Non smoking and clean

65, retired school teacher

I have been a house-sitter and dog/cat-sitter for 7 years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I grew up with dogs and cats in our family home and like to play with them and will ensure your pet has fresh food and clean water each day. I live in west Wales but am originally from Bristol/Somerset but want to travel all over the United Kingdom either in cities, towns or rural settings. I have my own transport. I do not smoke and will keep your home secure and clean whilst there. I like to watch documentaries and study in the evenings so will always be around at this time. On some days I may like to explore new areas in terms of local walks, museums, art galleries etc. I take my role seriously and can provide references from other people that I have been a house-sitter for. I have an up-to-date police DBS check.

Paul was a brilliant house and pet sitter. This was my first time using House Sitters and I must admit I was a wee bit nervous. Paul made it such a positive experience for me and Masie. He looked after the house extremely well, watering the indoor plants too. Masie was very, very well looked after. Paul was just a lovely man and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others and hopefully I'll have him back at some point.
 
SUSAN (Eddleston Scotland, Apr 2022 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Paul was an amazing sitter and a pleasure to get to know. We had regular updates and he was caring and concerned with our more shy cats, even found a way to make sure they had extra food. Always asked questions and made us feel at ease that house and cats were just fine. Even the neighbours liked Paul. Paul as far as we are concerned was a super star
 
SANDRA (Keighley England, Aug 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Paul was a great house sitter :) communication was easy, and I knew Yoshi was in good hands whilst we were away. The garden and house were left in tip top shape and we'd happily have Paul come and stay again, thanks so much!
 
GARNET (Okehampton England, Jul 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
This was our first time using a house sitter and we are so glad we had Paul caring for our house and elderly,needy cat!Paul did an excellent job on all levels,our home.garden and pet were well cared for. Thank you Paul,Squeak is definitely missing you!! We would highly recommend Paul and will certainly hope that he can house sit for us again in the future.
 
FRANCIS (Chipping Campden England, May 2024 - 1 week)
Paul was excellent. We came back to happy cats & a very clean & tidy house. We would unhesitatingly recommend Paul.
 
ANTONY & CAROLE (Burwash Common England, Apr 2024 - 1 week)
Paul is a top sitter. We had good communication with him beforehand, and he did exactly everything that was asked of him. He came early to meet us and Elton, our cat, before the sit and turned out to be a very nice person. Paul kept in touch during his stay, left the house spotless, washed all the bedding, and left everything clean and in order when we got back. We would highly recommend Paul for any house sit. We hope that he will sit for us again!
 
RACHEL (Cowbridge Wales, Apr 2024 - 1 week)
Paul was kind enough to sit for us after fairly short notice and proved to be a kind and considerate sitter. Our cat has twice daily medication and is needy for lots of cuddles. Paul coped with this brilliantly and we came back to a content pet in a spotless house. We hope to be able to offer Paul further sits in the future. The only reason we did not give Paul a full house of 5 stars was because the only means of communication whilst we were away was through the Housesitters website. He ... MORE
 
MARION & RALPH (Cardiff , Mar 2024 - 6 nights)
Paul was really lovely with Gizmo, who got three walks a day while being with him, and Giz was very jolly and happy when we returned. We don't have any complaints at all about Paul's ability to connect with and care for animals, and were lucky to have him with Gizmo while we couldn't be. Would recommend to others.
 
HELEN (London England, Feb 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Paul was the perfect housesitter at my mother in laws looking after her cat. Rosie was well looked after and she enjoyed the company. The house was left spotless, and I had some really lovely conversations with him. Would highly recommended and hope we see you again if there's any more of the countryside left to explore!
 
JODIE (Blackawton England, Oct 2023 - 1 week 5 nights)
Paul was a fantastic house sitter, great at keeping in touch both before and during the sit, kept our old cat company (and managed to give him his medication), kept the garden watered and the house clean and tidy. It was also really good to meet Paul and share a meal with him the night before we left - a lovely man, highly recommended.
 
RICHARD (London England, Aug 2023 - 15 days)
Paul completed a house and farm sit for us for five weeks while we were away travelling in Europe. He was happy to look after our pigs, sheep, geese, chickens and goldfish, as well as maintaining the garden and repairing the fences when the naughty pigs knocked them over! Paul was friendly and trustworthy, and left our house spotless. He looked after all our animals brilliantly & gave us regular updates via email while we were away, so we could complete our travels with the peace of mind ... MORE
 
LUCY (Isle Of Skye Scotland, Jun 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Thank you Adam and Lucy for making me feel very welcome and for allowing me to housesit for you.
Paul was a great house sitter who left our house in immaculate order. He went over and above his “duties”, doing washing and ironing as well as looking after our garden, spending a long time watering! Very highly recommended.
 
SUE (Sparkford England, May 2023 - one week)
Paul was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He arrived the day before we left, took great care of our cats and birds, kept the house clean and tidy and even had milk in the fridge and dinner sorted for us after our 32 hour trip back from Australia. He kept in touch throughout the trip, both with us and our family in the local area. The cats took to him straight away, and they are a good judge of character! This was our first time using a house sitter and it was such a positive experience, we'd ... MORE
 
RHIONNA (Brora Scotland, Mar 2023 - 3 weeks)
We felt very comfortable leaving our house and pets in Paul's capable hands. We were able to speak to Paul before finalising the house-sit and had an enjoyable evening with him before we left the next morning. Paul left the house very clean and tidy and our dog and cat were very relaxed on our return. Would highly recommend Paul.
 
TERESA (Hay on Wye Wales, Nov 2022 - nine days)
Paul arrived promptly so I could get off to the airport, & even stayed until I arrived home again to make sure everything was ok before he left. He cared for Opal & the house & left everthing clean & tidy. I would recommend Paul as a caring cat & house sitter.
 
SHIRLEY (Hawick Scotland, Apr 2022 - two weeks)
It was such a pleasure to get to know Paul before and after his house sitting. He was extremely easy to deal with and we both understood each other's expectations and wishes which made for an easy handover to and from Paul. He looked after Bo the cat so well and we had such confidence with him staying in our home and looking after it. We think it was probably neater and cleaner when we arrived home! He is thoroughly recommended to all, however, we will certainly request to book him again so ... MORE
 
VICTORIA (Winchester England, Jul 2021 - Three weeks)
Paul was an excellent house and pet sitter for us whilst we were away. We had a meal with him before leaving and he was warm and friendly, reassuring us he would be great for the job. Communication was great whilst we were away and even though he had to take the cat to the vet he managed it all with no problem. House was as we left it and our cat was very happy to have had his company. We would have no hesitation in recommending Paul for house sitting! Thanks again Paul, Sue, Jamie, ... MORE
 
SUE (Dumfries Scotland, Jul 2021 - 1 week 3 days)
Sue, Jamie and the two boys were great company and made me feel very welcome. A lovely clean, spacious home with great amenities and walks nearby. I really enjoyed the cat- sit. Paul July 2021
Paul was a great housesitter who took excellent care of Yuko. He was communicative, on time, and the flat was utterly spotless when I returned. I've absolutely no reservations about recommending Paul for future housesitters. I'd gladly welcome him back to mine.
 
JESS (Cardiff Wales, Nov 2019 - 3 days)
No rating I would recommend Paul unconditionally as a house sitter and cat sitter and hope he might be available to help me out again in the future. He was kind, considerate and completely reliable. Also practical and pragmatic and left me feeling my home and cat were completely safe in his care.
