Maren & Ian

Hello! We are friendly, reliable and experienced house-sitters and pet-carers from Christchurch, with extended family in the Nelson area. We have cared for a range of wonderful pets in several house-sitting positions - & can provide excellent references if needed :-) We have 2 older children Charlie & Chloe, 15 & 13, they are Steiner educated, mature for their age and love animals! Our wee fella Luca is 6, a joy to all of us & delights in animals, with whom he is gentle & caring, having had plenty of experience with many different pets. We have a dog and chickens at home, so the children are very confident in animal care and regularly interact responsibly with a range of doggie characters! We love nature & the outdoors and are keen gardeners. Being originally from Europe we're very excited to explore NZ more with our happy brood, and would love to care for your home & animals so you can have a relaxing, worry-free holiday!
