Tom & Nicky

Hi there, we're Nicky and Tom and we'd love to look after your home and give your pets some love while you're away :-)

We returned to the UK last year after living and travelling abroad for 15 years and found house and pet sitting a terrific way to reacquaint ourselves with Blighty. We had a lot of fun and met some beautiful animals along the way (lots of cats and dogs and the occasional aquarium too!), so we're keen to do more this year. We've received glowing reviews on House Sitters UK and Trusted House Sitters and we're happy to organise referrals directly from previous hosts for your peace of mind. We are also happy to provide Air BnB reviews from our travels if you wish.

It's a treat to have a website like this because we're pretty nomadic in our professional lives and can't have a pet of our own at the moment. Our work in the film industry is freelance, which means we often have to travel around the UK and sometimes abroad, so it's really nice to stop when we can and enjoy a comfortable home with the company of animals until the next adventure. We're both keen green thumbs and Nicky is a true plant whisperer, so we relish the chance to tend a garden, nurture house plants and look after your veggies.

We have immaculate rental history and would be happy to provide references to demonstrate this. We're fastidiously clean and tidy and home is a sanctuary. We're early risers, ideal for morning walks and feeding. We're passionate about cooking, which goes hand in hand with our passion for travel and exploring new neighbourhoods. Between us we're also right into hiking, digging through record shops, live music, film making and cinema, photography, reading (obsessed with Oxfam secondhand bookshops!), vintage motorcycles, painting and gardening.

Over the years we've often found ourselves as pet sitters simply through word of mouth between friends and family who want to go away but aren't keen on kennels. We've also been regular cat sitters for months at a time while friends of ours tour with Cirque de Soleil and for Nicky's brother whose Burmese cats need some love when he goes abroad for work.

In summary:

- Non-smokers
- Very clean, tidy and house proud - we run a tight ship!
- We have our own vehicle
- Happy to chat via this website but also video and phone call
- Reviews and referrals available upon request

All the best, Nicky and Tom :-)
