About us

37, Accountant

Friendly, responsible couple from Hong Kong and Malaysia, travelling New Zealand for six months. Professional, tidy, and genuinely fond of pets and gardens — we've cared for 8 cats and 2 dogs so far.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

House sitting lets us experience New Zealand as locals do — settling into a neighbourhood, caring for animals, and enjoying homes and gardens we'd never otherwise see. We value the trust it's built on, and we like knowing homeowners can travel with their minds at ease.

Hello! We're Lans (37, from Hong Kong), a professional accountant, and Pacey (43, from Malaysia), a keen cook and outdoor enthusiast who has worked as a senior carer in New Zealand and spent four years managing and maintaining an Airbnb property here. We're travelling New Zealand again for six months, keen to live at a local pace and give something back to the places we stay.

We're Lans (37, from Hong Kong), a professional accountant, and Pacey (43, from Malaysia), a keen cook and outdoor enthusiast who has worked as a senior carer in New Zealand and spent four years managing and maintaining an Airbnb property here. We're travelling New Zealand again for six months, keen to live at a local pace and give something back to the places we stay.

We're tidy, dependable, and quick to pick up a household's routines. Last year we house-sat for eight cats and two dogs, and we loved the companionship — feeding schedules, litter trays, walks, and plenty of attention. We kept a small garden in Hong Kong, so watering, mowing, and general upkeep are no trouble at all.

We know how much trust it takes to hand over your home and your animals. You'll come back to a house that's secure, clean, and lived-in, and to pets who've had company every day.

travelTravel plans

We're in New Zealand for six months and would prefer to sit on the North Island at the moment, though we'll consider anywhere that's a good fit. Our schedule is open; we can work around your dates — including short notice, longer stays, or back-to-back sits.

Lans and Pacey house sat for me for just over two weeks. They sent me regular updates and photos of my cat whilst I was away. They ensured she was well looked after and Poppy soon adopted them as her new mothers. They looked after my house perfectly and left it cleaner and tidier than when I left. I would rate Lans and Pacey a 20 out of 10 and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. My only complaint is that they are leaving NZ and Poppy and I will not see them again.
Lans and Pacey housesat for us for two weeks and were excellent sitters. They provided regular updates about our cat and the house was immaculate when we returned home. Would highly recommend them as house sitters!
We just got home from our holiday , Lans and Pacey were absolutely amazing! They came when we asked, they communicated well, messaged us telling us our pets are ok, looked after our pets so well took them for walks. Even left a little gift for my daughter whose birthday it was! 10/10 for these guys, if they come back to New Zealand I would be using them again! Thank you so so much guys
We really recommend Lans and Pacey. They were great with communication both prior to and during their house sit. It gave us great peace of mind that they were taking such great care of our home while we were away. They left the home spotless and even left behind some small gifts.
Lans and Pacey were absolutely amazing! 😻 We had only moved into our house 2 weeks before and there were lots of temporary fencing and builders coming and going. They were superstars and nothing fazed them! Even plugged up little gaps our wee dog found 👍🏻They were always updating us and even needed to take 1 of our cats to the vets after looking for Jazz for 2 days as she got clipped by a car and hadn’t come home … I highly recommend using them as sitters and would absolutely have them back. ...

Lans and Pacey were absolutely amazing. Went out of their way to care for our kitten incredibly well and treated him like he was their own. Kept me regularly informed with photos and updates and were open and honest. They left our home super clean and tidy. Would highly recommend Lans and Pacey to other home owners 😊
Great house and pet sitters. They left the house cleaner than they found it. One of our cats is nervous around strangers, but they got him out of his shell within 2 days, which has not happened with strangers before. Communication was excellent. They asked any questions as soon as they came up and were great at clarifying our instructions. When our fish were not eating all the food given, they recognised the issue and quickly contacted us to discuss a solution before the excess food ... MoreGreat house and pet sitters.

When our fish were not eating all the food given, they recognised the issue and quickly contacted us to discuss a solution before the excess food destabilised the tank. I would absolutely recommend them for house sitting. Your house and pets will be well taken care of.
