45,

Hi there. I am a well travelled forty something independent woman currently living in a self converted yellow van so I am practical and versatile! The van life is due to having spent the last few years working with a Buddhist charity organising and running camping retreats over the summer season and doing kit maintenance over the winter.

I have done lots of housesitting for friends and by word of mouth (refs available) and have dealt with more than one winter boiler breakdown and roof leakage! I have also (by request) got stuck into the garden and even taken on a loft insulation, However mostly I take pride in making sure people come home to a well looked after, clean and tidy space. I consider it a great privilege to be trusted to care for someones home and do my upmost to live up to that trust.

If you have pets I am a vegetarian animal lover who will take very good care of them. I grew up with a dog of my own and still love to go for long walks with dogs for company. I have kept chickens, worked with horses, done lots of cat, rabbit, guinea pig cuddling and have even (not very successfully) milked goats.

I am especially interested in longer winter house sits as the exchange for me is particularly about being in a warm space for the colder months. However I have an extremely flexible lifestyle and it is always worth trying me at short notice and/or for shorter periods.

Also it is important for me to be able to park my van close by where I know it is safe (it is a mwb so generally fits in a car space)

Looking forward to meeting you!

Thank you so much to Beth for taking such amazing care of our Bengal cat Oslo and 5 chickens! You went above and beyond to help when Oslo had some constipation issues and also with making some needed repairs to our chicken coop. Our home was spotless when we came home and we also really appreciated you popping by ahead of the sit to pick up the keys etc. We would love to have you stay again if you so wished! Thank you

Absolutely amazing. We can't rate Beth highly enough. She stayed in our house caring for it, our two cats and tortoises (in hibernation), for 5 months. She coped with everything - even being snowed in - and we came home to a beautifully clean house (and cupboards!), front steps repaired, freshly made bed for us and very contented pets. She collected us from the station and left a 'red cross parcel' of food supplies. We got updates on our pets and mail that we'd requested while we were away. ... MORE

Beth is a wonderful sitter. She is so calm and capable and was very loving to our elderly cat. Unfortunately our house was subject to a week long power cut following a storm and it got very cold and difficult for Beth and Jack. I was so grateful that Beth had her van and her enormous resilience. She did a fantastic job of keeping Jack warm and cuddling by candlelight. We were very lucky to have found her.

Many apologies for late review! Although I never met Beth, in the communication I had with her, she seemed a lovely person! And the previous sitter, whose opinion I trust & who met her, also said she was lovely! Beth took over from another sitter, when I had to extend my stay away, so extra kudos to her! She was excellent in communicating and sending lots of vids and beautiful pics of Tosca! Tosca was very happy and healthy on my return, all seemed well & my flat was glowing clean! So I am ... MORE

Beth is the perfect house sitter. Practical, hardworking and very sympathetic and caring with our cats. We are convinced that Boris would happily have left with Beth at the end of the house sit. Throughout our time away we kept in contact via Whatsapp and she gave us regular updates which we found very reassuring. The house and gardens were maintained just as we would have wished and she even managed to repair a broken window. Our house is old and vulnerable and Beth provided us with the ... MORE

having beth house sit for us was an utter blessing. we had a very important journey to make to the US in the middle of 2020. our intention was to be away for 3 months. due to covid and unforseeable obstacles we were away for 6. every area of our life was in a state of uncertainty and. change but the one area where we had stability and calm was beth. she looked after our house and our cat tula with practical and loving attention. there were challenges at times and she handled them with strength ...

Beth was the perfect housesitter for us. We met her before we went away and from the moment she arrived, we knew everything would be fine under her care. She clearly loves animals and ours seemed very well looked after. The house was clean and tidy when we came home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and hope she may return to us for future house sits.
