THE FUR BABY CARERS

RETIRED

RETIRED

Terry & myself are active retirees who love animals, any animals.
We live in beautiful Kerikeri ........ we don't at the moment have fur babies so enjoy taking care of other people's. We are also volunteer dog walkers for the SPCA. Over the years we have had dogs, cats, birds, hens and sheep.
You can be assured that we will take good care of both your home and your pets as if they were our own.
We have excellent references (see below) from several house sits we have done in the past.
Feel free to contact us at any time.

We have added a few photos of our own home.

To whom it may concern.
Terry and Barbara are the best house-sitters you could wish for. We found them totally responsible and the house and garden were in perfect order when we returned from holiday.
Our special concern was for our two dogs, one of them quite elderly, and they were extremely well looked after and thoroughly spoiled. We would definitely recommend Terry and Barbara to anyone wishing to leave their property in good hands.

To whom it may concern
Barbara & Terry house sat and looked after our two miniature Schnauzers for 3 weeks while we were overseas.
We cannot recommend Barbara & Terry more highly, our house was kept in fantastic condition, and everything was perfect for our arrival home.
This is our first experience of having people we did not know move into our house and look after our wee dogs, with wonderful people like Barbara & Terry you can rest assured that everything will be fine when you arrive back home.
Barbara & Terry made us feel very comfortable in the knowledge that our house, contents, and most importantly for us our dogs were going to be well cared for.
From our first meeting the day Barbara & Terry arrived we knew we had chosen great people, trustworthy, friendly, and what a great job they did, we arrived back home and it was as though we had never left home, that for us was the mark of two very special people.
While away we kept in contact by Email, which gave us piece of mind, as we have never left the dogs with total strangers, we could tell that the dogs had been loved and well cared for.
Thank you Barbara & Terry you are very special people, and anyone fortunate enough to have you house sit for them will like us be very grateful for doing an excellent and caring job, if 5 stars is excellence, then we have to say our rating is SIX plus.
Please feel free to email or phone if you would like to contact us or want a verbal reference.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

We were delighted to have Barbara and Terry housesit our rural property for a period
of two weeks in September/October 2009. Upon
meeting them we were immediately put at ease and
felt most comfortable leaving our property in
their capable hands.

Barbara and Terry were most happy to undertake
additional farming related activities and our
pets, Basil, Tammy (cats) and 'the chooks'
seemed almost sad upon our return, due to the
high standard of care and attention they
received!

On our return, our house was immaculate (didn't
stay so for long!) and we felt sad at fare welling our
new friends.

Barbara & Terry are my 2nd experience of house/pet sitters and I can only sing their praises. On return the cats were so relaxed and happy, it was clear they had been well cared for. It was such an easeful experience for us, perhaps less so for them with illness striking Terry which was unfortunate. I would definitely recommend Barbara & Terry as excellent sitters.

Barb & Terry looked after our furry girl and our home and did an excellent job of it. We came home to a clean house and a happy girl (still got a telling off though!). Communication was excellent too; nothing like a text or three to reassure you that all is well in your absence. We would definitely recommend them, and have them back!

The first time we have tried using house sitters and we were lucky enough to find Barbara and Terry. From first communication they were friendly and helpful and when we met them for the first time we knew they were a great choice. They looked after our home and animals (cat, chickens and sheep) for two weeks and were also happy to take care of the garden. When we returned everything had been so well taken care of with an immaculate house - thank you! I'd recommend Barbara and Terry to anyone ... MORE

Barb and Terry are the perfect house sitters. They took wonderful care of our birds (and our cockatoo is very picky with humans), our plants were thriving when we returned and our house was very very clean. They communicated well und responded quickly.

Safe house!

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