Andy & Camila

32, Project Information Management

33, Foreman (Construction)

Hi there,

My name is Camila (from Colombia), and my partner is Andy (from Scotland). We are an adventurous couple living and working in Christchurch. Currently, we reside in our beloved campervan, fondly named Yeti.
Recently, we made the decision to inspire others to venture out and explore New Zealand in our beautiful big boy. House sitting offers a golden opportunity for us to temporarily part ways with our cherished van and extend our love and care to others.
We're enthusiastic about becoming caretakers of your beloved pets and home while Yeti embarks on new adventures of its own.
Both of us have had pets before, and our affection for animals runs deep. I, Camila, am an unabashed cat enthusiast and a plant lover. Cats and plants hold a special place in my heart. In contrast, Andy's heart belongs to dogs, and he cherishes every tail-wagging moment spent with them. Rest assured, we will attend to your house and furry companions as if they were cherished members of our own lives.
I work from home while Andy goes to a worksite every day. I will ensure your house remains clean and tidy, and your pets will keep me company in return.
As an added bonus, my passion for photography shines through. If you desire it, I'll capture breathtaking moments, creating lasting memories of your pets and home.

Warm regards,
Camila & Andy

Camila and Andy took care of our boistrous dogs and chooks for 3 weeks on a large property. We came back to find them well-fed and happy. Camila and Andy also unexpectedly cared for a new chick born on their watch! The house was ckeaner than we left it and we would recommend them to others. Thanks for caring for the house and animals so well :)

we had great communication with Camila and Andrew while we were away and our dog Molly was well cared for the 24 days . The house was tidy when we got home and the lawns were mown . We would recommend Camila and Andrew as they are trustworthy and kind people.

Camila and Andy were nothing but amazing. The communication we had was great, getting many pic updates of our fur babies. We were able to go overseas and not worry about a thing. They even took one of our pups to the vet when needed. We came home to happy animals and a clean house. We would definitely have them stay again!

Such a beautiful couple, we are very lucky to have found them. They looked after our precious Border Collie for 2 weeks and he adored them. They were attentive to all the information I gave them and looked after him as if he was their own. They took great care of the home and our garden/vegetables. Awesome communication and organisation. Trustworthy and kind. Thank you so much for enabling our holiday to be relaxing without worry.

Camila and Andy are a lovely couple. They looked after our house, garden and pets for a week. The communication was excellent - updates, photos and videos. The house was clean and everything we had requested was done. We came home to happy pets, a dog and a cat. I recommend Camila and Andy as house sitters and would be happy to have to have them here again. Also happy to give a phone reference. I think Wills, my cat is even more snuggly than before we went away...!
 
JEANETTE (Christchurch Airport , Dec 2023 - 6 nights)
We had Camila and Andy housesit for us for a week. They looked after our foster for life dog Kane. Camila and Andy are super lovely people. They had great communication while we were away and there were a few hiccups, but we were able to resolve them either with a message or wee video chat. Our boy Kane had a blast. He probably got much more attention from them than we give him. They even took some incredible photos of him. He was just so happy. Camila followed my instructions on feeding ... MORE

Camilla and Andy provided exceptional house-sitting services for us, taking care of our 3 dogs over a month-long period. Their genuine love for animals was evident. Our dogs were well-fed, and enjoyed regular walks, ensuring they remained active and happy. Communication was a key strength throughout their stay. Camilla and Andy kept us updated, sending regular photos that brought great comfort and reassurance. Beyond their pet care, we were very happy with the way they looked after our ... MORE
