We love house sitting because it connects us with pets while helping us experience the local Kiwi lifestyle. Coming from Spain, we are eager to explore new neighborhoods and embrace this beautiful culture. Having grown up with pets from puppy/kittenhood to their senior years, we understand their changing needs—from energetic walks to quiet cuddles.

We have a lifetime of personal experience raising and caring for both dogs and cats. Our background includes living with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ranging from a Yorkshire Terrier to a Frenchie/Dalmatian cross, a Pitbull, and a Husky mix.
We are highly adaptable, having lived with pets in both compact apartments and large multi-story houses with backyards and pools. We understand the responsibility of daily exercise for dogs, maintaining strict routines for both, and even preparing specialized diets (like fresh chicken and veggies). Furthermore, we are fully comfortable administering medication and managing health mishaps, such as upset stomachs. Your pets' well-being and health are always our top priority.

Okaina and Andres looked after our house, car and 2 dogs for 3 weeks. Dogs were happy and house well looked after and clean upon return. Thank you :)
We couldn't have asked for better house sitters than Okaina and Andres. They were such a thoughtful, kind, and caring couple who looked after our beloved Rex so well while we were away. We loved receiving their regular photo and video updates of Rex enjoying his beach walks, which gave us real peace of mind. They also took wonderful care of our home, leaving the flat clean, tidy, and in excellent order. It was a pleasure to return home knowing everything had been so well looked after. We ...

We would happily recommend Okaina and Andres to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy house sitters. We wish them both all the very best for the rest of their travels around New Zealand and beyond. They are a lovely young couple, and we hope our paths cross again someday!
