Joshua & Caz

42, Writer/Director

39, Artist & Ceramicist

We are seasoned travellers, experienced house and animal sitters and very considerate carers of home and inhabitants, 15 years in on our journey together.

Joshua grew up on a farm on Great Barrier Island and Caz has worked with Lonely Meow rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming cats, including our two beloved late cats Mushroom and Simon.

Between the two of us we have a wide range of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes including: professional dog walking, farm-sitting; taking care of Cats, Dogs, Goats, Cows, Chickens and Horses; feeding, minding, medicating, repairing Water Troughs and doing fence rescues etc; and rescuing, rehoming and releasing wild cats, birds, and a bali dog.

We live and work in Miramar Wellington, Caz is an Artist and ceramicist with Wellington Potters Association and Joshua is a Writer and filmmaker.

Adventuring, learning and staying curious make for treasured experiences for us and we love to make friends of both the human and 4 legged kind where ever we go. When we are settled in a home, we are quiet, contemplative, artistic people who love enjoying tranquil environments to reflect, write, enjoy good food and play guitar ...if there is one handy :)

We are very empathetic, honest and approach everything we do in life with a high level of integrity and consideration for the environment around us and we care deeply about the well being of animals, taking our obligations to the furry creatures of the house very seriously.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like more info.

Cheers,
Josh & Caz.

Josh and Caz were awesome house sitters. Laid back, genuine nice people who took great care of our house and Molly. We got plenty of Molly updates with great photos while away. We then returned home to a nice and clean house and happy pup. We've already locked in another house sit with them and highly recommend them.

Caz and Josh have just done a three-week sit for us, and in every respect it has been superb. Smitty and Java clearly loved them - they've been looking very peeved now they are on another sit! And we are delighted with the thoughtful ways they found to look after them, two very different dogs. And the house was embarrassingly cleaner and tidier than we'd left it. We all hope to see them again.

Josh and Caz are amazing hoomans says Merckx (2 yo Lab/GSP). I was loved, fed and walked - we even went swimming most days. My family say that they could not have wished for kinder, tidier and all round good people to look after me, my mate Boonen (giant Flemish bunny) and their house and garden. When they got back from holiday I could see how thrilled they were that the house was spotless, plants well cared for, garden tidy and most important of all, us, the pets were happy. In fact we miss ... MORE
