My wife and I have recently retired and regularly look after friend's dogs when they go on holiday. We are looking for opportunities to visit places in the UK and abroad to house / animal sit. Elaine and I have been together for 22 years and recently got married in September 2024; we have 3 children between us who are all grown up allowing us the freedom to travel and meet new people / pets. Our main interests are walking, music and growing vegetables on our allotment. Looking forward to our retired life helping you to enjoy yours.

We couldn't be happier with the care Paul and Elaine provide for our dog, Dotty. We have left Dotty with Paul and Elaine on multiple occassions over the last 10 years and she is always so relaxed and happy when we drop her off, it's like a second home for her. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos too. Highly recommended—Dotty can’t wait to visit again!
