favoriteWhy we love house sitting

As we are new to this site I'm going to say exploring different parts of our beautiful country, meeting new people and their pets.

Hi there, to any house owners out there wanting to go away on holiday, and know that your pets and home are going to be well looked after.


I hope a brief introduction about ourselves may make your decision to choose us easier.

Our names are Glen and Krista. We live in the sunny Bay of Plenty. Have 3 adult children and 7 grandchildren. We do own our own home. We have owned a number of animals during our lives. Sadly our last 2 treasured dogs passed away about a year ago. So have ... Read more
Hi there, to any house owners out there wanting to go away on holiday, and know that your pets and home are going to be well looked after.


I hope a brief introduction about ourselves may make your decision to choose us easier.

Our names are Glen and Krista. We live in the sunny Bay of Plenty. Have 3 adult children and 7 grandchildren. We do own our own home. We have owned a number of animals during our lives. Sadly our last 2 treasured dogs passed away about a year ago. So have decided to join kiwi house sitters to help us to get out and explore new places, while getting a pet fix at the same time.

We will take great care of your loved pets or stock and your house while you are away, We are both fit and able bodied who love the outdoors.

My husband has worked in a variety of positions including Building, Mechanical , Farming both crop and stock and Truck driving. His last job before he retired a year ago was owning his own business. He was contracted to the police and worksafe to investigate vehicles that had been involved in serious crashes.

I have also worked in a variety of jobs including Farming, Gardening, Nurse aide postions in hospitals and rest homes and currently as a Teacher aide with special needs students at a local high school. At this stage we are looking for house sits during the school holidays only.

Would love to talk further.
Regards Krista.

Review

Krista and Glen were amazing! They went above and beyond while looking after our house and animals. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for tidy considerate house sitters.
House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
