Andrew and Caroline

We are very reliable, early-retired pet lovers and have enjoyed numerous house sits over recent years receiving excellent references (all 5 stars). A recent review is below for you🙂

Full details about us are below. We really enjoy sits of 2+ weeks so we can really get to know your pets and provide them with all the love they need. If you feel we could help you, please send us a message and include a bit about your pet(s) and home (photos are much appreciated). We are more than happy to meet with you either in person or, if it works better for you, we can use FaceTime or WhatsApp.

We are New Zealand citizens and as we are permanent house-sitters we can often provide repeat house-sits if you'd like that. We have looked after 80+ domestic pets in the last two years and, as we are home a lot, we are able to follow their routines and put their needs first. We are very keen, energetic gardeners and we like indoor plants too.

We are very trustworthy (police checked and ID verified). We would look after your pets, home and garden with exceptional care, as if they were our own, allowing you to fully relax while you are away. We will ensure your mailbox is emptied and your refuse bins are put out. We always ensure properties are locked up, and alarmed as applicable. We also have experience of pool and spa maintenance.

We are having a 'life re-set' after successful corporate careers and are currently enjoying exploring new places and meeting new people. When not housesitting we visit family or stay in Airbnbs so we always have a 'Plan B' for your peace of mind. We are non-smokers, quiet and very considerate of any neighbours. We lived on a lifestyle block for 17 years so have a real can-do approach.

We always aim to go above and beyond for our pet owners, and hope very much that you will get in touch so that we can provide our exceptional service for you.

Review March 2024

"I would rate Caroline and Andrew as the Gold Standard in house and pet sitters. They recently looked after our house, dog, plants and garden. From the initial contact online, up to and throughout the sit we have had clear, concise and friendly updates as required. We live in a rural setting with solar, water tanks and pumps which have a habit of failing at odd times. Caroline and Andrew had no problem tweaking our system to keep it going. Our socially challenged dog was more than happy in their company and loved the variety of walks, hikes, balls and sticks for his amusement. On return our house was immaculate. The car was cleaned, my pot plants brimming with health and the vege garden in good order. In short, Caroline and Andrew are a delightful couple and we could not have wished for better."
