Maxe

We are trusted full time house sitters in North Shore and Auckland. 

We are a mature professional couple in our late 50s and 60s (no kids/grandkids). We've used Kiwi Housesitters to look after our dogs when we travelled in the past. Our plans is to start housesitting from early 2020 but pandemic disrupted our plans.

We are non-smokers, considerate, live a quiet life (happy to sit at home and watch TV or read most nights) and promise to take very good care of your home while you're away. We adore animals and would love to look after your small pets. We allowed pets to sleep on our bed.

We had dogs for over 20 years but unfortunately lost our last two (Chopper 12 and Celeste 15) in 2018. We've also had plenty of experience caring for cats as well. We're hoping that house-sitting will give us a chance to reconnect with pets before we decide to have our own again.

Maxe is semi-retired and John is fully retired. Over the years we have been homeowner, business owner, landlord and tenant - and always treat a property with the same TLC and respect whether it belongs to ourselves or someone else.

And if you don't have a pet, we can simply look after your garden or the security of your home.

We like to stay fit and healthy and our hobbies include going for long walks and playing outdoor bowls. We plan to travel extensively in the years ahead and thought that house sitting would be a good option in between our travels.

We have our own mobile internet/wi-fi, laptop and other personal items. We bring our own consumables - food, toiletries and cleaning stuff.

Maxe loves to clean - you won't be disappointed in the state of your house when you return home from your trip.

Please note that we have 2 cars - we will need a free on/off street parking 24/7.

Preferably minimum of 7 nights within 15km from Harbour Bridge.  Maximum of 1 dog and 2 cats. 

We are both vaccinated and can provide references and clean criminal records.
