Kia ora!
We are a young professional couple and are experienced with several short and longterm house/dog sitting duties under our belts with beloved dogs we now call family. Excellent references available.
Donovan - Associate retail Buyer - RV supplies (40 hours per week with flexibility to work from home)
Tracey - Admin/coordination at museums/art galleries (25 hours per week).
Based in Christchurch.
*Looking for long term dog sitting stays*
We've established longterm relationships with local families who call upon us when long weekends and holidays are looming, knowing they can almost always depend on us to come on over and hang out with your beloved pet in their home environment, thus relieving their stress and yours.
To sum up, we just really love dogs! Go away on holiday or abroad feeling rest assured knowing that your beloved pets are looked after by us, a couple who will treat them as our own. They will become a part of our everyday lives with local walks, beach days, endless conversations about who the "goodest boy/girl" is (surprise, its them), play, pats, utmost care, cuddles and as many photo/video updates as you can handle. We are confident with all breeds, ages and sizes (having looked after everything from Chihuahua's to Hungarian Vizsla's) with personalities to boot.
Donovan is born and bred in Christchurch, and while we're looking to settle in and buy our first home, we'd love to save a bit of coin in the meantime and combine our two favourite things, dogs and house-sitting.
We are clean, respectful, engaging, proactive and respect your home and privacy. When we're dog/house sitting, we do our best to live on the 'surface' so that cleanup is a breeze and things will be as they were when you left. Heck, we'll even water the plants, collect your mail, heckle the neighbourhood cat, leave it all to us.
Our weekends are best spent enjoying local cafes and outings to museums and exploring new places (hopefully with your dog in tow). Because we work hard during the week, our weekends are enjoyed relaxing with Netflix and a new brunch recomendation. Did we mention we love dogs?
Get in touch if you're looking for a warm, friendly and dog loving couple to house/dog sit for you when you're away.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day 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
Tracey and Donovan are the best and if we're ever in a situation again where we can't take our pets with us for a bit, we hope we can convince them to look after them again...
The pair looked after our house, 33kg high-energy and allergy prone Vizsla (3yo) and our cat (9yo) for a month and we didn't have to worry for a second that either wouldn't be in good hands.
There was great communication before and during the stay, including daily updates with photos and videos from their adventures and cuddles. They kept a close eye on our doggo's allergy related issues, gave him his meds and carried out extra measures as discussed.
Coming back both animals were their good old selves and the house was in a clean and tidy state.
Couldn't have wished for anything more, thank you both so much!
Wow what a wonderful couple - the house was clean both dogs were super happy - fantastic communication photos and videos while we were away - only problem is I think the dogs are missing them !!
