Awesome Sitter

73, Previous Companion Driver for Driving Miss Daisy service

Retiree

Reliable, responsible, honest, experienced, fun loving, energetic, tidy and caring 73 year old who loves looking after other people's pets and enjoys house sitting experiences. Now that I'm retired from paid work, I'm available for more housesits and would appreciate a contribution to fuel costs during housesits. References available upon request. I am up-to-date with Covid boosters.

Joan sat for us for the month of April. She did an amazing job of looking after our nervous Alfie and provided updates and photos. We returned to a calm happy cat and a spotless house! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joan to sit again and have booked her in for our next trip away!

Thanks so much for the opportunity to house/cat sit, and your glowing review. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Alfie and am looking forward to the next time.
Joan was absolutely amazing! Our home and animals were well taken care of and Joan would communicate sending pics of our furbabies while we were away. We highly recommend Joan - she has been a dream; hassle free, honest and will 100% refer to Joan in the near future if need be. Thank you so much Joan - we appreciate you so much :)

Thanks for posting your kind words of recommendation. Warm regards, Joan.
Joan is a friendly, warm, communicative and reliable person. She came to visit the house and our cat three times before our trip and was so receptive and lovely. Unfortunately we had Covid in the household on the day of our trip and so we ended up having to cancel the housesitting but she returned our key quickly and the communication was great during the entire period.

Thank you, Meg, for the great review.
Joan was a fantastic house/pet sitter. She was always friendly in her communication and getting everything arranged was very efficient and simple. While I was away she kept me updated and sent pictures of my cat so that I could see how he was getting on. When I got back the house was clean and tidy and she'd even repaired a missing button on my duvet! The cat was clearly very contented and well looked after. All in all I'd heartily recommend Joan to anyone looking for a house sitter. Thank ... MORE

Joan was Amazing with a capital A! This is the first time we've had someone house sit for us and I couldn't have been happier or more reassured by Joan's communication or treatment of the house and cats. We even landed a new addition 12 week old kitten on her with a week's notice and she took it all in her stride! I wouldn't hesitate to ask Joan to return for future trips, or recommend her to anybody looking for a wonderful housesitter. Thank you again Joan :)

Thanks so much, Lauren.
Joan has been a excellent house/pet sitter. My little Gus was very happy when I returned home. My apartment was lovely and tidy, Joan was great to communicate with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. I've already booked her for another sit. I can't thank her enough. It's my first time using this site, and it's been a really positive experience. Thank you Joan
