favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We love travelling, and house sitting enables us to do so on a tighter budget. We usually live in a simple 1- bedroom apartment, so unfortunately cannot have any pets of our own. We’d absolutely love to have a dog again, but for now, pet sitting is a great way to give lots of love to someone’s pet.

Hello!
My name is Tenille and my husband is Josh. We got married in 2021, and are now creating some great travel experiences and memories together. I’m originally from South Africa, but grew up in beautiful New Zealand. We both love travel and adventure. In our free time we’ll go hiking, surfing, paddle boarding… anything that involves being in nature and the outdoors. I work as a Heath Coach at the University, and Josh works in the trades, specifically landscaping, tiling and any handyman ... Read moreHello!

I work as a Heath Coach at the University, and Josh works in the trades, specifically landscaping, tiling and any handyman work. We’ve both grown up with animals and absolutely love them. In general, you could say we’re early risers. We like to start the day early and get a lot accomplished in the day so that at the end of the day we can settle down and enjoy a relaxed dinner. We so look forward to sitting for your lovely home and pets and appreciate the opportunity.

Pet care

We have both grown up with pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits etc… We completed two pet sits in London while we were travelling, caring for 2x dachshunds, and the other for 1x fox terrier pup. In New Zealand, we did a 1-month house sit for a family’s home and cared for their beautiful cat.

travelTravel plans

We are leaving for a 2-month European adventure over June and July 2026. We’d love to house and/or pet sit for a month or so before we leave, enabling us to save a bit more for our trip.

It was such a relief to have Tenille & Josh home sit for us when we were recently away for 5 weeks, leaving behind our elderly dog. They were perfect house sitters. with great communication. When we arrived home our house was spotless and the dog was well cared for. We have no hesitation in recommending Tenille & Josh and wish them all the best..
Wonderful housesitters. Tensile and Josh took excellent care of our house and cat while we were away. We came back to an immaculate house and very happy cat. We would definitely recommend them.
Peace of Mind

Happy you!

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