Travellers back in the UK temporarily

56, Civil Engineer

52, Project Manager

We believe in “one life, live it” and we quit our full time jobs in 2022 to go travelling across North America in our overland vehicle leaving behind our three adult children in the UK.
The last year has been truly wonderful, but two of our children graduated university in 2023 and so we have returned home for a few months. Unfortunately, a visit to the GP didn’t go well for Dan and so we stayed in the UK for a bit longer than we had anticipated.
Before heading off in our overland vehicle, we put our furniture into storage and rented out our house, so while we were back in the UK last year, we stayed with family, friends and did several house sits up and down the country - which we have absolutely loved.
To get a better feel of us, check out our travels on YouTube or Facebook under “Dolly’s Diary”. Please just contact us for details if you can’t find it.
We have both had cats since childhood and Geraldine grew up with dogs. Dan is an Engineer so usually fixes any of those household problems like blocked drains or dripping taps that arise from time to time.
We are non-smokers and try to have the lightest of footprints in your home while we are there.
We are returning to the UK in April 2025 and really fancy doing some more house sits this year.

Dan & Geraldine are utterly perfect! They had 7 cats to look after and did so to a very high standard - the house was clean and tidy, bedding had been washed, the lawn mowed....and we had very happy cats on our return. They kept us updated on them (as we miss them so), so felt completely relaxed while we were away. We cannot thank them enough for what they have done, and we will be keeping in touch with them for sure. Absolute gems of people. xxx

Dan and Gerlandine were absolutely brilliant house-sitters - I couldn't have asked for better!! They were so attentive to Kubu's interests and needs, especially his medication routine. They stayed in regular contact and updates with videos and pictures. I could tell our Kubu enjoyed their company thoroughly. They are a such a lovely couple who are kind, thoughtful and reliable - I would highly recommend them and would gladly welcome them back to housesit for me again in the future! :)

Second time sitters for us - excellent as always! Thank you so much for looking after the house and beasts so well - even managing to deal with one naughty cat! See you both very soon x

Phenomenal ! Everything was immaculate in the house and the animals were cared for far beyond expectations. Genuine, trustworthy and kind couple who truly care

Dan & Geraldine were in one word Fantastic! Communications in the run up to and during the house sit were great - we got daily updates and photos and it was clear our cat Nala immediately warmed to them. They left the house spotless and our cat happy and content and we would absolutely recommend them to take care of your pet and home. Thanks again Dan & Geraldine!
 
ANNE (Edinburgh Scotland, Jul 2024 - 1 week)
Dan & Geraldine were our perfect house and pet sitters. Lovely people, caring & kind to our animals. I had been treating Bob (one of our hens) for a couple of weeks before they arrived as she had a bad toe. I had hoped it would heal before they arrived but it was not fully better. Dan & Geraldine asked me to show them what to do and they were happy to continue with applying the treatment and re-wrapping the foot. When we arrived home Bob’s toe had healed beautifully. The pets were all ... MORE
 
ROSE (Chippenham England, Jun 2024 - 2 weeks 5 nights)
As it was our first time having house sitters we were a bit apprehensive but from our first contact Dan and Geraldine put our minds at ease. They could not have been more helpful leading up to the sit. They arrived on time and listened intently as we explained our requirements with regards garden plants and the likes/dislikes of our 19 year old cat Leyla. They asked how much contact we would like. From day one they communicated regularly, sending really great videos of Leyla and themselves. ... MORE

We’d give more stars if we could! Dan and Geraldine are just brilliant, they looked after our cat , sheep and our home. They were regularly in contact, very proactive, caring and thoughtful, we felt very reassured having them there. We returned home after a long journey to dinner in the fridge, and an immaculate house and more. We couldn’t possibly recommend them highly enough Thanks D & G x
 
RACHEL (Bromyard England, Apr 2024 - 4 weeks)
Geraldine and Dan could not have been better Sitters. The communication was excellent with videos on a daily basis. I knew the dogs were being well looked after, and cared for as well with plenty of walks and playtimes. The house was spotless on my return. Gold star Sitters! 🥰
 
THERESA (Storrington England, Feb 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Dan and Geraldine, well what can we say. To be honest words fail to adequately express the trust and friendship we formed with this kind caring couple. We were lucky enough to have Dan and Geraldine visit one afternoon, prior to the sit. An instant bond was formed and we knew we’d found a special couple. During the sit our 2 elderly cats were safe and spoiled. Administering medication was carried out exactly as prescribed. We were updated frequently with messages and fun photos of festive ... MORE
 
BRENDA (Elderslie Scotland, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 4 nights)
I was so blessed to meet Dan and Geraldine who were an absolutely amazing couple from the first contact. We communicated well to sort out mutual arrangements and they kept me posted regularly with updates throughout their stay. Leo felt safe and secure with them, and it was lovely to see him feel settled and comfortable with them, as he is a shy cat! They kept the house tidy and Dan even volunteered to do some odd jobs. I’ m sure we’ll keep in touch and I would welcome them back anytime to ... MORE
 
RICHA (Preston England, Nov 2023 - 2 weeks)
This was only the second time we have had cat sitters in our home and any Dan and Geraldine were really wonderful with our three cats, and attentive to their needs. They asked really good questions early on and seemed to understand the different cats and their quirks. There was great communication throughout our trip, regular updates often with photos of the cats and they left the house very clean and tidy. We really had no concerns at all with them being in our home and we would recommend them ... MORE
 
ISLA (Winchester England, Aug 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
Dan and Geraldine are great house sitters, easy to get along with and take it seriosly. We came home to a tidy house and our cats were so chilled out, I think they fell in love with them. Hoping they may return another time. 100% recommend.
 
SHEENA (Sudbury England, Jul 2023 - 4 nights)
Even though new to the game, Dan and Geraldine are the most perfect housesitters! So enthusiastic & ready to make the most of their stay. We received regular communication throughout our absence, so we knew all was well and Luca was thoroughly enjoying having lots of love and attention. On our return our home was clean and tidy, with all their linen and towels laundered.. Wonderful! The garden had been expertly tended to and was in such great shape..more so than when we left!! All in all ... MORE
