We are a retired couple (Lawrence is English & I am a Kiwi) who love all animals. We prefer sits in the Kaiapoi, Rangiora, Beach areas & rural North Canterbury but we are open to sitting other areas. We have been pet/house/small holding sitting for 2 years & so far we have looked after mainly medium/small size dogs, cats, chooks, Alpacas, sheep, pigs, ducks etc. We also owned a small farmlet in the past. We are happy to carry out other duties such as picking up post and putting out the rubbish. We will follow your instructions and keep your pets happy (feeding, clean up, play time, walking & basic grooming).
We offer a live-in house/pet. sitting service with a minimum of 2 nights - no maximum @ $35 per night.
We have travelled quite a bit mostly UK, Europe & Australia. We were professional Live In Carers in England - looking after elderly people & their pets in their own home. These were short term jobs (2 weeks at a time) so we are used to keeping peoples houses clean & tidy.
For 10 years we worked as Community Support Workers in NZ before retiring 2 years ago.
We will visit you and your animals beforehand if you are in the Canterbury area.
Rest assured we will follow your instructions, care for your pets and home whilst u r on holiday - giving you peace of mind . We will also keep in touch while you are away sending you updates and photos of your happy pets..
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
