Xime & Jose

Hello!
We are Xime (Marketing Professional) and Jose (Journalist), and just like you, we share a deep and great love for animals.
We are a couple of travelers who are currently fulfilling our dreams by getting to know New Zealand. We had to leave our little family member, our kitten, with my mother, for a while. We miss her very much, so caring for and giving love to other animals helps us feel closer to her. And currently we are enjoying the company of beautiful animals, necessary to recharge our energies. We are also fascinated by knowing the stories and personalities behind each pet, as we learn more and more to grow as pet sitters.
We have extensive experience in caring for these incredible creatures, such us kittens, puppies, hamsters, chickens, ducks, doves, lambs and even a horse.
In New Zealand, through the TrustedHouseSitters app and the Kiwi House Sitters website, we have been caring for wonderful pets for 6 months in almost ten homes of families we have been grateful to meet.
Throughout our beautiful life experience (more than 10 years) taking care of animals, the most challenging and rewarding thing was dealing with Jacinta, a mare who did not like to be alone, since she went from being in an equestrian club, surrounded by many people and other horses, to a field . where she was the only mare. We were able to give her emotional support and the company she needed. On the other hand, we took care of four kittens that had been abandoned and needed a lot of love and especially medical care. We had to provide them with antiparasitics and medicines for feline herpes. We are available for video calls if you would like to meet. Thank you for reading us and good luck in your search.

Lovely couple who looked after the animals and house beautifully. The house was left lovely and very tidy and clean. All animals very happy on my return. Communication was great and photos of walks with dogs and outings sent to me which was lovely to see. Would highly recommend and love to have them back.

10/10 Housesitters!!! Highly recommend! Ximena & Jose housesat and looked after my cat for nearly 4 weeks while I went on holiday outside of New Zealand. They are fantastic housesitters and looked after both my cat and house professionally with care, and made my holiday stress free to know that everything was being looked after and was in good hands. I received photos and messages throughout my holiday so I was able to see that my cat was very happy being spoilt will all of the love and ... MORE

Ximena and partner were amazing. Even though they weren't strong in english they made huge efforts to understand exactly what we needed of them. They sent us update photos even though it was a short house sit, and took amazing care of both our animals and our home. Highly recommended

Highly recommend. I'd have Ximena and Jose back in a heartbeat. Communication was great- they asked questions before the sit as well as kept in touch during. My dog and cat were relaxed and happy and very well cared for. House was very clean and tidy. No problems whatsoever. Lovely people. Ximena and Jose were my first house-sitters and they have set the bar high 😊.

These guys are amazing! They are an incredibly nice and considerate couple who looked after oour house and dogs as if they were their own and baked us an awesome lemon tart to welcome us home! Without a doubt the nicest, kindest and most caring of housesitters. Their communication was excellent. They most definitely deserve a five star rating!
