More information about this house sitter

Caring, responsible & mature house sitters for your peace of mind.

Hello! We’re a friendly, responsible couple 58/62 from NZ who have been touring around Australia for the past 3 years.

We have many years of home & pet ownership, caring for everything from small, cuddly lap dogs to large, energetic working breeds, cats, birds, fish & rabbits. We love animals of all shapes, sizes and personalities, and we treat every pet with the same genuine care we’d give our own home and pets.

We’re experienced with pets who have medical conditions and are confident giving medication when needed. Exercise and enrichment are also really important to us—we love taking dogs out on walks, whether it’s a gentle stroll for older pups or long, energetic outings for working breeds.

We can also provide short-term, full-service hosting and caretaking for your Airbnb while you are temporarily out of town. We handle everything from guest arrivals and turnarounds to checking your mail and watering your plants, so you can enjoy your trip knowing both your guests and your property are in expert hands.

Steve is retired but enjoys his free time keeping fit and loves tidying the garden and completing odd jobs around the home. I am currently working part time (remotely) for a NZ business which means one of us is almost always home—great news for pets who enjoy company and attention!

You can count on us to be:

• Reliable and communicative

• Extremely tidy and respectful of your space

• Loving and attentive to your pets’ needs and routines

• Experienced with single pets and homes with multiple animals

• Confident giving medication and following special care instructions

We have found house / pet sitting is an ideal way for us to stay in an area like a local with the added bonus of having the company of pets which we dearly miss. We offer a lifetime of experience taking care of a range of pets and would treat your home and pets as if they were our own.

We have excellent verifiable references available as well as a police check for your peace of mind. Read more...
