A Loving Family

32, Rugby Coach

30, Primary Teacher

We love animals and have experience looking after them! When building our new house, we were left housesitting for the majority of a 18month time span so have become very familiar with the demands, expectations and variety of animals.
My wife home is the dog whisperer, and is also the stay at home Mum and homeschool teacher of our 2 girls (5 & 7) and our son (1). Our daughters are very gentle natured, and animal loving! With all our house sitting experience they absolutely love having the chance to spend time with them. We have a dog of our own at home (that we will get looked after while away) so the family is very comfortable around them. My wife in particular is fantastic with pets and has done lots of pet sitting on pawshake and has volunteered at different animal centers.
We are a very quiet sort of family - our ideal night is takeaways and a movie! We just love our family time and enjoying each others company. I am a very active person who has spent many years as a PE teacher and am now a full time rugby coach. I love taking the dogs for walks and getting out and about.
We are both very reliable, organised and careful. We understand it is a big thing to allow someone in to your space and will take our absolute best care. I am handy enough to help with any small jobs around and know my way around a garden!

Kent, Kristy and the girls were amazing. My wee dog was clearly happy with them and they had no problems giving her medications to her. They even washed the towels and sheets which I so didn't expect. Highly recommend them to anyone, they are lovely and took such good care of my girl, So appreciated that they came around to meet with me before coming to stay so I could explain a bit about my dogs meds and show them where things are in the house.

We would highly recommend Kent and Kristy as house/pet sitters. We arrived home from our trip jetlagged to a nice clean and warm home and one very happy dog. Communication was very good in the build up to the house stay and during their stay. 5 stars *****

Truely recommend Kent and Kristy as sitters. They were really kind to our dog and made her walk lots. Really felt reassured leaving the house to their nice family. Everything went really well.

Loved having Kent and Kirsty stay in our place. They took excellent care of our place and most importantly Minnie and Archie. Would recommend to anyone

No rating Kent and Kristy did a great job of looking after the house and dog and I was very grateful for the flexibility in them staying longer due to issues in me getting back into the country. I highly recommend them, and my dog was very well looked after which was an added bonus.

Fantastic house sitters! We loved the photos and updates while we were away. Loki was very well looked after and our house was left nice and tidy for when we returned. Would highly recommend Kristy & Kent!

House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
