The dependable carer

Hi,
Please let me introduce myself. I am a mature and dependable woman. I enjoy traveling, reading, walking, yoga, meeting new people and exploring new places.
Pets have been part of my life forever and I enjoy their company. Following their daily needs, diet, medication, playing with them. Giving them the attention they like to receive. Tlc in general.
Since I have free time now, and do not need to keep to a schedule your pets will have lots of company.
Proactive in keeping your home clean and tidy, any issue taken care of asap.
Weekly email update.
I am calm, responsible and trustworthy, treating your home and pets with respect.
I am an non smoker, I enjoy a glass of wine periodically. I love to go on long walks and if I were accompanied by dog , now that would make it even more enjoyable.
I adore the company of cats, as they have their own individual personality.
Watering plants/flowers.
I would happily care for your home with responsibility and diligence.
I look forward to meeting you. Maura

A really wonderful sitter- so glad my sit worked out for everyone as are my kitties & so happy to have found lovely Maura. Cannot thank her enough for my recent sit.
This was a new area to Maura but she resourcefully found her way around and seemed to settle in with the girls really well. We exchanged a few messages to check in and everything was trouble.

Clearly theyd had a great time with Maura and shed taken great care of them & this had been a really successful sit. Would gladly welcome Maura back anytime xx

Maura was fantastic. It was the first time I have had anyone in to look after the cats, so I was slightly nervous. I met Maura in advance and she really put my mind to rest. When I came back, the cats were very happy and had clearly been well looked after. The house was also very clean which was much appreciated. Maura even gave me a small welcome home gift which was very generous of her. I would definitely use Maura again.
EMMA (London England, Oct 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Highly recommend Maura - a great cat sitter and a very nice person! Maura came over beforehand to see how everything worked with cat care and the house, and was highly reliable. I came back to a happy cat, a very clean house and thriving plants, as well as an unexpected gift and card. All round an excellent house/pet sitter!
ALEXA (London England, Sep 2024 - 1 week)
fab 1st time experience 🐶 🐱 🐱
6 weeks away & was a relief as to how at ease we felt . pets & house all perfectly looked after . 💯
Maura sat for me and took great care of Dave our Dog and Arlo my cat.
All was lovely when we returned and the pets seemed happy and cared for.
Unfortunately Maura does not use WhatsApp or I message so initially communication failed and caused a little concern on my part. (Signal where we live is poor). Once the issue was resolved all was well.
Maura clearly looked after our home and even left a nice gift. She is certainly reliable and trustworthy.
ALICE (Windsor/Eton England, Jul 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
It was our first time using a house sitter and what a great experience it was with Maura. Her communication was excellent. Her bubbly, friendly personality shone through but most importantly our cats were so relaxed and happy when we came back from our holiday that it was obvious to us that she had really taken good care of them and our home. We would definitely ask Maura to sit for us again in the future. I can’t recommend her enough.
GINA (Edenbridge England, Jun 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)

NICHOLAS (London England, Apr 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Maura is a wonderful house sitter. She was kind, reliable, and a clear communicator. She took excellent care of my cat, my plants and my flat. Everything was sparking clean when I arrived back home. Would very much recommend her to others.
SARAH (London England, Jan 2024 - 4 weeks)
Maura was a great sitter, she was communicative and flexible, taking good care of our cat while we were away. She kept us updated on the flat and it was sparkling clean when we arrived home. I highly recommend her!
Maura was so great. She put me at ease to leave our two cats with her after our first phone call and you could tell she was caring and authentic. We felt confident the cats and our flat were in good hands. We came home to two happy cats, a spotless flat and a lovely presents. We are gutted she has moved home and won't be able to do a repeat sit.
MARY (LONDON England, Nov 2022 - 1 week 5 days)
Maura, what a lovely, gentle and kind Sitter. She did an amazing job looking after our two cats, home and garden. Pets really happy as they at home and our house and garden in perfect order despite the extreme temperatures then.. Would highly recommend.
CHRIS (Colchester England, Aug 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
A great success for our first 'sit'. Maura was very professional throughout, kept us informed about the cats and the house was immaculate on our return. We hope to use her again soon.
ALISON (London England, Jun 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
Hi Alison,
That is fine, no need too and thank you. Will be back in Europe some time in February and will be in touch with you for March.
Happy Christmas.
Maura.
Maura.
Maura was such a fabulous sitter!
From the moment we spoke I knew she was super kind and caring. Our 16 year old chihuahua/terrier cross took to her immediately and had the best time while we were away. Our house was immaculate when we returned with everything taken care of.
We were so delighted with Maura's care that we asked her to come back for another house sit in September.
She is a truly special person and will be a friend for life for us.
KERRIE (Ramsgate England, May 2022 - 2 weeks)
Our first time with Housesitters and Maura gave us confidence in leaving our home and adored cat in her care. The hose was clean and tidy and our cat obviously very well -looked after and rather disgruntled that we had returned!
Maura kept in touch regularly and even gave us tips about our holiday plans in the US.
NICOLA (Windsor England, Feb 2022 - 3 weeks)
I am very glad that Maura looked after my apartment and my precious dogs. I know from communications that they got on very well and they loved her. The place was spick and span on my return and there was even a little thank you present to me. I would recommend Maura to anyone who needs a special, kind and caring house sitter
Maura is a delight. Calm, intelligent and thoughtful. Came home to a happy cat and fully relaxed knowing that everything had been in safe hands. Highly recommended and thank you Maura.
CLARE (London England, Jul 2021 - 1 week 2 days)

TIFFANY AND NICO (London England, Jun 2021 - 4 days)
Maura was an absolute gem and took care of our pregnant Luna - the house was intact and all the plants were happy :) would absolutely recommend her!
ANAIS (Haslemere England, Jun 2021 - 1 week 6 days)
Maura was a lovely house sitter. She looked after our young kittens so well, and the was returned beautifully cleaned. She even left us a small present to thank us for opening our house up to her, which was unnecessary, but very kind. I would highly recommend Maura to other members. Mark
MARK (Brighton England, Feb 2020 - 1 week)
Maura is a wonderful house sitter and highly recommended. She cared for our cat and our house to a very high standard, she is a real gem. When we came home the house was immaculate and our cat was a very happy fellow. We have already asked Maura to return and count her as a family friend. Fantastic lady!
SUE (King's Lynn England, Nov 2019 - 4 weeks)
Maura looked after our house garden and Freddie for over 2 weeks. We came home to a happy dog and clean house. We were able to keep in touch through email during our holiday and would highy recommend Maura as a house sitter we hope to meet her again
Maura was fab! Everything was super tidy when we got home after two weeks away and the cats weren't in the slightest bit bothered that we had come back! I guess they had such a nice time with Maura that they hadn't missed us!
I would definitely recommend Maura as a house sitter, 100% and wouldn't hesitate to have her to sit again for us if she was available.
LEAH (Hatton England, Jun 2019 - 2 weeks)

ZOE (Hambrook England, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 6 days)
Maura did a great job looking after my cat while I was away. She left the house clean and tidy and the cat relaxed and happy.
In fact Maura has cat-sat for me a second time, in June. Highly recommended.
JANE (Teddington England, Feb 2019 - 1 week)
Maura did a long sit for me over the winter in a rural area. She rose to the challenge of living here without a car when some may have changed their minds. Maura took very good care of my cat Murray and formed a happy relationship with him. She also took care of the house as her own. Maura is a lovely, positive, cheerful person who I would completely recommend for any house sit. Thank You Maura!
ELIZABETH (Neston England, Jan 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
Maura looked after our black cat Django at our Hove flat while we were away from 23rd Dec -29th Dec 2018.
Our cat took to Maura very quickly and was happy and healthy when we returned home
Maura was reliable, tidy and lovely and we would thoroughly recommend her as a pet/property sitter.
LAURA (Hove England, Dec 2018 - 6 days)
Green garden!
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
