Experienced House & Pet Sitters

We’re Charlie and Luke, house and pet sitters with more than five years experience. We’ll look after your home and pets whilst you’re away and we promise we’ll care for them as well as you do.

We’re based in Brighton, UK and have been travelling together for over 10 years after meeting at university in Exeter. We house sit internationally and love to travel. We’ve looked after homes and pets in the UK, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.

How We Work

We both work in online marketing full-time. Our job is location-independent, so we can work anywhere in the world, provided that we have reliable internet access.

We work from our house sits, which means we’ll be with your pets and looking after your home all day. We love to go out for walks in our breaks, so it’s perfect if you have a dog! We have mostly flexible working hours so are able to manage looking after pets as and when needed.

Your Home & Pets in Safe Hands

Enjoy your time away knowing your home and pets are well-cared for. We know how much your home and pets mean to you, and we’ll keep you updated as often as you like.

We love animals (yes, both cats and dogs!) and are always excited by the opportunity to spend time furry friends.

Here are some of the lovely reviews and references from the wonderful people we’ve had the pleasure of house sitting and pet sitting for.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of all the animals. We really appreciate your time and care.

My animals loved Charlie and Luke. I left for my trip with a real good feeling and confident that things would go well. They are great when it comes to communication and handled unexpected situations very well and professionally. My animals were happy and healthy when I came back, and we were sad to see them leave. Catch them if you can!

Charlie and Luke were excellent, organised and caring house and pet sitters. They looked after my two birds, Lily, a cockatiel and Louis, a Senegal parrot, whilst I was away. The birds took to them really well and they kept the flat clean and tidy. I was very pleased and I would definitely have them back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do short or long term house sits?

We do both! We are interested in hearing about any house sits, both long and short term ones. Depending on our location and availability we can let you know whether it’s possible for us to house or pet sit for you. We prefer house sits to be a minimum of 7 days.

Will there be a handover period?

This is entirely up to you, but we like to have a day before the house sit or at least a few hours of crossover, so that you can get to know us. It also helps us to make sure we can take care of your home and pets exactly how you want us to. We’ll always make some notes so that we don’t forget anything!

Do you smoke?

No, we are both non-smokers.

Do you drive?

Yes, we both have a full, clean UK driver’s license. We also lived in Taiwan for a year and are used to driving scooters on Asian roads!
