favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We want to take our time travelling around New Zealand’s amazing North and South Island’s - therefore house sitting is the perfect way for us to take our time visiting all corners of the country and experiencing life here in authentic way, plus we both absolutely love animals!

Kia Ora! We are Pippa (Music Industry Consultant, 26) and Joe (Secondary School teacher, 27) - a pet and outdoors loving couple from Newcastle in the UK. We are travelling around the beautiful country of New Zealand over the next year and are keen to see all the amazing sights it has to offer through the authentic Kiwi experience of home stays!

I gained hands-on experience looking after pets and caring for homes, both at our own place and at other properties. Both Joe and I grew up surrounded by a wide variety of animals, from dogs, cats, and rabbits to chickens, guinea pigs, and fish. We’re both very much animal lovers!

We had Pippa and Joe housesit and look after our dog for almost a week, and have already confirmed them for a repeat sit. They are a very friendly and well mannered couple and were great with comms. They sent through plenty of updates, took our dog on adventures and left the house in a perfect state! Highly recommend for any future house sits!
Pippa & Joe did a great job looking after our house and dog. Lots of good comms & photos to give reassurance of a happy camp. Thanks Pippa & Joe.
Fantastic house sitters, the dogs loved hanging out with Pippa and Joe. The house was left immaculately. Thank you!
Fabulous housitters that were great to deal with, straight from the start. Excellent communication throughout and they left the house clean, organised and as expected. Super friendly couple, highly recommended, and the pets agree 🙂
Pippa and Joe were lovely, great communication and care of the house and Hank. Super easy to set up the house sit and no issues at all while they were here. Would love to have them back 💜
We found Pippa & Joe very friendly and approachable. It was helpful for them to come to visit the day before required, to meet us and the dogs. Enjoyed receiving photos of them exercising the dogs. Found them trustworthy and would recommend them to others.
Pippa and Joe looked after our place beautifully while we were away. Our kitties didn’t even know we’d been away!! Thanks so much 😊
Excellent pet sitters and communicated well. My dog absolutely loved them and was well looked after. I would highly recommend them.
Pippa & Joe are a delightful young couple and were an absolute pleasure to have stay. We were able to meet with them prior to our decision, which greatly helped and had us feeling very confident that our home and dog would be well cared for. All communication pre, during and post stay was positive and prompt, including some very happy photos of our girl. As new to NZ we had work references for both current and previous employers who both provided very exemplary references. Would ...
