We are Steph and Allen, 

active members of Trusted Housesitters (THS). Joining THS in 2019 was one of the best things we’ve ever done. We love animals, we love travel and we are house trained!

2024 has been an exciting year. We have house and pet sat in USA, Turkey, France, UAE, Denmark, Ireland, Orkney, and are spending the festive season on the historic Isle of Wight, in a beautiful house, with a charming, laid back senior cat called Mouse. Both the home and views are stunning.

We are delighted that for the first six months of 2025, we will be living on Easdale island, Oban. Scotland is our spiritual home and Easdale Island our Heaven. So it really is a dream come true.

We have confirmed sits in the South of France and Malta (another bucket list destination) later in the year, so in the main we will be looking for  sits in Manchester and Chester so that we can visit family. 

A fantastic year ahead.

Testimonial

A review we received on cottages.com following our months holiday at The Old Brewery Cottage, Seil Island, Ellenabeich, Scotland.

“This is the longest let we have had at the cottage and we are grateful to have had visitors that were respectful of the property and appreciative of the area. It was a true pleasure to meet these lovely visitors. My initial worries about them not having their own transport was utterly unfounded as they got stuck into island life and used local bus services to explore further afield. Thank you so much for your kind words Stephanie and for your fantastic review, I am already looking forward to welcoming you back next year!” (Kirsty The Old Brewery Cottage, Ellenabeich)
