The Location

This beautiful home and estate is set amongst the most stunning 100 botanical garden and farming land, in Shropshire, United Kingdom.

Shropshire is a spectacular county of rolling hills and rich farmland set in the West Midlands of England, bordering Powys and Wrexham in Wales to the west and north-west, Cheshire to the north, Staffordshire to the east, Worcestershire to the south-east and Herefordshire to the south.

Here’s what the owners had to say about their experience:

When I was looking for a house sitter I read one of Anthony's reviews and it said that if you had an opportunity to have Anthony house sit for you - do not hesitate!

I cannot reiterate that more strongly - he was fantastic!

Although I have had house sitters in the past , this was my first experience of trusted house sitters and it was very successful.

The dogs were so happy with him and he took them for long walks.

One of them had broken her paw and her leg was in plaster and he took her to the vet and gave me updates on her progress.

He brushed them and gave them a bath and when I arrived back they sat at his feet and clearly adored him.

He also looked after my two horses and made sure they had everything they needed.

During his stay the ceiling in one of the rooms was leaking and he contacted the plumber and made sure that the leaks were mended before we came back.

There was trouble with the internet and he made sure this was fixed. He kept us informed at all times but I always felt he was in the control of the situation and there was no need for me to worry.

When we returned , we came back to an immaculate house. He had mowed the lawn, washed the car he had used, in and out, watered the plants and house was filled with flowers.He also made a wonderful video of the garden.

We were lucky enough to have him stay on for a couple of days which gave us an opportunity to get to know him better.

I cannot recommend Anthony highly enough and I would love to have him back in the future.

Some of my favourite photos:

I was living in Rural Hertfordshire, 6 miles from Hertford and 4 miles from Ware and a short drive to historical Cambridge. The focus of attention was a handsome, incredibly well natured, twelve year old  Fox Terrier (come soccer player) , named ” Charlie”.  Add to this a stunning beautiful country estate with acres of beautifully manincured botanical  garden amongst the woods.  Throw in  two attention seeking cats “Purdie” and “Meowsa” along with five Guinea fowl to look after and you have a wonderful and very peaceful house sitting experience.

The owners were away relaxing in a sunny Greek Island for a well deserves break, however, I am convinced that my assignment may have been more tranquil and relaxing than their holiday.

Simply fabulous!!!

Here’s what the owners had to say ….

Our first ever Trusted House Sitter, and what a lovely experience.

From the first time Anthony contacted us to offer a sit, I felt comfortable with him.

As soon as I read his reviews I knew he was like gold dust, so confirmed immediately.

His communication with us was first class from start to finish, and he is a very kind and unassuming man.

We returned to find our animals happy in his company and the house was cleaner than we left it.

I would highly recommend Anthony as a sitter, with the bonus of him being a professional photographer who takes wonderful photos of your animals. We plan to frame some of the photos he took of our dog Charlie playing football!

He is a very conscientious and is a professional sitter.

Many thanks to you Anthony, and I hope we meet up with you again one day, either in Australia or UK.

A Photographer’s Paradise

l am  discovering a sparkling natural wonderland: the Hohe Tauern National Park together with “MARTA: the most affectionate, but energetic young Viszler who simply loves going for long walks along some of the many mountain ski trails.

Marta  also loves company and her second favourite thing to do is snuggling up for a cuddle and likes lots of affection.

Here’s what the Owners Had to Say….

This house sit was Anthony's second with us, and to say we were delighted when he responded to our request is an understatement.

Anthony is the ideal sitter; friendly, organised, reliable, a dog lover, and very enthusiastic about the win-win situation for home and pet owners and sitters alike.

Our dog loves him and he gives her fantastic care and attention and treats our home and car with respect, what more do you want?

He also cut the grass, washed the car, prepared lunch for our return and had flowers on the table.

He is a star. If he responds to your request for a sitter, accept him without delay!

For this assignment I am living in a beautiful character thatched 400 year old farmhouse complete with a wonderful menagerie.

This includes two beautiful cats, a fabulously adorable Greyhound “Morticia” who is affectionatly referred to as “Tisha”…

Now there’s also 10 Hens,  Kenny the Cockeral and wait for it…. to complete the enterage we have a Tortoise and even a pet Python snake.  Yes, you read correctly… a Python who’s name is “Trinket”.

All in all, one very happy family and little wonder as this is one very beautiful farmhouse in the most picturesque locations.

The only thing more picturesque than the farmhouse is it’s beautiful country garden and the magnificent country walks available on your doorstep.  Yes, miles of spectacularly colourful undulating countryside…. a photographers paradise!!

What the Owner Had to Say ….

Anthony was completely fabulous. Totally unfazed by the menagerie or our idiosyncratic 400 year old house.

All my animals adored him from the minute he walked through the door, including a normally very shy cat.

He took his role really seriously, was totally diligent, left the house immaculate with food in the fridge and flowers to come home too, and kept in touch while we were away.

What more could you ask for?

Would have him back like a shot,

thanks Anthony.

Blandford Forum

Edinburgh is a cohesive reflection of Scotland’s breathtaking rural landscape, flaunting cultural vibrancy, historic charm, and scenic wonder. To spend a week or two house sitting here has been another fabulous experience.

My new home for ten days here is a beautiful Edwardian semi detached house with a fantastic garden in Blacket (Newington), in South East Edinburgh.  It is very near Arthur’s seat, Holyrood and still within walking distance of the famed castle.  Close by is also the Royal Commonwealth Pool and the University of Edinburgh.

The owners love animals, nature, and
traveling and this is obvious by their request   for me to hose sit and look after Tara and Leo, two extremely affectionate cats that the owners adopted from a rescue centre at the beginning of August 2016.

Here’s what the owners said…

Professional Housesitter. We felt lucky of having him in charge of Tara and Leo, our cats.

Clontarf is in the Moreton Bay region, south-west of the Redcliffe peninsula and approximately 29 kilometres (18 miles) north-northeast of Brisbane, the Queensland capital.

My assignment for Dianne and Lloyd meant the pleasure of looking after two beautifully boisterous but very loving dogs, Sampson, a Labrador retriever – aged 13 and Sherlock, the funniest Labradoodle – aged 10

They both get very excited about their walks and would often pull on the lead… however they both took to a little training really well during my time with them and were very well behaved and mostly obedient.
