Experienced & Responsible pet and home carers

About this sitter

Hi, we're Barb and Pete, a non smoking, fit & active semi-retired Kiwi couple.
After a number of years house and pet minding in Europe, Asia and New Zealand, we're now embarking on this amazing opportunity again after a gap working back home. We have a love for animals and travel and this is a way to incorporate both as a lifestyle in our later years!

Why they want to house sit

We have always had our own pets but are currently too mobile visiting family around our own country and overseas to have our own. This is an opportunity to look after yours instead as we have a love for animals, a zest for life and love experiencing the sounds, smells & tastes of other cultures.

Their experience

We have been home & pet minding for others over a period of 13 years, 3.5 years in Europe and more recently in Asia and New Zealand. We are houseproud as we own our own home and garden and have run our own airbnb and also a guest house in Portugal. Pete is an expert DIY handy man and has an electrical background.
We are still current members on the Trusted Housesitters website and all our references are on this platform, however click the link on the reference box to view.

What can they bring to the assignment

We bring a love and understanding of animals , reassurance your home and pets will be well cared for, giving you the peace of mind you deserve while you're away.
