JANE & MARTYN

I am Currently seeking House sits from 20th February 2024 - September 2024 anywhere in New Zealand. This time I will be house sitting on my own as Jane needs to stay in Australia.
My wife & I are platinum members of Aussie House Sitters & have recently joined Kiwi House Sitters!
We are Jane and Martyn and are experienced full time House/Pet-sitters. We are non-smokers & have been happily married for over 42 years.
After House sitting in Spain, UK & Australia, we understand the importance of what you leave behind, beloved animals and a home/garden in which you invested time and money. We have the experience to proactively provide the companionship, care and structure your pets deserve and also care for your home, gardens, and plants as if they were our own. We take great pride in our integrity, honesty, and reliability.

We currently have our own Facebook group/page with all our latest endorsements & photos together with a video taken in Spain. It is called “Sutherlandshire House & Pet Sitting Services. We also have some photos on Instagram.

Our only daughter owns a business in Caringbah, Sydney & we have now moved over permanently to Australia whilst waiting for our Contributory Parent Visa to be granted. Queue time is currently 8 years.

However, our situation at the moment is that Jane has a Visa to stay permanently in Australia, whilst due to a technicality (because I was in Spain whilst our visa was lodged) I have been asked to go offshore temporarily whilst I lodge another new Visa for permanent residency in Australia. Therefore I am currently looking at securing a long term sit at the moment.

As responsible homeowners both in the UK & in Spain, we have helped to renovate two Apartments into holiday accommodation which has included many years of us successfully running a Retreat, managing guests and housekeeping. Our Home Business called Breakfast at Tiffanies (which we sold in 2019) was on the TripAdvisor Website with 2017, 2018 & 2019 "Certificate of Excellence" awards & all our Reviews were 5***** for our hard work. We have looked after our own Swimming Pool for 18 years and did much of the maintenance & gardening ourselves.
Our experience:-
We have owned & fostered many feral cats & dogs. We have been lucky enough to share our world with Siamese, Balinese, Ragdoll, Birman & Tiffanie cats. We love to walk home owners dogs. We enjoy visiting the parks & beaches.
We really hope you will consider me to be your House/Pet sitter and look forward to meeting you all.
We have up to date police checks & both have clean driving licenses.
Best Wishes
Jane & Martyn.
