Hello 👋 We are a couple from the UK currently travelling NZ who miss spending time with animals that aren't sandflies. We are neat, experienced house sitters you can trust with your home and pets ♥️

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We love house sitting as we get to spend time with new pets, visit new areas and give people a chance to spend time away stress free. We are looking to help with sits of any kind and treat your home and pets with the same level of care and love as we would treat our own.

Hello 👋

Our names are Liz and Jack, we are both 29 years old and from Manchester in the UK. We are currently travelling around New Zealand in a campervan and have two year working holiday visas, but we are hoping to extend to three years as we love it here so much. We love hiking, cooking and New Zealand pies 🥧

We have both grown up in pet centric households with animals being a core part of family life. We understand how important it is to make sure they're content, looked after and ... Read moreHello 👋

We are currently travelling around New Zealand in a campervan and have two year working holiday visas, but we are hoping to extend to three years as we love it here so much. We love hiking, cooking and New Zealand pies 🥧

We have both grown up in pet centric households with animals being a core part of family life. We understand how important it is to make sure they're content, looked after and their routines maintained. In our families we have had all kinds of dogs and cats (and chickens), big and small, wild and timid, pups and rescues, and know that no two are ever the same 🐾

We're experienced house sitters having used a similar app in the UK called TrustedHouseSitters (we've added our reviews as pictures in our profile). We've cared for both cats and dogs, given medication, maintained gardens and taken care of homes.

We look forward to meeting you soon ✨

Read moreWe both grew up in pet centric households, with both cats, dogs and chickens around.

This includes both puppies/kittens as well as rescues. We have undertaken many housesits, both for new families found through house sitting apps and for our own family and friends back in the UK, for time periods ranging from a few days to several week.

The dog breeds include Springer Spaniel, Labrador, Staffy, Greyhound, Corgi and German Shepherd, Border Collie's and Spoodles, but there is no breed we wouldn't love.

Liz and Jack were absolutely fantastic. They were really easy to communicate with, from organising the initial meet and greet until they left the house. Their care of our two cats was exemplary. Our senior girl Violet was at the end of a nasty dermatitis flare up when they took over her care for a long weekend away, and nothing was an issue, from medicating to ensuring everything was healing as it should be.

Our senior girl Violet was at the end of a nasty dermatitis flare up when they took over her care for a long weekend away, and nothing was an issue, from medicating to ensuring everything was healing as it should be. We came home to a beautifully clean house which is always such a treat after being away. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

Jack and Liz were amazing house sitters. They really went above and beyond what was required. They kept in constant contact and let us know of any issues. Our cat was very lucky to be so well cared for. Our house was also well maintained, as well as all my plants looked after. I can’t praise them highly enough. We’d be more than happy to use them again. And they are such lovely people as well!!
Liz and Jack looked after Sophie and our home well. We arrived back from our holiday to a clean house and a happy cat. Before and during the house sit they communicated wonderfully. We would happily have them house-sit again.
Elizabeth and Jack were great house sitters. There was a lot of communication, the house was spotless when we returned, and the dogs were extremely happy.
Jack and Liz did a fantastic job taking care of the cat and left the house even cleaner than when they first arrived. They were lovely to chat with and I would happily call upon them to hold down the fort in the future.
Liz and Jack were the perfect housesitters. Great communication, very open and friendly and not weirded out with staying in house with us at either end of the housesit. They obviously loved our big hairy golden retriever - he very chilled on our return and they also made friends with our standoffish cat. Everything was left lovely and tidy. We would have them housesit again for us in a heartbeat.
Liz and Jack are a match made in heaven. They single handedly saved Otto from dog prison and he couldn’t have been happier. Block walks, ball chasing, belly rubs, car rides and lots of loving. He had it all. The guys kept in touch on a daily basis, with how things were going and along with photos and we couldn’t have been happier. Not for one moment did we have any concerns. They even lured one of the cats inside, which is no mean feat. We highly recommend Liz and Jack. Otto’s health and ... MoreLiz and Jack are a match made in heaven.

Thank you guys. We really appreciate what you’ve done during this house sit. I think we owe you a beer at the local brewery. <3

Liz and Jack were the perfect house sitters. They loved to spend time with our lab Bonnie (pretty sure she is missing them). They communicated regularly with updates and photos, and it was lovely to walk in to a house that seemed tidier than when we left. Thanks guys!
We were extremely happy with Liz and Jack as our house and pet sitters. They took wonderful care of our dog and cat, it was clear they are genuine animal lovers who treated our pets with care and attention. We returned home to a spotless house, left exactly as we had left it, which we really appreciated. Communication was easy and reassuring throughout our time away, we felt completely comfortable knowing our home and pets were in safe hands. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone ...
