Tomás Lacey & Ellie McCreanor

We are a 26 year old couple from Ireland. We have been together for 6 years. We are hoping to travel around New Zealand and experience the culture and beautiful scenery the country has to offer.

I (Tomás) come from a dairy farm in Ireland and as an animal lover have had every kind of pet in my life, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, sheep, cows and poultry. So I have experience with all animals but my favourite being dogs.

We are both missing our dogs at home Penny and Jax so an opportunity to spend time with other pets will be very welcome. Penny is a very energetic, large cross between a German Shepard and Boxer and Jax is a purebred Golden Retriever who needs lots of cuddles, so we are used to dealing with all kinds of dogs.

We are both very clean people and like things to be in their place. We like to socialise but live by 'What’s seldom is wonderful' so we aren’t party animals!

As Ellie will be working remotely and I am currently not working we will be in a position to always be at the property and with the pets.
