Well I've been traveling both inside and outside of the United States for about 10 years now and l'm looking to continue this journey. I've lived in 8 states and 2 countries and I've loved every moment of it. I've held a job since the age of 15 and don't think I'll ever stop working, maybe work less though is the goal haha. We both currently live in Auckland, New Zealand and I work in restaurants as a manager and she works as a caregiver. We are both very respectful of peoples feelings, belongings, property and space. I think we would be perfect for house sitting and hope to possibly house sit along the way seeing as it would be beneficial to both parties. Always willing to talk and give more information and hope to hear back from you all!!! 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

My husband (Boris) and I have been living in Kingdom of Tonga but are relocating back to New Zealand Dec 2020. We built our off-grid home and business www.tongabeachhouse.com 13 years ago so are used to living remotely and resourcefully. We have dogs, cats & chickens and have even fostered hawksbill turtle hatchlings and an orphaned flying fox! Our garden is a mix of fruit plantation and organic vegetables so I'm used to taking care of a variety of plants. Boris has built all 3 of the houses on the island so is skilled in carpentry, plumbing, electrics - he can help with all forms of maintenance. Living by the ocean we're experienced with boats, kayaks and moorings. We both enjoy keeping busy! We're currently looking for house/pet sitting opportunities in New Zealand from 22nd December - we are flexible with start and end dates but are ideally looking for something mid-long term.

We are two extremely happily married, recently retired Kiwis
who love life and enjoy the challenge of doing something a bit different. Our
motto is �Life is too short to simply exist!
Get out and do something interesting�.
We�ve done the hard work and are now looking forward to enjoying the
fruits of our labours. As we are
recently retired, we have limited previous experience in house sitting but many
and varied experiences in life. Some of
the more interesting things we have done over the years include, cheffing on
yacht charters in the Whitsundays, maintenance of a motel in California,
minding a small resort on Fraser Island, living in and maintaining a trailer
park in Washington! We are completely
trustworthy and honest, reliable people with respect for other people�s property
and their space. We have vast combined
experience in all aspects of home and property maintenance.
