Kia ora! We are a couple based in Wellington who love animals. We'll treat your pets like family! From walks and playtime, to snuggles and daily routines, we make sure your pets are happy and relaxed while you're away. We would love to have our own pets one day, but for now while we are renting, we are hoping to help take care of other peoples pets!

A bit about Mel - I grew up overseas in Asia, but am originally from Te Whanganui-a-Tara where I have lived for four years. I love to read, bake, and play sports such as volleyball, surfing and skiing in winter! I absolutely adore pets and am always a shoe-in as a pet-sitter for friends when they go away!

A bit about Dan - I grew up in New Plymouth and moved to Wellington 3 years ago. I enjoy playing sports, soccer and tennis, and running for exercise. I've run a couple half marathons and am currently training for another, so a dog to run with is always up my alley! In the winter months I love being up the mountain snowboarding. I work as a pastry chef and enjoy baking at home also. I grew up around lots of cats and a couple of dogs so I have good experience with pets!

We have had experience with many dogs and cats in the past, a range of ages from 3 months - 15 years old. Mel has the option to work from home, and Dan starts early and finishes at midday, which gives us the ability to be as flexible as possible for your pets needs. This also gives the option of Mel entertaining the dogs in the morning, and Dan taking the afternoon shift for a play, or long run/walk. If Mel does need to go into the office in the afternoons Dan will be home. We're flexible to work around what is best! We have house sit/pet sit a number of times in Wellington and have a number of repeat clients we've met using Kiwi House Sitters. Profile and reviews available on request.
