Quiet Wil

58, novelist

58, CEO (consultant)

Hi there. My name is Wil, I'm 58 and a writer. My partner Karen is also 58 and a CEO. We have an excellent reputation and contactable references. We are non-smokers/non-drinkers. Have had extensive experience looking after the wants and needs of many a treasured family member: cats, dogs (all and every kind) chooks, sheep, cows, donkeys, a grumpy mule and a one eyed crow named Arthur.

We are extremely quiet and respectful house guests. I'm a full time writer so I work from home. I can provide lots of attention to your lovely friends.
( nothing is more conducive to good writing than peace, quiet and the company of animals)
I am a plumber by trade.

We are a non-smoking/non-drinking have reliable transport, genuine written and verbal refs.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards

Wil and Karen

We were so happy with Wil & Karen, they were wonderful cat/house sitters and I would happily have them again or recommend them on :) They sent update pics of our two happy cats and I even got a pic of my indoor pot plants thriving haha Wil dropped us off to the airport on arrival (with a baby in tow too!). And had offered to pick us up as well. We ended up having to unexpectedly cut the sit short by two days and Wil was so accommodating and flexible which was a relief at a tough family time. ... MORE
 
EMMA (Island Bay North Island, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Wil and his partner did a fabulous job as our housesitters, and we're so grateful for their care. Our cats were clearly very content when we came back home, we loved the regular photo updates and the house was CLEAN and tidy. Wil is very prompt and thoughtful in his communication. In other words: we can highly recommend him and hope that in the future we can call on him again!

We are so grateful to Wil & Karen - they looked after our pets perfectly. Great with photos & news. Would not hesitate to ask them again & thoroughly recommend.
 
PENNY (Khandallah North Island, May 2023 - 2 months 3 weeks)
Will provided excellent care of our cats and our home while we were away for almost a month. One of our cats has special needs, and we were able to rest easy knowing Will was giving him his twice daily insulin injections. The house was clean on arrival, and Will was really good at communication while away. We’d be happy to have him sit again anytime.
 
OLA (Lower Hutt North Island, Apr 2023 - 4 weeks)
Will is a rea gem of a house sitter. The place was clean and tidy, lawns mown and even weeding done while I was away for six weeks. He kept me updated with photos and my cat was happy and healthy when I got back. Thanks Wil!
 
KARLUM (Raumati South North Island, Apr 2023 - 1 month 10 days)
I couldn't have found a more wonderful person to look after my house and more importantly my animals. They are all missing him and I hope he can come back soon. He is also charming and interesting and kept me up to date with photos of the animals every evening. Thank you Wil
 
ANNA (Takapau North Island, Feb 2023 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Will looked after our house and cat vey well. She is nervy but he obviously put her at ease and the photos he sent proved it. He went the extra mile by leaving us milk in fridge upon our return. I would highly recommend him.
 
GWEN (Te Puke North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
Highly recommend Wil. Regular updates with great photos of our cats were a real relief. Came home to a tidy house and cats that were much happier than after the usual stay in the cattery.
 
SARAH (Pukerua Bay North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
We are very thankful to have had Wil as our housesitter. He did a great job looking after our property, Luna the cat, plants, sheep and our 2 chickens. Communication was easy, we constantly received pictures of Luna and reports on how things were going. On our return, the house was tidy the lawns looked great, and Luna was happy. 100% recommend Wil as a reliable housesitter.
 
KARINA (Lake Okareka, Rotorua North Island, Jul 2022 - 2 months 2 weeks)
Communication is Wil's strenth. From his emails, photos, texts and calls, Wil set himself up for a successful housesit and then achieved everything we asked of him. He looked after our home for us very well and we were able to relax back into "life"when we returned home as he had everything ready for us - inside and outside. We highly recommend Wil and hope we can engage him again at another opportunity.

A careful and considerate house sitter who took excellent care of the house and pet. I have no hesitation in recommending him for future house sitting
 
DAVID (Owhiro Bay North Island, Sep 2021 - 2 weeks 4 days)
We were delighted that Wil was able to housesit for us again. He's a great communicator both before and during the sit and we enjoyed the regular updates and photos of our happy animals. Once again, we felt confident that everything was under control and well cared for and came home to a clean and tidy house and very content dog and cats. We like the fact that Wil is mostly home during the day as that's what our pets are used to. Wil even offered to take us to and pick us up from the airport ... MORE
