60, Driving Instructor

Hello,

Glenn and I have been house and pet sitting for over three years and although we haven't done loads of 'sits' we've been asked back to the ones we've done - seven times to one home, and three to another, because the owners know we are trustworthy and do a great job. We pride ourselves on doing the best job possible and love getting to know their pets.

We live in Hawke's Bay and have an inclination to DIY projects around our home. We also love our veggie and flower gardens, so for any home we have the privilege to stay in, we are more than happy to keep an eye on your plants to make sure they are in tip-top condition when you return home.

We have two much doted on cats - Hercules is around 16 years old, while George is just young lad of 6.

After 20 years of running my freelance writing and photography business I am mostly retired.

Glenn is a driving instructor - yes, he's very patient and quite unflappable. His contract work allows him to take time off at certain times so we can house - sit, hence we are not always available, but do get in touch to check if we are.

Glenn's nickname is MacGyver because he can fix almost anything. Practical skills are his forte. He'd be a great guy to be stuck on a desert island with because I know he'd be capable of making a shelter out of a palm leaf (almost) and whatever else he could find.

Most importantly, we are both responsible, reliable, clean, and tidy. We look forward to hearing from you. ;-) If you wish to 'meet' us first we can organise this through FB messenger or Skype.

Cheers, Vivienne & Glenn. :-)

Vivienne and Glenn looked after our house, cat and garden beautifully. Their communication was great and included lovely photos of Hotrod. We arrived home to a happy cat and thriving garden. We are happy that V and G are able to house sit for us again in February.

Vivienne and Glenn looked after our two Golden Retrievers and house for two weeks whilst we holidayed in the South Island. Having them at home made our holiday so much more enjoyable because we didn't have to worry about what was happening at home! We received regular updates and photos and they clearly loved our two goofballs as much as we did. They asked questions when weren't sure and even took Bobbi to the vet when an existing skin infection worsened. The house was left spotlessly clean and ... MORE

Oh thanks so much for the wonderful review, Sue - we always like to do our very best to make sure home owners and their pets are happy. :-) :-)
We've felt very fortunate to have Vivienne and Glenn house and cat sitting for us (3 times, now). They're great communicators, are reliable, love the cat, and look after the house well. Glenn even did a repair job on a broken window latch for us, recently. We highly recommend Vivienne and Glenn and look forward to having them house sit for us again.

Safe house!

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