Responsible, experienced and good with animals

About this sitter

I have been traveling extensively for the last 10 years in one form or another. I have been around Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa on a motorbike; I spent 3 years traveling around the USA in a RV and another 4 years sailing and living on a yacht. I have done house sitting in various parts of the world during this period with the longest stint being a 3 month stint in Mexico. For the last 12 months I have been house sitting in New Zealand and Australia. I have done 11 house sits over this period with 11 5 star reviews and you can view my New Zealand house sitters page at: https://www.kiwihousesitters.co.nz/house-sitter-pet-sitter/responsible-experienced-and-good-with-animals

Why they want to house sit

I enjoy looking after your pets and your home while you are away and take this responsibility seriously. I enjoy meeting new people, seeing new places and doing new things - house sitting gives me the opportunity to do so.

Their experience

I have done house sitting all over the world and have done 11 sits in New Zealand and Australia over the last 12 months.

Alan from Thames in New Zealand, for whom I did a 28 day sit said,
"From our recent experience, we wholeheartedly endorse Peter as an excellent house-sitter and pet carer. We could not have wished for a more competent and cooperative person. Peter took immaculate care of our property, tending lawns and gardens, as well as feeding and walking our two dogs and providing companionship during the day. This relationship was evident as he bid them goodbye. Our house was spotless when he departed, and he provided a thoughtful welcome home gift on our return. His communication was frequent and consistent. We will most certainly seek him out preferentially the next time we require such service and have no hesitation in recommending him to others. Peter, we most sincerely thank you and wish you well."

Peter from Whangarei in New Zealand, for whom I did a 7 week sit said, "Norma and I were absolutely impressed with Peter, our housesitter. He drove us to the airport and picked us up at the end of our holiday. The house was spotless, the lawns ( extensive) were mowed ,the laundry washed and dried and put away and to top it off ,a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates with a thank you card left on the table. Our Puss was fat and healthy, the pot plants thriving. We are both so thankful to him and would. count it a privilege to have his continued friendship. He is welcome at our place anytime."

What can they bring to the assignment

I have a fair amount of house sitting experience and I take every house sitting job very seriously. I have travelled extensively and spent some time off the grid which has broadened my skill set and I can cope with most situations even those unexpected ones.
