Beverley

Hello! My name is Beverley Dodd, and I am an active pensioner (semi-retired) and love being outside and having easy walking access to the hills, trails and the sounds. I also enjoy regular table tennis, line dancing and meditation. Currently employed as a part- time Massage Therapist, having over 30 years of experience in a caring and health-focused role. Prior to that, I served in the British Royal Air Force for more than 11 years, stationed across the UK and Europe. These experiences have shaped me into a disciplined, responsible, and compassionate individual who thrives in roles that involve helping others extending to animals like dogs and cats which at the moment is only through friends pets. Therapies including massage and looking after my physical well being are a passion and life long interest.

As I transition toward full retirement, I’m eager to explore more of the country while providing peace of mind to homeowners. House sitting offers the perfect combination of adventure and purpose—allowing me to discover new areas while helping families care for their homes and beloved pets.

I have a deep love for dogs and a long history of caring for them. I’ve looked after and cared for three wonderful family dogs in the past, Mickey being the first when I was 10 years old. Scamp came into our family after being taken away from an abusive owner. Duke joined our family when my children were at school and wanted a pet. I sorely miss the joy and companionship they bring.

My house-sitting experience includes looking after friends homes and their pets, started whilst in the Airforce while they travelled, and continued intermittently since, also providing ongoing support for a neighbor and their dog during a time of illness. In each case, I ensured the pets were happy, well-exercised, and loved, while maintaining their homes with care and attention to detail.

As your house sitter, you can expect meticulous care for your home and pets. I’m clean, tidy, and respectful—a trait honed not only through my personal habits but also strict cleaning expectations as part of the training in the British Services and various employments in hospitality and as a carer between massage therapy roles.
Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own, with plenty of affection, exercise, and attention to their needs. I particularly enjoy walking and exploring, making it a joy to take dogs out for adventures.

I am reliable, trustworthy, and communicative, ensuring that you stay updated and reassured throughout your time away. My goal is to provide you with total peace of mind, knowing your home and pets are in capable, loving hands.
Thank you for considering me as your house sitter. I would be delighted to answer any further questions you might have and look forward to the opportunity to help care for your home and furry family members.
