Specialist Senior SitterJonty: 60s, Retired international traveler and handyman Hi, I'm Jonty. In short with this housesitting thing, I'm having the time of my life. I'm showing as new to this website, but I have three years of experience with kiwihousesitters having 37 housesits there.I will house-sit for as little as 2 days. I'm a specialist house-sitter/pet-sitter. I'm a cheerful widower, a non drinker and non smoker.I take pride in leaving your property at least as clean and tidy as I found it. I will spoil your pets as if they were my own.I've done lots of house-sits mostly in and around Auckland, Warkworth, Whangarei, Bay of Islands, and the Far North.I have my own basic home in Whangarei (Memorial Drive/Parahaki area), where I have a painting and wallpapering project making some progress. For me, house sitting gives me the occasional chance to relax, to see some sights, and to watch if you have Sky or Netflix.I have a rural background and lots of world travel to ... read more
Hi everyone,My name is Ana and I've recently submitted my PhD thesis at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. I've been a housesitter for over 5 years now, in Australia, Samoa and mostly in New Zealand while completing my degree. I'm currently in Tahiti and will be traveling around for a few months. I absolutely love housesitting and I take it seriously as a job. I spend plenty of time at home (studying, reading and writing), making sure the pets aren't alone. If the pets usually sleep with their owners, I let them sleep in my bed too. All my experiences so far have been really positive and I've loved every single one of the pets I looked after. I take care of them as they were my own/ I also keep my environment tidy as it keeps my mind tidy as well. Here's the link to my Kiwihousesitters profile, since I haven't done much housesitting through other websites, so most of my references are on it - https://www.kiwihousesitters.co.nz/house-sitter-pet-sitter/amaark77 ... read more

Greetings homeowners, No doubt you've read a bunch of other profiles all saying how trustworthy and responsible they are. As well as their long history of experience with house sitting and pet minding. We have all of that and don't want to harp on about it. You'll see it very quickly when you first chat with us :) What we do want to tell you about, however, is our goals and desires over the coming years. We are absolutely obsessed with animals! We enjoy nothing more than spending time with them because of the happiness and joy they bring to us. Over the coming years, we have a dream to buy a house and are currently saving hard for a deposit. Once we manage to do that, we will get all the little fur babies of our own! The list is fairly extensive. A husky, a spoodle, a samoyed, a chowchow, a cat, a few bunnies and maybe even a duck. Yes, we are clearly a bit crazy!!This is why we love house sitting so much. Not only do we get to spend time with animals whic... read more

I have lived in three different countries & lived & worked on a dairy farm for many years. I have had large dogs, mostly german shepherds, a Siberian husky, 4 cats, 3 horses, goats & sheep, also farmed pigs in Europe. I love animals, so your fur babies would be well loved. read more
I am a Kiwi professional who is reliable and great with animals.You can count on me to keep your house safe and clean, your garden looked after, and your animals cared for.I have been house sitting professionally for about one year and have excellent references, most recently caring for a grand Victorian 6 bedroom villa in the centre of Auckland. I used to have my own dog, a bichon cross, who I loved walking and caring for. I miss him, so looking after your pets would be a delight. I prefer longer housesits but will definitely consider shorter ones.I look forward to hearing from you. read more
Hi we are Anne and Owen Brider. We are a couple in our mid-50's and are returning to NZ for me to take up a National Facilities Manager role. I will be working typically 9-5 but my husband will not be working initially so will be able to be at home with pets as required. Owen is a keen gardener and has been working as a pool technician and all around gardening guru while here on the Gold Coast. We both absolutely love animals and would look after your pets with care, kindness and of course love. We would love to walk your dogs, take them out riding in the car (if that's ok with you), take them to the park and beach and wherever else we may go. Cat's are awesome too, although not so keen to go riding in the car we would love and pamper them just the same. We have had dogs and cats our entire lives, prior to leaving Auckland to move to Australia we also had two pigs and two goats along with three cats and two dogs so are fully pet tra... read more
John and I are now retired, prior to retirement John was a pilot and I was involved in IT. We have two children aged 21 and 19, who are now starting out on their own careers. The other two members of our family are our rescue dogs Meeko and Kobi. John and I both love all types of animals, our previous pets have included cats, dogs, lambs and horses. We are also both passionate about travel. Our other big interest is sailing, we have spent a number of years exploring the world on our yacht.My husband and I have spent the last seven years sailing our yacht from Turkey back to New Zealand and we loved every minute. It has given us a chance to explore many exciting places and meet and make friends with some amazing people. As our two children are now grown up, but still living in our family home, (they won’t leave our two dogs Meeko and Kobi), John and I wish to continue exploring New Zealand and the rest of the World. House sitting allows us to continue our travels, while also fore fillin... read more

Rural House Sit Specialists
Ian & Heather: 69 / 63, Retired
If
you have a farm or lifestyle block, you know it's not easy to get away for a
break!
Most house-sitters are lovely people, but they're not "farm sitters"
and don't know how to move stock or check fences, troughs and irrigation.
Ian is a farmer's son, qualified in Agriculture and Horticulture, has extensive
experience with all types of farm animals, including working dogs, and is
competent with all types of farm and garden machinery.
Heather, also from a farming background, has owned horses and ponies and loves
caring for and exercising dogs and cuddling cats.
We're non smokers, physically fit and enjoy excellent health. We'll look after
your pets, livestock and property as if they were our own.
As long term property owners, we've had some wonderful house sitters who looked
after our pets, garden and house, enabling us to travel overseas regularly.
Recently retired, we've now become hous... read more

We, Sue & David, are a mature couple who own a large property in the hill country of New Zealand. We have a farm (beef cattle, a horse stud which our son & daughter-in-law own, and a sheep farm which is leased to a younger farmer). We also have a successful farmstay/fishing lodge business which can host up to 22 people per night. Now that we have retired from the sheep farming (though not the cattle) David has become the gardener on our 4 acres of garden. The lawns take 5 hours a week to mow, on a ride-on mower!Sue is the chef for the guests, and we all work in the cleaning and maintenance of our 2 holiday houses and our in-house accommodation. So we are well used to ensuring that everything is kept clean and well organised. In the New Zealand winter, we take people on guided tours of Europe, as we speak French, German and a little Italian. We would prefer to house sit in Europe, and in the months from June to October. We have been travelling to Europe nearly every year fo... read more
