Seasoned house sitters and travelers Darryl and Larissa

About this sitter

Kia ora,

We are a married couple from each end of the planet. We met and married in New Zealand, which is where Darryl is originally from.

Darryl: I was born and raised in New Zealand and have spent most of my adult life living abroad. 

Larissa: I am a German who grew up in Russia and has been lucky enough to have lived in New Zealand for over 8 years, where I met and married Darryl many years back.

We both grew up having a family pet, which taught us the values of caring for pets so they do feel like they are part of the family.

Currently, we call Germany home, but we have lived in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Russia and have traveled to many more countries between us. As you’ll see from our photos, we are not too far from animals wherever we are.

Why they want to house sit

Looking forward to spending some time traveling again, meeting and house-sitting for you and your pets soon.

Their experience

Between us, we have experience with most common animals from having had them in our households or spending time on the farm that other family members owned.

We have had some house-sitting experience over the years between different countries during our adventures. If required, we can provide you with a reference from a house-sitting job.

What can they bring to the assignment

We are well traveled and relate well to most people in most places.
