Our home

Hi we are in Parklands, Napier.
Looking for someone to look after our dog from 22 December 2026 to 4/5 January 2027.
He is a rescue and loves company, loves to sneak on to your bed, so we can not leave him home alone.
Watering a few plants would be great.
Quiet safe neighbourhood, pool (not the flashest but a lifesaver in the heat lol), kingsize beds,
If you are visiting here for extra days outside of these dates, we’re happy for you to stay with us.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

Supermarkets, walkways, parks all nearby.

About us

person Tracey

We are a mature working couple with our own home, and one very spoilt rescue dog. He went to the kennels once and came home distraught, so we prefer to have him looked after at home.

Review

Tracey and Kev were excellent communicators from the outset, and gave me a very warm welcome to Napier, making sure I had a run-through of everything and clear written instructions also. They gave me loads of advice on what to see and do in the area, as well as tips on my next journey south! They have a beautiful, clean and comfortable home which was a pleasure to stay in. I fell in love with Raffie immediately. He is the most loving and gentle soul, and I thoroughly enjoyed our daily ...

I can highly recommend Tracey, Kev and Raffie!
