Hi All, I’m Julie and currently live in Bath with my grown up daughter, our vizsla ‘Gravy’ and two cats, Seamew and Mary. We’re new to THS and haven’t hosted or done any sitting yet, but are counting down the days to when we can start! Having this forum is a great way to learn more about what to expect and the best ways to do it. Really enjoying reading everyone’s posts!
Welcome @julieb!
I absolutely love Bath, what a beautiful, historic place to live. You will love housesitting, it’s so much fun, a wonderful way to see the world and connect with interesting people and their pets.

Hi @Angela_L,
Really chuffed to be here and can’t wait to get started. Gravy our Vizsla is named after ‘Little Laughing Gravy’. My partner was a big Laurel & Hardy fan and Little Laughing Gravy was a dog that featured in one of their films. We always said that if we ever had a dog that’s what we would call it! Sadly my partner passed away a few years ago, but Gravy is a loving and loved member of our family and always here to lift our spirits and raise a smile. Not sure what I’d do without him!

Hi @Lindsay, I can’t wait to get started! Very much looking forward to meeting new friends (both 2 and 4 legged varieties! )
Bath is beautiful and it’s felt very strange during lockdown not to have the buzz of visitors, hopefully we won’t have to wait too much longer before we can all get travelling again.

Box is fantastic! On our last visit to Bath, we rented an Airbnb in Box for a couple of days, we loved it and really hope to get back there some day.

Hi @Debkay, I love Box and have a few friends who live there. It seems to have a really solid community spirit about the place. I grew up in Bradford on Avon so not far away at all. Lovely part of the world.
