favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We both adore animals. Where ever we go, whether it's a restaurant or friend's house, if there are pets there, we just have to say hello and give them pets and cuddles.
We also love to travel a lot and so what better way to do so than with furry friends to look after and keep us company!

Hello! We are Rosie and Braden (goes by the nickname Bender).
We are a friendly, clean & tidy couple that love surfing and have a passion for living an active, healthy life style, whilst seeing the world. We enjoy being outdoors, going for walks and hikes, as well as cooking together. And most importantly, we are both huge animal lovers!
Rosie grew up with cats in Blackpool, England and since then has lived with housemates that have dogs and puppies.

Hello! We are Rosie and Braden (goes by the nickname Bender).
We are a friendly, clean & tidy couple that love surfing and have a passion for living an active, healthy life style, whilst seeing the world. We enjoy being outdoors, going for walks and hikes, as well as cooking together. And most importantly, we are both huge animal lovers!
Rosie grew up with cats in Blackpool, England and since then has lived with housemates that have dogs and puppies.
Bender grew up in North West Victoria, Australia and had many dogs growing up on his family's farm.
We have both been travelling for many years and recently began house and pet sitting in the Philippines. Since then we have done some house sitting in New Zealand too and we are loving travelling while meeting fluffy companions all over the world.
Rosie works teaching English online so can be home as much as needed for the animals that need to be with someone a lot. We also enjoy long walks though and so if you have dogs that need plenty of walks then we would be very happy to do so.
We are both non-smokers and very rarely drink alcohol.

Pet care

We have done pet sitting for many cats and dogs of different sizes and ages. Some house sitting was in the Philippines and we have also done some in New Zealand and can provide references (from trust house sitters).
We both also grew up with pets and have lots of experience with animals.

Review

Have just completed our first house-sit experience with the lovely Braden and Rosie - what a fab team (11 out of 10)! Super easy to communicate with, and such a fun and interesting couple. Our cat Bonnie was in absolute bliss with constant love, attention and brushing. We were delighted to have Braden and Rosie in our home, such easy house guests and they would be welcome back any time, if their travels bring them back to the Bay. Wishing them all the best for the future endeavors - thanks ... MoreHave just completed our first house-sit experience with the lovely Braden and Rosie - what a fab team (11 out of 10)!
