Hello, we are Les & Lorraine. We are both fit, energetic, healthy and non smokers semi retired couple .

We are now living back in Tauranga after having a business in Lower Hutt for 8 years . We are very house proud and will treat your home and pets as if they are our own.

Les is a self employed chartered accountant who continues to work from where ever we are .Lorraine is semi retired, with a couple of part time roles caring for the elderly and driving special needs children to and from school. .

We lived in Te Puna on a life style block for twenty five years, before moving to Wellington for eight years and now we have been in Omokoroa for the past three years.

Prior to o moving to Lower Hutt Lorraine worked at a local motel and on numerous occasions managed it while the owners were holidaying, anything from two weeks to two months.

Lorraine has a strong interest in gardening and was mainly responsible for looking after our lifestyle block in Te Puna,

We have a great love of animals ,having had many of our own while the children were growing up.

No rating Lorraine and Les looked after both our home and our Cavalier King Charles dog Henry for two weeks. They were kind and considerate house sitters and looked after both our home and dog very well indeed. We would not hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them.
ALAN AND TRICIA (Bethlehem , Aug 2016)
Lorraine and Les, took great care of our cat Velvet, gardens and our home. It was absolutely spotless. They took the time to send photo's of Velvet enjoying their attention. We would definitely recommend them and hope to have them back again one day.

GARETH (Arkles Bay North Island, Dec 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Lorraine and Les were excellent in every respect. Our house in NZ was in desperate need of TLC and they provided just that and we knew the house was in good hands. We have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
 
ANNONA (Wanaka South Island, Feb 2022 - 10 weeks)
They took the trouble to send us photos of the pets and the garden. The animals were well cared for and the house was well looked after. They got in contact if needed. We highly recommend them.
 
DAWN (Morton Mains R.D. 1 South Island, Dec 2021 - 2 months 2 weeks)
We thoroughly enjoyed our Housesit in Morton Mains . Dawn & Mervs home was very warm & comfortable and peaceful. loved our walks with Matt ( the Labrador ) cuddles with Socks ( the cat ) and steers did what we want the them to do . We would highly recommend this Housesit .
Lorraine and Les looked after both my home and my three fur babies, Honey a Labradoodle, Fifi a Maltese cross, Tiger my cat and some birds in an aviary for one week. They are a very nice and friendly couple. Great communication when I was away sending me regular pictures, so I could see that all my fur babies were happy and contented. They are considerate house sitters and looked after both my home and animals very well. I would not hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them. ... MORE

Feel like I've known Lorraine for ages as she was so friendly.. I could see straight away that she loves animals, my dogs were very happy in her care. House was clean and tidy on my return, I even had freshly picked flowers from my garden in a vase. Highly recommend
 
ANGELA (Omokoroa North Island, Feb 2021 - 6nights)
No rating Lorraine and Les looked after our dog and cat while we were away for 10 days last month. When we returned, the animals had been well-looked after and the dog, in particular, was delighted to see Lorraine when she came to visit after our return.
RIVKA (Greerton North Island, Jul 2016 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating Thrilled with our house sitters Les & Lorraine. Our very spoilt dog Toby got all his needs taken care of. Our home and gardens were well maintained. We would not hesitate to have them both to house sit again in the future.
