We are a retired couple, non smokers, now living in Nelson after travelling and living in Fiji for several years.

We can garden, do some maintenance if required and of course give love to your animals. We know how precious your pets are and we respect that, and of course respect your home too.

We had many housesitters looking after our house in Fiji and darling dog while we travelled, so we know what we as home owners expected from sitters. We have had some wonderful sitters and like to be on the other side of this arrangement too.

We are adaptable and quick to learn and we consider it a huge privilege to be trusted to live in someones home and to care for their pets. We will follow your instructions in caring for your pets and your home. We assure you, all will be in good and caring hands should we be chosen to house sit. We are good at DIY and can cope with the unexpected, but always ask the house owner before fixing anything. Gardening is OK too, we have a very small garden in Nelson, but when we were in Fiji we had room to experiment with fruit and vegies.

We lived in Nelson NZ for many years and have now returned permanently, but other locations are good for us too.We have a car in Nelson so transport is not a problem. We dont have pets here because we spend part of every year overseas, between May and October, mostly in Turkey where we have annual house sitting commitments, so are not available for NZ sits then.

Just email us if you need reliable and capable and unfazed sitters, we will respond straight away. We have references from other house sits in Nelson, Christchurch, Sydney, and different parts of Turkey, involving dogs, cats, chickens, horses, ducks, turkeys and even sea gulls! Life is an adventure and a challenge that we enjoy.

Thank you for reading our profile and for considering us. We are happy to send you our references and to put you in touch with referees as you wish.
Hoping to hear back from you. Suzie and Peter

Suzie looked after our dog & home over a long weekend. She has been fantastic, meticulous in taking notes about looking after Barkley with his welfare in mind, so we came back to a spotless house & a very chilled dog (despite Halloween fireworks!) It was super easy to communicate with her & there were no dramas - we would highly recommend her. Thanks Suzie

I can highly recommend Suzie as a pet / house sitter. She was great at communication prior to and during the sit, and took great care of our dog and the house, leaving it clean and tidy on our return.

It was lovely to meet Peter and Suzie. They came over to meet us and discuss the need of house and animals. We compiled a list of things related to all the homely things and Suzie took copious quantities of notes to add to the list. Communication was excellent before, during and after our time away, including photos. Upon our return we found animals and house well cared for. We look forward to having Suzie and Peter back again soon!!

I am so happy we found Suzie. She was so easy to communicate with, super organised and wonderful with our animals. Suzie is clearly very experienced at house and animal sitting and a fabulous woman! I would highly recommend her. Thank you so much for looking after everything Suzie.

We couldn't have asked for a better duo than Suzie and Peter to care for our beloved cat, chooks and home. They are a warm and kind duo who instantly made us confident that all would be taken care of in our absence. I received little daily updates from Suzie and even photos of the animals which was really lovely. We returned home to our lovely clean house with freshly made beds and some sneaky extra touch's which was a real joy for my husband and I and our 2 young kids. The animals concur! ... MORE
