Our home

Our pet is a gorgeous 4 year old Vizsla, who loves lots of action and exercise.
Fortunately we are surrounded by many walking tracks, which are accessible only a few kilometres away from where we live.
We live in a rural area, on a hilly 3 hectare lifestyle block,with gorgeous views of Hawkes Bay. We graze cattle and the remaining land is planted in native trees.
Napier, Hastings and Havelock North are all a 15 -20 minute drive.

Fortunately we are surrounded by many walking tracks, which are accessible only a few kilometres away from where we live.
We live in a rural area, on a hilly 3 hectare lifestyle block,with gorgeous views of Hawkes Bay. We graze cattle and the remaining land is planted in native trees.
Napier, Hastings and Havelock North are all a 15 -20 minute drive.
The house is surrounded by garden which, as it will be winter when we’re away, will need minimal care, but there will be outdoor pots and indoor plants to water.
We live 5 minutes drive from Haumoana Beach, Elephant Hill and Clearview Wineries.

Unfortunately we couldn't make the house sitting because of Jo's health issues. We hope that you are much better now and we expect to make it happen the house sitting in the near future
Jo and Pete were great, easy to chat with and very welcoming with a lovely meal on my arrival. Their home is absolutely awesome, very modern, with amazing gardens and a spectacular view, plenty of vegetables, and friendly neighbours, private and secure. Nico was a pleasure to look after, he was very cuddly and loved going out to the river or the beach, he would follow me on bike rides and on the quad bike, and he can play fetch forever. He was great in the car, never a problem with other ... MoreJo and Pete were great, easy to chat with and very welcoming with a lovely meal on my arrival. Their home is absolutely awesome, very modern, with amazing gardens and a spectacular view, plenty of vegetables, and friendly neighbours, private and secure. Nico was a pleasure to look after, he was very cuddly and loved going out to the river or the beach, he would follow me on bike rides and on the quad bike, and he can play fetch forever. He was great in the car, never a problem with other dogs and very obedient, we became good buddies. I wouldn't hesitate to house sit for Jo and Pete again, its easily my favourite house sit ever! Thanks Jo and Pete. 🙂

We absolutely loved House Sitting Nico for Jo. We had the best experience and could not have wished for anything better! Nico is the sweetest dog, listens incredibly well, he's full of energy and an absolute character. The life of the party! We went on many walks and loved exploring the area with him! We miss him dearly already! Their house is amazing and incredibly conformable. We would recommend Nico and Jo to everyone considering a house sit with them!
