Caring, capable ex-farmer handyman
About
I am an honest, reliable, and flexible house sitter with my own transport and a genuine love of caring for homes and animals. Whether you have dogs, cats, livestock, birds, or more unusual pets, I’m happy to provide attentive care and keep your routines running smoothly while you’re away.
I come equipped with tools, practical skills, and a can-do attitude. I enjoy keeping busy, so if there are odd jobs, maintenance tasks, gardening, or projects you’d like done while you’re away, just let me know and I’ll do my best to help.
I take pride in treating every home with the same care and respect I would my own. You can travel with confidence knowing your pets, property, and peace of mind are in safe hands.

Your house and pets will be in excellent hands with Rob. He looked after our home and dog and cat while we were away for five weeks and we couldn’t be happier. Rob leaves a very light footprint and leaves the house tidier than he found it. He also stayed in touch during his stay and sent through photos of our pets. He clearly loves animals and ours were very well looked after.
