Couple75, retired lawyer
72, housewife
We came to NZ from the Netherlands at least once a year since 2007 and usually stay at least a few months at a time (mainly during NZ summer season). Our daughter, her husband and our two grandchildren live in Auckland (Greenhithe). They have two cats and we have looked after them and their house when they are away.
When our children lived at home, we had dogs, chickens, sheep and rabbits. We like animals and pets. We also enjoy doing a bit of gardening. Distance from housesitting to Greenhithe isn't important, we have our own car and while we are in NZ more than three months it is not necessary to be so often at our daughter place( mostly we stay the first 14 days at her place, start than with housesittings and every time between housesittings we are several days again at her place).
Update: 3rd of October 2019 we travelled again to NZ after selling our house in the Netherlands and our stuff in storage, with an one way ticket hope the parent resident visa will reopen (January 2017 we send our EOI already) and that should happened in May 2020, but due to Covid 19 INZ suspended it till further notice. Our parent/grandparent visa extended till 25 th of September and now again till 25th of February 2021 and we hope in between to can apply for residency.
Since April 2022 we finally got our residency and live in beautiful Orewa and are pleased to do house-/petsittings again.
December 2023: notice: no housesittings in the moment because Annie is waiting for a knee replacement!
Harry and Annie, cared for my home and chickens and my dog Cleo for 4 days. They were very accommodating but Cleo was very happy to see me when I returned and obviously had been cared for and taken for walks.
Thank you Harry and Annie.
Thanks again Harry it was lovely having you look after Brodie, everything was well taken care of, the house was tidy and clean and Brodie was very happy and enjoyed you guys.. we would defines recommend 😊
Fantastic house sitter, excellent communication and really couldn't have asked for better, was a pleasure to meet this lovely couple & hopefully they'll house sit again in the future.
Harry and Annie did a wonderful job of house sitting and dog sitting for us, we had complete confidence in them from the moment we met them.
The animals were well cared for and happy on our return and the house was clean and tidy also.
These guys are perfect! Great communication before, then we had a chance to meet. Then they did a great job looking after our house, dog and cat. It was so good to know they were at our house. Thank you so much!
Good communication before the house sit, lovely people. The dogs were kept well within the there routine.
Harry & Annie did a wonderful job for us, looking after our cat and dog when we were overseas for a couple of weeks. Upon initial meeting, the animals loved them straight away so that put us at ease from the start. During our time away, Harry & Annie kept in communication with us. The house was left cleaner than when we left it! We couldn't have asked for better and we whole-heartedly recommend Harry & Annie for your house-sitting and pet-sitting needs. Thanks again Harry & Annie, we can't wait ... MORE
Harry and Annie were onderful house sitters. Our home, and fur babies, were well looked after, and house clean and tidy on our return. They were flexible, when we made a couple of date changes too. We look forward to them coming back next year, and hope they will come back and stay again.
Harry and Annie house sat for us in January 2018. They took great care of both the property and more importantly our golden retriever Harry who seemed very content. They kept everything clean and tidy. A pleasant and easy going couple and I have no issues recommending them for future house sits.
Harry and Annie were the perfect house and pet sitters. They took care of our house and pets with perfection.
We have an energetic Mini Schnauzer that Harry and Annie walked and cared for everyday, along with our cats and fish.
Communication with Harry and Annie was easy and they were always an email away and responded quickly.
We count ourselves very lucky to have found such an awesome husband and wife team to look after our beloved pets and our house whilst we were away. We ... MORE
We needed house sitters at quite short notice and were pleased to have someone take the short job. We were especially fortunate, therefore, to have found Harry and Annie! Our wee dog and home were wonderfully taken care of while we were away. We returned to find everything clean and tidy. I recommend Harry and Annie as excellent, easy to work with house sitters.
Thanks to Harry and Annie who did a great job looking after my 2 cats, and house
They wanted to find out my cats exact routines to make sure they "got it right in every sense".
I felt comfortable with them as soon as I met them and nothing was too much trouble
Thanks Harry and Annie for looking after my 2 demanding cats who enjoy lots of TLC, you did a great job
Would certainly see if you are available next time I go away
Many thanks
A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
