Hello Everyone, My name is Kate and I live with my family in Marldon, and medium sized village in south Devon.
We are luck to have a lovely home with a lot of outside space, around 3 miles from the sea and a 20 minute drive from dartmoor.
We have two lovely working cocker dogs, 6 chickens and a lot of bees (who need no care from a sitter!).
Im new to the site, but will be looking for a sitters soon

Hi @katelissett and welcome to TrustedHousesitters and the forum.
You live in a wonderful part of the world, and your animals sound lovely. I have a soft spot for spaniels, especially cockers, and we love looking after chickens too. Bees sound fascinating. We came across a swarm in a tree when out on a walk during lockdown. We did a bit of research afterwards to find out more about why and how this happens, so it turned out to be quite educational for my sons!
@katelissett, welcome to the forum and to the family of sitters and owners here at THS. You’re going to love it! I love when I hear how close folks live to the ocean as I am such a beach/sand/ocean person. I can’t get enough of it!
I would love to hear more about your working cockers. They are beautiful dogs and so loving as well!

Hello Kate and welcome! Your sit sounds wonderful and I would to do it one day (I spend a lot of time in the UK and adore Devon). I had a loved cocker for 15 years, have sat for chickens many many times, and I actually have some experience with bees!
Good luck with THS. Perhaps our paths will cross…
