Tash & Lath

We are a family of 4 - Lath (38), Tash (36), Arabella (10) & Sienna (5) with amazing 5 star reviews from house sitting!

We are currently in the beautiful South Island and looking for house sits here.

We are a clean and tidy family who are very respectful of people's home, property and privacy and we are reliable and trustworthy. We commit to house sits - the only reason we would have to cancel would be in an emergency. We have amazing reviews for you to check out and we are always getting asked back to house sit again for previous house sits!

Arabella and Sienna are not rough and tumble, are respectful of people's property and they always eat and drink at the table or outside. We are not party people; we love our quiet time at home with the girls. We are also non-smokers and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. We lived rural for a long time, so we understand septic tanks and tank water.

The girls do home education and we are both self-employed which means we do require good internet to work from our laptops (this is very important!). We work mainly in the evenings, so during the day we do a mixture of hiking and exploring new areas as a family, as well as relaxing at home.

We love animals! In 2022 we said goodbye to our beautiful and loyal 16yo border collie Phoenix. He was our life so we really understand what it means to look after and love an animal and we will do the same with yours. He was blind, deaf, had dementia, was incontinent and on medication, so we have experience with this. Over our lifetime we have had chickens, budgies, guinea pigs, fish & dogs.

We would take care of your pets as though they were our own with feeding, PLENTY of cuddles and exercise (if necessary) and taking them out in the car on adventures. We have looked after dogs of all kinds, cats, horses, goats, sheep and chickens. The girls are very gentle with animals and know how to treat them right and will become best friends with them in no time!

We keep in touch with homeowners via Whatsapp or email and can send you pics/videos of your fur babies as often as you'd like us to.

House sitting experience:
House sit #1 - We looked after a large rural property that had 6 houses with air bnb accommodation. The property itself didn't need maintaining so any garden work etc was minimal. There were 6 alpacas on the property and they looked after themselves so we just checked on them to make sure they were ok. We greeted any guests checking in to the accommodation and also cleaned the houses once they checked out and we helped out if the guests had any issues.

House sit #2 - We looked after two gorgeous dogs - a cavoodle and a papillion. Fed them twice a day and walked them every day We took care of the lawns as well as watering indoor plants, feeding 2 goldfish and cleaning their tank when required.
