Family of three - happy animal and life lovers

40, Carpenter

30, Stay at home mum

Hi everyone,

We are a tidy caring family of three - Marty (skillful carpenter who likes gardening), Barbara (she loves motherhood, animals and cleaning) and little Viki (one and half year old happy girl). Originally coming from Czech Republic, we are living in New Zealand almost a decade now.

We have house sit couple of friends houses and looked after various animals and gardens. We loved the experience and to see such joy in Viki's eyes to discover the world this way. We have decided to leave the rent, buy a caravan and try a bit of a nomadic lifestyle while house sitting.

We have now completed over 10 house sits and have planty of references from our friends too. We would appreciate you giving us a chance to look after your piece of paradise so we can fill our lives with a new chapter.

Marty, Barbara and Viki looked after our house and dog Jet (Bearded Collie) for 4 nights. They are a wonderful, kind, respectful family. The communication before and during was fantastic with daily updates on Jet, this gave us great piece of mind as we had not left him before. They did a fantastic job looking after Jet especially considering there were fireworks each night. The house was clean and tidy, probably cleaner than we left it. We would 100% recommend them and hope to use them ... MORE

I was very happy with Marty and Barbara as they did a great job looking after my two dogs. They were happy and thriving when I returned. Grateful to Barbara for having the house neat and tidy and the cookies she left for me.

Barbara and Marty are awesome house sitters. They sent little updates every few days and my dog was happy with them. My house was beautifully clean when I got home and they had even done a couple of little extras like fixing a broken cupboard and baking some biscuits. Thanks so much guys x
 
JESSICA (Blenheim South Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Marty, Barbora and wee Viki have been amazing house sitters while we were away down south. The house was well looked after and we loved coming back to a sparkling house. Pets were happy. Our wee dog was well taken care of and the chickens had their water and food . The pot plants survived these very dry conditions. Very happy to have someone doing regular watering. They wouldn't have survived otherwise. Communication right from the very start has been excellent. While we were away ... MORE

What a delight it was to have Barbara and Marty care for our home, pets and garden. It was great to know that their 18 month old daughter Viki was cuddling Sophie and playing with our toys. Marty and Barbara took excellent care of Sophie and the cats and the garden was watered regularly. They are excellent communicators and it was lovely to receive messages and photos from time to time. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we returned from our trip. Some tasty traditional Czech ... MORE

Marty and Barbora were great, they were already sitting in the area so they came by before we left to get the low down of the dogs and the house. They gave us regular updates on the pets while we were away which gave us piece of mind, as we have one needy one! We let them know when we were back and they were all ready and packed and had a quick handover before they left. Would use them again! Thanks again guys for sitting for 3 weeks while we went away on our family holiday. The Hunts

Barbara and Marty were wonderful people. We felt confident that our pets would be looked after and loved while we were away. Good communication and very polite.
 
HANNAH (Motueka South Island, Nov 2023 - 3 nights)
Marty and Barbora were amazing. They are a lovely family and took really good care of my dogs and the house was perfect when I got home. One of my dogs even sat outside their bedroom door after they had left. HIghly recommended.
 
CHRIS (Nelson South Island, Nov 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
Marty, Barbara and their gorgeous wee girl were amazing house and dog sitters. They took such lovely care of Maisie that I hope they are available again in the future when I need a sitter. They left my home absolutely spotless, including the garden, and even did a beautiful job of planting my tomato plants for me. It was lovely getting pictures of them and their interaction with Maisie while I was away, and much appreciated. I can strongly recommend them as respectful and lovely caring people.
 
TERESA (Tahunanui South Island, Oct 2023 - 4 nights)
Barbara and Marty and their little girl were perfect house sitters. They were excellent communicators, before, during and after the housesit. They waited for us to get back and everything was in great order. And they had baked some lovely Czech cookies. We would thoroughly recommend them and would have them back any time.
