Hello! We are a couple from the US traveling through New Zealand in our van for the year on a working holiday. Through our travels we are looking to connect with the beautiful landscapes, animals and the people of NZ.

Before coming to New Zealand we both worked in travel education planning, facilitating, and mentoring young adults abroad. We love the outdoors, animals, cooking, music and much more!

While in the US we have both house/animal sat for everything from apartments with indoor-only pets to small ranches. We both have looked over properties and house sort term and longer term. We take pride in our cleanliness and are always respectful of people's space and homes. We enjoy strolls around the neighborhoods and mellow evenings cooking and enjoying the company of sweet animals.

We are going to be all over NZ for the next year and are very flexible on timing and location!

While we are new to the site we are happy to provide references to previous house and animal sitting jobs that we have had in the US.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions and we look forward to hearing from you!
