43, Administrator

45, Accountant

We're a family of 4 based in Christchurch, NZ. We love to travel and go on family adventures together. We also love animals so to be able to combine the two is pretty special

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We love being able to look after someone's pet/s while having the opportunity to explore somewhere new and expose our children to different animals/breeds and new adventures.

Jason and I spent 10 years over in London (pre children) and have travelled extensively. We returned to NZ in 2016 and spent 8 months house sitting/living with family until finding our home and welcoming Ethan and Ruby.

Hi there

I'm Jen and my partner is Jason. We have two children, Ethan (7) and Ruby (4).

We live in Spreydon, Christchurch and have 2 chickens as well as being a popular hangout for a number of neighbourhood cats. 🐈

Jason and I spent 10 years over in London (pre children) and have travelled extensively. We returned to NZ in 2016 and spent 8 months house sitting/living with family until finding our home and welcoming Ethan and Ruby.

Jason works as an accountant for a large building company and I work as an administrator at a parks and recreation consultancy.

We now share our love of travel with our children and enjoy exploring all over NZ (overseas in the future hopefully).

We're excited to combine our love of travel with our love of animals and look forward to opportunities housesitters bring us.

Top rate house sitters, highly recommended to all on this site. Came home to happy pets and clean and tidy house. Excellent communication both prior to and during the sit. Thanks so much
Jen and her family took great care of our pets and home. The house was in pristine condition when we got home and the pets were very happy!!
Peace of Mind

Happy you!

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