We have spent the last 6 years house sitting full time in Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Ireland, England and Switzerland, looking after a variety of city and rural properties, and pets both large and small. With grandchildren and family around the world, house sitting has enabled us to make extended visits and spend quality time with them, and also to travel to interesting places when time allows.
Retired New Zealanders, we are clean, tidy, non smokers, fit and healthy, and are house owners ourselves.
Hobbies have included breeding and showing birds, owning cats, dogs and fish. Kevin walks most days to keep fit, so your dog would be a welcome companion. We have experience caring for older pets which need special care and gentle handling. Lois has green fingers so your plants and garden will be in good hands.
Keen sailors, we will keep an experienced eye on your boat, checking moorings, washing down etc and would be happy boat sitting. We love outdoor activities and especially enjoy being near the water.
We are available short and long term and will treat your home and possessions with utmost care and respect. You can be sure your home will be in the same condition as when you left it. We are homebodies and prefer to be at home in the evenings so pets will have company and receive lots of love and attention.
Excellent references from many happy clients are available. New Zealand police checks available on request.
