Tony and I live on a small lifestyle property under Mt Ruapehu. We still graze a few horses and cows.
When our children were young, we shared our lives with their dogs, cats, goats, guinea pigs...

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We like to share our house and animals with others when we are traveling.
We offer the same win win care we have enjoyed with similar home and pet owners.
Available for NELSON MARLBOROUGH TASMAN area only

Tony and I are now able to spend time visiting and supporting our children and their children who live in the Nelson/Marlborough/Tasman so only interested in sits in these areas at this stage.

We are both outdoor active, and enjoy exploring new areas around NZ.
We are practical reliable people, conscientiously responsible for 4 and 2 legged beings.
Tony daily walks Bella, the neighbour's dog, around the village.
I take youngsters out for a ride on our horses.
