favoriteWhy we love house sitting

House sitting is such an amazing way to see so many beautiful parts of the world we may never have had a chance to visit otherwise.

Hello!

We are Saskia and Moray, a couple of fun-loving professionals taking a career break to travel around New Zealand on a working holiday. New Zealand has always been top of our travel bucketlist and we're so excited to finally be making the trip.

We have travelled all over Europe together and each place we've stayed we've treated with the same respect and care we would with our own home. We are non-smokers who are clean, tidy, quiet and want to immerse ourselves in the local ... Read more
Hello!

We are Saskia and Moray, a couple of fun-loving professionals taking a career break to travel around New Zealand on a working holiday. New Zealand has always been top of our travel bucketlist and we're so excited to finally be making the trip.

We have travelled all over Europe together and each place we've stayed we've treated with the same respect and care we would with our own home. We are non-smokers who are clean, tidy, quiet and want to immerse ourselves in the local culture.

We love people and pets, and can't wait to get to know you and your furry friends. We have both had pets in the past and find joy in our shared love of animals. Saskia's best friend is her family dog, a 12-year-old cavapoo named Hamish - but don't tell him she's getting to know other animals while she's away! We're a fit and active couple who love walking and hiking so we can't wait to get out and about with your pets and will be able to keep up with the liveliest ones. But we also love the quiet moments to relax with pets and give them lots of cuddles and attention. We have previously looked after dogs and cats in the UK and the Netherlands and love getting to know all furry friends. We are comfortable administering any medication your pets may need as we have experience of that in the past. The hardest part of it is saying goodbye to them at the end of our stay.

We want to explore and experience as much of the country as we can and are eager to visit both the big cities and rural areas of New Zealand so wherever you are based we'd be excited to get to know your part of the country.

We have experience administering medication to multiple dogs and when necessary timing it correctly around when they have to eat. We cared for two cats in Amsterdam and were responsible for keeping them safe and secure in the busy city environment. We are keen to continue to grow our experience with all kinds of pets.
