The Person Behind the Service
"I’m Lou — a Dorset-based professional with a background in logistics, emergency response, and site management, now offering discreet house and property sitting services across the UK.
For years, I’ve run a specialist same-day courier company, trusted by high-security sectors including defence and aerospace. I’ve delivered critical components under pressure, handled last-minute emergencies, and worked within strict protocols where accuracy, documentation, and discretion are absolutely essential. I’ve been called out at all hours for grounded aircraft, MOD clearance jobs, and urgent deliveries — so staying calm under pressure, thinking on my feet, and working solo to a high standard comes naturally.
This experience translates directly into how I operate Emergency House Sitting UK.
When you need someone reliable on site — whether for a vacant probate property, ongoing building works, or a last-minute cancellation — I step in swiftly and professionally. No agency middlemen. No fuss. No drama. Just the job done properly."

What I Offer
I provide short or long-term house sitting and property supervision, including:
-
Emergency house sitting — when plans fall through and you need cover now
-
Probate property care — keeping the house secure and pets cared for while families make arrangements
-
On-site presence during building works — managing access, checking trades are on site, receiving deliveries, and reporting progress
-
Maintenance checks and issue flagging for unoccupied homes
-
Last-minute travel cover for clients needing trusted overnight support
Why Clients Choose Me
I’m fully insured, DBS-checked, and work independently — no agencies or subcontractors.
Client privacy is absolute. I never share your location or details, and discretion is central to everything I do.
With a background in high-security logistics, I understand urgency, reliability, and the importance of a trusted presence.
I treat each home with care and professionalism, always aware that I’m stepping into someone else’s space.
Raised on a working farm, and experienced with dogs, cats, and horses, I’m confident with both property and pets. Whether it’s live-in care, keyholding, or overseeing an unoccupied estate — I’ve done it, and done it well.
When the unexpected happens, I step in — quickly, calmly, and discreetly.
