Pets are welcome

36, Writer/designer

Hi there. I'm a designer and writer, and I love animals to keep me company while I'm at my desk! In the last five years I've completed house-sits in Derbyshire, Northampton, Leicester, London and Hertfordshire from 5 days to 6 weeks looking after a variety of lovely dogs and cats. I really love looking after the animals and feel I have made some friends for life.

I'm a responsible, tidy and quiet house sitter. I thrive on a good routine and an orderly space. I have my own car that I'd be using for transport. I'm based in Northamptonshire so the surrounding counties, and London are my ideal places to sit.

I previously worked as a dog-sitter for 2 years through Dog Buddy for stays of up to 2 weeks including overnight. I received multiple five star reviews and repeat bookers during this time.

Being a small person, I'd currently prefer to look after maximum 1 dog. I am suitable for sits for pets that would like some play time and attention everyday.

I typically spend a large portion of the day at the property. I sell stationery over Etsy, so as long as I have my laptop, reliable wifi and a postbox, I can work! I like to go to a local gym a few times a week, and church on Sundays.

If I can be a good fit for your sit, get in touch!

Geraldine was a brilliant house/cat sitter. When we arrived home it was just like how we left it, clean and tidy almost like she hadn't been there. Bedding and towels washed etc which i was really appreciative of. Geraldine took great care of pebbles, and was very thorough pre the sit asking lots of questions and seeking all the right information. unfortunately our cat was poorly whilst i was aware and Geraldine took her to the vets and gave her the medication she was prescribed daily, ...

This was second Geraldine’s stay at our place. We were delighted that she was available to look after our cat again, who is very content in her company. Geraldine is quick to respond and kept us updated with photos. We returned back to a very happy and relaxed cat, and the house was in an excellent condition. Geraldine is wonderful and we would highly recommend her.

This was our first time using the Housesitter UK service, so we were not sure what to expect. Geraldine applied to perform the service for us and the overall experience was just outstanding. From early meeting before the house sit and then on the greeting start day, all went really smoothly. The house was exceptionally well looked after. Immaculate is a word best described. Geraldine is a professional at this service and we were very lucky to have the honor of her services to look after the ... MORE

Geraldine is a really nice young lady who Bailey took to pretty much straight away. She kept in contact with me throughout and left my flat looking clean and tidy. Even though Bailey gave me a royal telling off for going away he was happy and content upon my return and I would definitely recommend Geraldine and would be confident to leave my home and fur baby in her capable hands again in the future.
 
PIROSKA (London England, Apr 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
We were very happy that Geraldine agreed to look after our cat. From the first communication it was clear that Geraldine is very professional and thorough. We were confident that our cat would be in the best hands. Geraldine is trustworthy and reliable. She looked after our cat very well – including some unplanned vets trips; and always kept us informed with pictures and messages. She left the house spotless, although I did not expect or ask for any house work; nevertheless this was much ... MORE

Geraldine is a great find and looked after our dog Juno, beautifully, sending us short pet videos, updates and photos throughout our holiday. Geraldine is thorough and attentive and we felt that our house was in safe hands. We were looking for someone that would be home-based for our old gal and Geraldine fitted the bill spot on. It's obvious that Geraldine knows a thing or two about dogs and cares for them a lot.
 
DAWN (Shrewsbury , May 2022 - 3 weeks)
Geraldine is well organised and communicates well to ensure all aspects of a successful sit are covered. She did a great job of looking after Polly and our home and we recommend her unreservedly
 
MARY ANNE (Metheringham , Jan 2022 - 9 days)
Geraldine was very thorough in her approach, making sure she has all details covered for the stay. She took amazing care of our pets and home and would thoroughly recommend her to people on here and would also have her stay again. Amazing, thank you Geraldine x x
 
MATT (Melton Mowbray England, Oct 2021 - 1 week)
Geraldine was a very safe pair of hands looking after our house and cat. She was so calm and professional when we had a couple of issues with the house over the weekend (why do things always go wrong when you're away?!). Would not hesitate in recommending her as a house and pet sitter.
