Our home

We are looking for house/dog sitters while we are away overseas. We have two medium sized dogs named Reggie (3 years) & Maggie ( 13 years old) who are well behaved and love walks. We have a two bedroomed house situated in Taradale, which is halfway between the cities of Hastings & Napier. Taradale township is a five minute walk away. Hawkes Bay is well known for its wineries, concerts & beaches. If you are interested in coming to explore our lovely part of New Zealand we would love to hear ...

favoriteWhat we love about our area

Taradale is a lovely small suburb of Napier. The property is within walking distance of town, wineries, restaurants. Taradale has some of the best walking / cycling tracks in Hawkes Bay. We are also only 50 mins from both Napier and Hastings town centres.

AIMI & LAUTARO (Apr 2025 - 1 week)

We had a great experience house sitting for Brett and Glenis. From the beginning, they left clear and detailed instructions, which made everything run smoothly. Their home is lovely, comfortable, and cozy, and they are friendly, relaxed, and easygoing people. Maggie and Reggie are wonderful dogs—very affectionate and full of energy. It’s important to spend time helping them burn that energy through play and walks, but they’re also incredibly sweet and cuddly. It was a joy to spend time with ...

We would definitely be happy to house sit for them again. Thanks so much for trusting us!
