Our home

We are looking for a responsible person or couple to look after our property and pets while we are away in Europe. We have a lovely large house and garden in Greenhithe with a delightful miniature schnauzer named Tess who is fifteen. Tess loves to be walked (we have great walks in Greenhithe) our house borders the horse paddocks and is very close to Wainoni Park where we walk daily. Tess sleeps a lot during the day but is great company cuddling up on the couch every evening.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We love being on the horse paddocks and by the park. Our house is very private. Greenhithe is a stunning place to live you can go north or west to shop as well we have great local amenities.

MATT & IDA (Jun 2026 - 1 month 1 week)

Thank you so much to Sean and Robyn for an unforgettable housesit! Tess, a 15-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, completely stole our hearts and made Mini Schnauzers a favourite breed of ours. She’s very affectionate, and despite her age, curious and delightfully energetic on walks. Caring for a senior pup requires empathy, and tuning into her unique needs was deeply rewarding. Sean and Robyn are dream hosts—supremely welcoming, always responsive, and thoughtful, making sure we were settled ... MoreThank you so much to Sean and Robyn for an unforgettable housesit! Tess, a 15-year-old Miniature Schnauzer, completely stole our hearts and made Mini Schnauzers a favourite breed of ours. She’s very affectionate, and despite her age, curious and delightfully energetic on walks. Caring for a senior pup requires empathy, and tuning into her unique needs was deeply rewarding. Sean and Robyn are dream hosts—supremely welcoming, always responsive, and thoughtful, making sure we were settled and cozy-warm for winter. Their home has such a creative soul, with personal artistic touches, and a serene garden. Greenhithe is a unique gem with horse paddocks close to the house, scenic walks, and a warm, neighbourly community where everyone says hello. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!
