Home & Pet Loving Couple 🐶🦄 (Unicorn Certified)

63, Interior Designer/Teacher/Illustrator

59, Retired Bank Manager

Hello!
Janice and I are retired and love traveling. We both adore dogs and cats and know it’s important for you to feel relaxed knowing your pets are happy and your home is safe while you’re away and Janice and I are here to help.
I’m British and my wife Janice is a New Zealander returning home after thirty years overseas. We both love dogs, cats (most animals) and we want your pets to feel cared for, fed and fuddled while their owner is away from home.
We are happy to house sit anywhere in the North Island as we are building a house in Wellington.
We know how it feels to leave your home and precious belongings behind. We will respect your home as if it is our own.

We own a classic two-seater sports car so driving dogs to walking trails, beaches and parks is unfortunately not an option unless you have a vehicle available (sorry). Ideally we are looking for homes in the North Island.

We are happy to send you photo updates of your home/garden and any post, so you don't loose touch with things while you are away. We both love gardening too! In the recent housesits we have restocked the fridge with breakfast supplies and fresh milk so you have something to eat on your return. Just let us know what you like.

We have never smoked, used drugs or have any criminal convictions. Too old for wild parties (just incase you were wondering).
Janice and I love pets especially dogs 🐶❤️

We had the privilege of having Andrew and Janice look after our dogs, cats, and home while we were overseas. They are a lovely couple, and we immediately felt at ease upon meeting them. We returned to a house that was spic and span, and all the animals were healthy and happy. We were even left with food in the cupboard and milk in the fridge. Our Cavoodle had a bad experience with a previous house sitter, so we were worried about how she would cope with Andrew and Janice. However, she was ... MORE
 
HEATHER (Wattle Downs North Island, Nov 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
Andrew and Janice were friendly and very accommodating of my pets needs. Especially one very fussy cat. I came home to a clean home, happy pets and some garden work completed which was a lovely surprise. I would recommend Andrew and Janice for any house sitting requests. Their communication was excellent before the housesit and when they left they wrote a detailed page of notes for me to give me an update on my return. I would welcome Andrew and Janice to look after my home and pets again ... MORE

Andrew and Janice did a beautiful job looking after Indie amd our home. Indie was happy and calm upon our return, and the house cared for. They were lovely to deal with and I would absolutely recommend them. Thank you guys!
 
CAITLIN (Arkles Bay North Island, Oct 2024 - 3 nights)
Andrew and Janice minded our pets and property for a period of 2 months while we were in Europe. They were amazing and cared for our pets and property as if it were their own. We came home to find the house immaculate and our pets well looked after. I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and Janice to anyone wanting their house minded for any length of time.
 
ROB AND CLARE (Algies Bay North Island, Aug 2024 - 2 months)
Would certainly recommend. House and pets well looked after. Came home to a few staples left in the fridge, and some lemon curd made with lemons from my tree. Thankyou.
 
MARIA (Cambridge North Island, Aug 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Janice and Andrew were wonderful house sitters and I can highly recommend them. Communication prior to sit was excellent and they were able to come and meet us before we went away. Our pets were very spoilt with our dog having daily beach walks. We came home to a very tidy home, home cooked apple cake and some very happy and settled pets. They made going away for our holiday a very easy and relaxing process knowing our home and pets were in great hands. Thanks so much Janice and Andrew, your ... MORE
 
NICOL (Papamoa North Island, Aug 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Totally outstanding sitters. Andrew and Janine went above and beyond our expectations and we arrived home to a spotless home and very happy dogs. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Delightful people and we will remain in touch.
 
SHELLEY (Masterton North Island, Jun 2024 - 2 months)
Janice and Andrew looked after our dog and home for three weeks. They were superb. So easy to communicate with. Our dog was very well cared for, our home was treated like their home and we came back to a beautifully clean house with loads of food left in our cupboard. Highly recommend this lovely couple.
 
SUZANNE (Te Pahu North Island, May 2024 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Thank you Janice and Andrew for looking after our home, garden and our wee feathered and furry family. We would be happy to recommend you for further housesit positions.

House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
