Linda & Doug

67, Retired Secondary Teacher

73, Retired Accountant

We are a retired couple who do a lot of International Home Exchanges.

Because we usually go to Europe or USA we need to provide our house to the Home Exchangers in the NZ summer.
So we do house sitting in those time periods.

We have Police Clearance, are very experienced house sitters/exchangers who pride ourselves on leaving the homes we sit, in an immaculate condition.

We will treat your home (& animals) with the same care we do our own. (We have 2 delightful spoiled cats.)

We can provide references if required.

We would prefer the North Island because of the cost of getting the car across on the Ferry, but are open to South Island destinations.

Cheers
Linda & Doug

Linda and Doug are an honest, reliable couple who looked after our house and cats for several weeks last summer. The cats were thoroughly spoiled and were in excellent condition when we returned, as
was the house.
They are experienced house sitters.
We recommend them without reservation..

No rating Our farm was a welcome home for Linda and Doug while we were away. We were very happy to have them stay and look after all our animals and our truffle dog, Jed, adopted Doug as his second Dad. Many thanks for all your help and good luck with future farm or house sits.

Linda and Doug are amazing house and pet sitter’s. Great communication and “old school” values when respecting your property. Our fussy cat loved having them here. We HIGHLY recommend Linda and Doug to any prospective people looking for caring sitters.

After a previously bad house sitting experience, I was very pleased with Linda and Doug. Communication was great and I was assured great care would be taken of my animals (dogs, cat, rabbits, fish and mice!) and my house. When we met they took notes on what we discussed which was very reassuring also! It was lovely to return home to a clean house, and happy, healthy animals ! Thank you so much, and can totally recommend Linda and Doug to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their ... MORE

No rating Linda and Doug house, pet, and garden sat for us while we were away in Aussie for 9 days. We came home to a tidy house, happy and well fed animals, and the garden nicely watered. We'd be happy for them to come and stay again next time we go away if they're available :-)

No rating Linda and Doug did a great job of getting to know our place and pets and looking after them well in our absence. They dealt with various farm issues and a vet visit and kept us informed along the way. They are totally trustworthy and competent house sitters, and we're still enjoying the lettuce they planted for us. Thanks Linda and Doug.

Safe house!

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