Hello, my name is Barrie.
I am a friendly approachable guy who loves animals and all their quirky habits. I truly feel privileged to have met so many amazing, and funny animals, that often leave me crying with laughter.
House Management and pet sitting utilises all my attributes gained through my working life, such as; being organised ,active, practical, Security conscious, patient, reliable and good in an emergency.
I previously ran a successful roofing company working mainly for The Grosvenor Estates in Belgravia, London, and later working as a Tree surgeon and Landscape Gardener in Oxfordshire. Then, along with Zoe transitioned into property renovation and management. This entailed completely remodelling and renovating properties to a high standard, and managing the rental of the properties there after.
Aside from house sitting I am the building Manager of a prominent Grade II Listed Georgian block of apartments in Blackheath, London, carrying out all of the maintenance, gardening and cleaning. Having managed holiday complexes in the past, you can rest assured that we can handle any problem that may arise!

Hi, my name is Zoe,
I love house management, and enjoy the responsibility of keeping your homes safe and your pets healthy and happy.
Having a genuine affection and interest in animals, Spending time and caring for animals is so rewarding; earning their trust and affection, and seeing them enjoy activities. I have vast experience with rescue animals having worked at many rescue centres with dogs, cats, horses, goats, sheep and birds. Working at London Zoo gave me experience with more exotic creatures; from snakes and tarantulas to camels and Giraffes. My home has been home to many rescue dogs over the years. We lost our last doggie Katie at 17, she had epilepsy and arthritis, hence my acute understanding of the needs of an older pet that may have mobility issues or need regular medication.
Having achieved a degree in Microbiology and a postdoctoral research post in Biochemistry at Kings college Hospital, attributed me with meticulousness and good organisational skills which I transfer to keeping your home in good order whilst you are away.
I have recently acquired diploma's in Nutritional Therapy and Sports Therapy, and currently studying multiple animal courses. If required I can offer advise on diet for medicinal purposes for you or your pet.
