We are a recently engaged couple heading home to Wellington after extended travel through Asia and Europe. Tidy, reliable, and genuinely good with animals.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We’re both tidy and take good care of wherever we’re staying, treating it the way we’d want our own home looked after. We take the time to learn each animal’s routine and keep a close eye on how they’re doing day to day.

Both of us grew up around animals and have always jumped at the opportunity the house/pet sit for family and friends over the years. We’re patient, calm, and pay attention to the small things.

Beyond that we’re pretty easygoing guests happy to fit into whatever routine ... Read more
