We are a Canadian family of four looking to housesit in NZ between October 2026 - December 2026 for a week or longer.
We are mature house owners on a year long sabbatical. We are members of HomeExchange.com and have shared our home with others. Our two boys are 13 and 11, and are very calm mature lads.
We will have our own vehicle and we are comfortable taking care of pets. We are keen to do basic house and yard maintenance. We are flexible with location and keen to experience New Zealand culture.
If this is something that you are interested in, please reach out to us.

Thank you for considering us!
