Fran & Ryan

32, Paediatric Physiotherapist

33, Teacher

Hi there! We are Fran (32) and Ryan (33). We are both from Bristol (in the U.K) and we have been together for over 13 years now.

We are clean, tidy and organised people, but we also love to have fun and to be outdoors. We enjoy paddle boarding, cycling and long walks, as well as relaxing at home - cooking meals, reading books and watching tv.

We love animals of all kinds, especially cats and dogs, and have become the go-to people for many of our friends, family and colleagues when they need someone to care for their beloved animals.

We take house/pet sitting seriously, as we appreciate that it is your home and safe space that we are entering, as well as your much-loved pets that we are taking care of.

Fran:
I am a Physiotherapist at our local children’s hospital. I am caring, patient and I enjoy being active. Over the last few years, I have looked after many of my colleagues’ animals while they have been away, including cats, dogs, sheep and even alpaca!

I have always received positive feedback on how happy and well their pets are afterwards, as well as how clean their houses are.

Ryan:
I am a teacher for students with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) and I take great pride in being able to offer them support, encouragement and positive opportunities.

I love the outdoors and, at the time of writing this, have almost completed walking the South West Coast Path (England) which is 630 miles long! I have been doing this with my friend Isaac and his dog, Olive.

I have grown up and always been around animals, especially cats and dogs, but rabbits, hamsters, rats, birds, fish and horses too. I have been involved with walking them, feeding them, training them and helping to care for them when they have unwell. I love spending time around animals and I look forward to spending time with some more in the future.

Fran and Ryan were an absolute delight throughout the process, and I would use them to house-sit again without hesitation. Their communication was professional and friendly, and they were always quick to respond. The house was left in immaculate condition, and most importantly, they provided regular and detailed updates on the welfare of our beloved pets, a cat and a dog. More than the practical information shared about their care, the genuine warmth and strong bond that developed over the ... MORE

Fran and Ryan were brilliant house sitters while we had a family holiday away. Our dog was regularly walked and was looked after so well, as were our cats. We loved the updates and photos that they sent us. We arrived home to a very clean and tidy house. We would highly recommend them to others.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
