71, Retired

We are retired New Zealanders spending the summer months in New Zealand and the winter months in Western Australia.
We love to house sit while we are here in NZ.
Our working life has been managing and owning Holiday Parks and in the early years, farming.
We have had house / pet sitting experience in Western Australia and in New Zealand for 2 years.
We are both non smokers and in good health.
Long or short term sits are fine.

Sue and Gary were great. minded animals well and we came home to a nice clean house. were given regular updates during the storm which was great. yes, definitely have them again. thank you
Sue and Gary were absolutely wonderful house sitters, and we would happily recommend them to anyone. They came over before the sit to meet us and our dogs, which we really appreciated. They also arrived before we left, so the dogs were calm and happy knowing someone was already there. While we were away, they sent us photos of our pets, which we loved and really appreciated. We came home to very happy dogs and cat, and a beautifully clean home, which is always such a great feeling. Sue and Gary ...

We were so greatful to have Sue and Gary do a repeat house sit for us. This made our little getaway weekend super relaxing knowing everything was taken care of. Communication was excellent, and also knowing they were enjoying their stay, ticked all our boxes. We recommend Sue and Gary for your future house sit needs. Thanks again.

Sue and Gary were another great match for our short house sit recently. Everything was left perfect, the fur babies, feathered friends and cows were all happy to see us. We highly recommend Sue and Gary for your future house sit needs. That's if they are available! Thank you Sue and Gary.
Sue was great, dogs and cats well looked after. House left as found. Excellent communicator. Flexible as a family member returned home a day earlier than planned. Would highly recommend.
Sue & Gary looked after our property & little dog Benji for 3 weeks while we went overseas. Communication was good both before and during our absence and we found the house clean & tidy on our return. They are very nice people and were flexible with dates. I would highly recommend them & use them again.
Sue and Gary made early contact. They were very capable of managing our small block and livestock including the needy old fox terrier. Very approachable and put our minds an ease so we could enjoy our holiday. Kept in touch to make sure our flight had landed. Would recommend.
Sue and Gary are a lovely couple. They looked after our animals, house and property very well. We came home to very happy animals and the house had been looked after beautifully. During our 4 weeks in Europe, it was easy to communicate with them and we felt really relaxed, knowing that our animals were really happy. We will wholeheartedly recommend Sue and Gary and would be happy to use them again if the situation arises.
Sue and Gary were awesome! They looked after our house, pets, and animals so well - our dog fell in love with them and the house was pristine when we came home. Their communication was excellent as well, we were away for a month and got a regular series of email updates with photos. We felt completely confident with them looking after everything and would absolutely recommend them.
Sue and Gary were great. Communication was good and they managed our animals amazingly. Would welcome them back any time, grateful for them looking after our place as if it was their own.
Peace of Mind

Happy you!

With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
