My wife, Ann, and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. Since we retired from own own business three years ago, we have been house and pet sitting in New Zealand, U.S.A. and Australia, which has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
We are both animal lovers, especially dogs and cats, and are conscientious and completely trustworthy. All of our house sitting hosts have found us to be the ideal people to take care of their pets and their homes while they are away and they have provided us with excellent references.
We enjoy very good health, are non-smokers and especially like walking, jogging, swimming, and aqua-aerobics. Reading, crosswords, sudoku and going to the movies are our other pastimes.
Just a brief history:
Prior to setting up our own retail business in in Auckland, we spent five years in Malaysia, when we were appointed the business managers for an Australian Direct Selling Jewellery Company. This proved to be a successful, challenging and interesting change of career direction for us both.
Ann came from a marketing background and I was an electronics technician, having trained in the British Army, before emigrating to New Zealand.
In the early 1970's, we emigrated to New Zealand from England, bringing with us our daughter and son, who are now married and who have blessed us with three beautiful grandchildren.
Over the years we have owned our own pets, from rabbits and goldfish to dogs and cats. Currently, we do not have any pets of our own, so enjoy the contact pet sitting and looking after other people's pets allows us.
You can be assured that your home and your pets will be cared for with the utmost diligence. We are fully aware of the responsibilities and the loving care required to look people's homes and their pets.
