About us

You’ll be sharing this spacious three-bedroom house with me (Clover) and our three friendly cats most of the time, and with my husband Ivo occasionally.

I work in art and rent a studio nearby, using the garage at home as a secondary workspace. My hours are usually mornings and evenings, with a long afternoon break at home. Running my own studio means I often reply to emails or deal with work outside normal hours. In my downtime you’ll usually find me at my allotment growing vegetables and flowers, walking in the Surrey Hills, or visiting exhibitions around London.

Ivo works for a foreign financial regulator and spends most of his time overseas. When he is home, he loves forest walks, cooking (he’s very good!), sports, and cosy movie nights.

Our cats — Simba, Oscar, and Millie — are the real owners of the house. Simba and Oscar have been with us since they were kittens and are confident and sociable. Millie is a rescue who is shy at first, but incredibly affectionate once she trusts you, especially in her favourite upstairs spots. If you win their hearts, they’ll happily nap on your lap or quietly sneak into your room to keep you company.

As we’ll be away at times, we’re ideally looking for someone who genuinely loves cats. For someone experienced and comfortable with looking after them when I’m travelling, we’re open to offering a reduced rent.
