favoriteWhy we love house sitting

Caring for pets, properties and plants! And we love a change of scene from time to time, like a holiday!

Both David and I are professionals working full time in the city - both with the ability to work from home.

We have recently become homeless by choice. In an effort to get the funds together to purchase a house of our own, we have moved everything to storage and are full time house sitters! (Or staying at my mothers in Kingsland!).

We have recently become homeless by choice. In an effort to get the funds together to purchase a house of our own, we have moved everything to storage and are full time house sitters! (Or staying at my mothers in Kingsland!).

We are nuts about pets in general and really want to house sit to get that fix. We also see the opportunity to stay in different spaces as a privilege and an adventure!

I used to work professionally with dogs, having my own dog walking and pet sitting company. I am highly experienced with special needs animals who require medical assistance, and our canine friends in their twilight years.

My gorgeous amazing intelligent 8 year old daughter is with us 50% of the time, and she too misses having the connection with animals. She is house trained and won't be the sort to write on the walls or damage property! That, I can gaurentee!!

David works in the charity sector. He landed in NZ from Berlin nearly 10 years ago and just adores seeing the different part of our city, and country!

PLEASE NOTE - When we come to stay, it might be all three of us, or it might be just one of us, maybe with Rosie or without, depending on the time and other commitments.

Pet care

To date we have mostly looked after dogs and cats, at their home or ours. Some have required a lot of movement and interaction, others more wanting cuddles and their medicines on time!

Jenn and David were fantastic house sitters for Audrey (Dog) and Yoda (Cat). Their communication was excellent. We received daily updates and regular photos of the adventures they got up too. While we were away, our dog got a bad reaction from foraging in the bush, and required a visit to the vet. Jenn went above and beyond in her compassion and communication as well as paying up front for the vet visit. We were so reassured and happy with the care and attention Jenn and David gave to Audrey ... MoreJenn and David were fantastic house sitters for Audrey (Dog) and Yoda (Cat).

Jenn went above and beyond in her compassion and communication as well as paying up front for the vet visit. We were so reassured and happy with the care and attention Jenn and David gave to Audrey and Yoda. They were also excellent house-sitters and we returned to a very clean, neat and tidy house, which we greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend Jenn and David, and were so thankful for their house-sit of our house and pets.
