Bernadette and Rainer

64, Retired - Tourism Specialist

73, Retired IT Specialist

Hi there
We are a well travelled couple of Kiwi and German descent
We have lived and worked in Europe (Germany , Switzerland ) and Western Australia for 20+ years .
In the last 7 years we have lived in Rotorua and more recently Whakatane where we ran an AirBnB on our property.

We are both active and extremely house proud. We are keen gardeners and very able with any odd jobs that need to be done.
We have been married for over 30 years and in that time have both owned and rented properties with glowing references .
Our interests include Gardening, Knitting , Sewing and Cooking.
Rainer plays Guitar and loves to read.
Both AirBnBs we ran we had superhost 5- star rating and occupancy was 80%.
We are open to helping out with AirBnBs as required.

We are fluent in English, German and French.

Bernadette and Rainer did a fantastic job of house sitting and looking after my 3 cats. Great communication throughout. The house was spick and span when I arrived home, and the cats well fed and cared for. 100% recommend.

Bernadette and Rainer were great house sitters. Very thoughtful and generous. I’d recommend them

Bernadette and Rainer have been fantastic from start to finish. As all first time users of house sitters, we were a bit apprehensive to have someone we didn’t know stay in our house, but we didn’t need to worry. Before we left Bernadette was in contact to confirm they were coming, happy to have phone calls and meet with us and clear on what information they would like from us about the house or cat. Whilst we were away they send us messages and pictures of our cat so we knew she was ok ... MORE

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
