Hi we are Colin and Bev a married couple who have worked most of our lives and bought up our family in northland Whangarei . We decided we needed an adventure and travel so left NZ last year and went travelling in Australia which eventually led us to house and pet sitting for family and friends.
We love to travel as much as we love animals as having owned our own beloved pets. With our flexible time schedule we have the ability to combine two of our passions while helping a fellow traveller have peace of mind knowing their home and beloved pets will be well looked after while they are on holiday.
We adapt quickly , are very tidy, honest, trustworthy dedicated and take instructions Very well. We returned from Australia in march this year 2024 after having a great time travelling around and house sitting. We are now planning to do some travelling in and around the north and South Island and wanting to include some house and pet sitting in our travels .

Bev and Colin are amazing house sitters. I was away just over three weeks and returned to a sparkling clean home and car, a happy dog, tidy garden and a delicious roast lamb dinner, chocolate birthday cake, and NZ wine. What a home coming! I would recommend this happy couple to anyone wanting perfect peace of mind while away from home. They contacted me regularly on how things we going, and sent photos of my dog, kept up his medication and even his diet regime. I will be contacting them ... MORE

Bev & Colin were AWESOME❤️ They were punctual, friendly, open, and most importantly kind to our cats and respectful of our home. Colin even fixed the washing line & serviced our vacuum cleaner & Bev cooked us a beautiful dinner when we arrived home. They are trustworthy and reliable. Thanks, Brad & Anne, Nerang

We can't say enough to recommend Beverley and Colin. They were the most fantastic house sitters. They were caring, honest, friendly and super tidy. We have already recommended them to friends and family, We were a bit nervous, but were truly thrilled with the Kiwi House Sitter platform and these two fantastic sitters. Communication was excellent.

Bev and Colin are amazing house sitters. We would have them back again anytime! Our animals were well looked after and loved. We received photo updates and messages while we were away. We came home to a clean and tidy house plus! Notes and chocolates on our beds, dinner cooked, firewood sorted, washing folded and more. We couldn’t have been happier and would absolutely recommend Colin and Beverly: they are kind, trustworthy and genuine people.

Bev and Colin were a delight to have looking after our house and pets. They came weeks earlier to meet us and the dogs, and then stayed the day before we left to see feeding routines and to get familiar with everything. They are a very friendly, down to earth couple who were a pleasure to meet and get to know better. While we were away they were in regular contact and kept us updated on things at home. We arrived home to a spotless house and some very content and well tended animals. They took ... MORE

Great house and dog sitters. We couldn't expect anyone better than them. Jed our dog loved them. They also sent us photos and clips of swimming at the beach and having his own holiday with them. Excellent communication all the way. We will be getting them for us next time for sure. Very very happy with them. Pat and Claire

Well what can I say but these guys both Colin and Bev went above and beyond just house sitting......my dog adored them both, she got spoilt to say the least, so did my cat. Property maintenance was done, fixed, cleaned and well maintained, would highly recommend them both, so happy to have them back when they are not booked. Big thankyou!!! Just amazing friendly couple.
