I was a professional pet sitter, (not live in), and dog walker for 10 years in Maidenhead, which I absolutely loved and I still miss the furry friends that I saw on a regular basis.
Before that I wrote technical software. For 19 years I worked in a cancer research lab., and before that was freelance and worked in numerous locations.
We retired to the Isle of Wight four years ago bringing with us three elderly, (18+). They have since died and we have adopted rescue cat, Whisper, who is 12.
Discovering Trusted Housesitters has been a revelation. It means we are free to travel with peace of mind and not feel beholden to our lovely neighbours.
