Pat & Teresa both retired and love travel and house sitting. We love animals but dogs are our top pick. I was in retail and T was an admin

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

This is easy.
Traveling to other part on NZ and seeing the country, but the best for us is connecting with other people and caring for you beloved fur baby's.

Our pick might be dogs, but any fur baby is good no matter the size.
I Pat worked in retail at a supermarket for 7 years as a duty manager and loved it, before that I was a gardener for 6.5 years with the last 2 at Gisborne Hospital.

We have now lived in New Zealand for 21 years. I'm from Ireland and T is Portuguese.
We are both very tidy (ok Teresa nags me about putting things away) which I do. Neither of us likes mess so will always keep your home clean and tidy.
So looking forward to taking care of your home and fur baby's.
You will never be disappointed with choosing us to care for your home.
We have house sat through this site some years ago but we stopped when we got our own fur baby's which sadly we said goodbye to the last one in early December 2025.
As it was so long that we house sat we don't have references yet.
We are both nonsmokers.
Both of us volunteer at the Gisborne Red Cross shop. To work here you have to pass an MOJ check so this will give you more peace of mind choosing us.

Review

Unfortunately we were not able to go ahead with the house sit due to personal reasons on our side. Patrick and Teresa was very understanding which we really appreciate. We look forward to getting them to house sit for us in the future.
House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
