About Charley

We are two British backpackers who miss our pets back home very dearly but would love the opportunity to look after and care for your pets whilst you are away. We have plenty of experience looking after pets as we have always grown up with animals around us in our families homes and therefore we know what it takes to make them happy, felt loved, fed the correct diet and plenty of fun exercise. We have been house sitting in for 1 year now in Australia and now New Zealand. If this sounds like something you are looking for then we'd love to hear from you.

**We are new to Pawshake so we references from different pet sitting sites we use which we are happy to forward on to you.**

*** Please give us at least 2 weeks notice for sits***


We just love to care for animals and our love for them grows more and more after every sit. Grateful for each opportunity to enjoy pet company and a home to call our own for a period of time. With Charley also working from home and us wanting to save for our next travel adventure, this lifestyle suits us very well. 

We are house proud people and will respect your home like it's our own, keeping up to date with cleaning and maintenance required.


We have been pet sitting in Australia and New Zealand for the majority of our working holiday visa, caring for 7 cats, 11 dogs, 2 birds and fish. The dogs we have cared for have ranged from Great Danes and an American Bulldog to a little toy poodles. Outside of pet sitting, we also have experience helping with farm animal feeds for Ben auntie. Back home in the UK, we have grown up with animals in our homes since we were young, so we are both very experienced in taking the best care of furbabies, giving them lots of love, fun exercise and fed the correct diet. We also have experience with administering pets medication as we have looked after a Great Dane with cancer and a Shar Pei with toilet problems.

We offer home sits only and this is what you can expect from us:

  • We can stay in your home for the majority of the time we are sitting your animals with Ben working from home. We wouldn't be away from your pet for more than 3 hours.
    • We will keep your home secure, always locking the door whether we're inside or outside your home. Locking all windows and keeping an eye on the pets when out in the garden that they do t escape.

    • We are happy to sit up to 4 dogs or unlimited amount of cats. Furthermore we're happy with sitting a large number of birds, fish, hamsters, rabbits or chucks.

    • Our dog walks can range depending on the need of the dog as we pride ourselves in keeping your animals in the same routine.

    • We can offer 3 dog walks a day

      • We always create WhatsApp groups with our pet owners to keep in regular contact and provide daily pictures.
