Hello I’m Brigid!
My partner Josh and I arrived in New Zealand in June 2023 and are so excited to explore this beautiful country. I am 29 and my partner of 8 years is 30. We are both from Yorkshire, England and both work remotely in software - this means we can spend all day pet sitting your animals! We love to be surrounded by animals and since we are working from home, having a pet around really brightens our day! We love to hike and really enjoy having a dog to bring along. Our morning walks give structure to our day when working from home.
Preferably both Josh and I will complete the walks/sits together unless solo is required. My gallery has pictures of the both of us.
We have already competed 3 live in pet sits via different websites and have great references for these. During the sits we lived in house with up to 3 animals so far. Looking after dogs, cats and birds. We fed, walked, cleaned up after and gave plenty of love to all the animals. Josh loves to play with animals so they get plenty of attention! When walking dogs we take them on at least an hour a day minimum unless otherwise instructed. When caring for animals we always take our lead from the owners, sticking to all rules laid out. We are happy to be strict - for example with food or getting on furniture - but equally are happy to look after a spoilt pooch who wants to sleep on the bed! For in house sits we are very clean and tidy, always treating other people's homes the same as our own. We can complete any house tasks that need doing whilst you are away e.g. water plant, garden care, sorting bins.
I do not offer home boarding as our property is unfortunately not suitable for pets. Only walking, day care, drop ins and live in sits.
I also have a current DBS check (UK police check).
Growing up with animals ourselves, we are fully aware of the responsibility (and joy!) that comes with looking after pets. They will be loved as if they are ours!
Looking forward to hearing from you :)
Brigid and Josh

What a pleasure to have Brigid and Josh in our home. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies :)
Brigid and Josh stayed at our place for almost three weeks. They looked after animals, house and section really well. They kept in touch and sent updates, offered to help with airbnb next door, dealt with family collecting things, were very clean and I can’t fault anything. It was lovely that Brigid parents were visiting and could stay too. I can’t recommend highly enough. I just hope they aren’t too busy to come back next time we are away.
