings which start and finish at weekends (20:00 Friday-20:00 Sunday).
I'm vegetarian, non smoking and non drinking.
I've previously been mum to a Labrador, 4 German Shepherds and a Rottweiler, plus birds, fish, tortoises, rabbits and cats. All my dogs were rescues, and the Bengal was "second-hand"!
I know pets' body language associated with sadness, nervousness and affection, and respond appropriately to keep animals happy in their comfort zone. You will receive regular updates during the sit, according to your wishes.
I will respect your home as I would my own, and maintain it. It will be clean on your return.
With your permission, I will happily take your dogs in my car as long as they enjoy this. It is a Volvo estate with a blanket and a safety screen.
I almost always sit on my own, but if I want anyone to do the sit with me, or even visit your home for the day, I WILL ALWAYS ASK FIRST.
Most of us can provide a DBS document.
I can administer medicines in oral, topical or subcutaneous preparations.
I live in Nottingham NG8 and am free to travel.
I do house sitting for the love of animals (not tourism on the cheap!) and my pension is not great. Therefore I would like my travelling expenses paid and will attempt to calculate cost of car journeys in advance of confirming, generally 35p/mile.
If doing a train journey, I use a Senior Rail Card and split ticketing when appropriate to lower the cost.
I currently charge a daily rate of £5 but this may change if I find that the sits render me out-of-pocket.
Please state that you agree to this, when you contact me.
I'm always grateful for prompt responses so that I can update my calendar.
Marie-Josephe arrived in good time on the day we were going away. We had regular communication & photo's of our boys throughout the week. We came home to two tired & happy dogs, our home was well looked after & Marie-Josephe had even left us some home made bread. We would definitely recommend her & welcome her back if she wanted another trip to Frome.
Marie-Josèphe is a wonderful, very considerate sitter. She took excellent care of my dog, Oscar, who can be a bit demanding.
I would strongly recommend Marie-Josèphe as a sitter and would love to have her back for another sit.
Fantastic! Very pleased with Marie-Josephe's help. She kept us updated and managed to keep on top of mindy's eye drops. Clearly cares for animals and has had lots of experience with them. Would highly recommend.
Well.. what can I say.. an amazing house sitter, returned to an immaculate house with a very happy dog.
A great person to have staying in your home, mature, responsible, tidy, trustworthy and I would recommend her 100%+
Thankyou x
Marie-Josephe is the perfect sitter. Communication from the outset was excellent and the whole arrangement of the sit very smooth.
The dogs absolutely adored Marie-Josephe and were very disappointed when we returned home. We were kept up to date with all of their activities throughout the sit. When we returned home the house was absolutely immaculate and there was even a loaf of fresh baked bread waiting. Marie-Josephe is also fantastic company and incredibly interesting to talk to.

Marie josephe is a very warm,thoughtful,friendly lady. We felt very comfortable leaving Enzo with her & he & our home were very very well looked after . We will hopefully use Marie josephe again & we would highly recommend her as your pet is in very competent caring hands
Marie-Josèphe arrived the night before, as I had to leave very early the following morning. I could see how relaxed she was with my dog Jonas and he appreciated her attention straight away. I was totally at ease to leave Marie-Josèphe to look after Jonas and the house. While I was away, I received some lovely photos and even some tips about Jonas' eating habits. On my return the house and garden were immaculate, even the sheets were washed, and Jonas was a happy dog. I would recommend ... MORE
Marie was a brilliant sitter! She kept in touch when I needed her to and left the house really clean and tidy and the cats seemed really content on my return! 😊
We had initially met about a week before and chatted for a good couple of hours. Marie is really friendly and genuine and open cannot compliment enough. Marie told me about her love of dog sitting as well.
Very pleased and would definitely book again if she is not too busy. I would highly recommend Marie to anyone with cats or ... MORE
Amazing lady.. looked after my GSD and my home very well. Looking forward to having her back in September x
Marie and her daughter and dog arrived on time and quickly blended in to our country lifestyle.
The dogs all got used to each other and the house and plants were all in good order on our return.
Highly recommended and thanks
Marie-Josephe looked after my car Milo for 2 nights in June 2024 in London. We haven't met in person but we did an online session and also shared infor by email and through messages. Everything went well. She left the house tidy, clean. I would definitely recommend her as a house sitter. Very lovely person.
What a fabulous sitter Marie-Josephe is! So accomodating, she went above and beyond what was expected. A great communicator and so helpful. She was fabulous with Meg who I can tell adored her. She left the place immaculate. And I must add a HUGE thank you to Barry for taxiing me around because of the train strikes! So kind!
I would most definitely highly recommend MJ as a housesitter and welcome her back anytime.
A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
