Agnes+Arvid

39, Researcher and Project manager

40, Social researcher

We are a Polish-Belgian couple spending the European winter down under for the second year running.

Being without animals of our own for the first time in a decade (we lost our elderly cat & dog in 2022), we decided to travel to New Zealand last January and fell in love with its culture and nature. Having spent part of the summer in the pole circle (Greenland), it seemed only natural to venture south again to get our vitamin D levels up.

However, since all this traveling makes it hard to adopt our own pets for now, we would like to fill this whole in our lives by keeping other people’s furry ones company while working from (someone else’s) home.

We both love animal company, and we will make sure to adapt our routine to your pets' needs. Ourselves, we tend to adopt oldies and animals requiring additional care, so we can handle special needs with patience and understanding. We have experience petsitting for a hobby farm in the UK (multiple dogs, cats, goats, sheep, chickens etc). Also, we are avid walkers, so there is no upper limit on how much exercise your dog needs.

We are in New Zealand until mid-March and we work remotely so we can spend most time with your animals.

We felt totally at ease to leave our dogs and property in the care of Agnes & Arvid. From the first initial contact they were communicative and provided updates and photos during their stay. A lovely couple who treated our dogs so well and had true compassion for them. With a keen interest in gardening they loved the garden and being able to harvest from it. The house was clean and tidy upon our return and everything as it should be. We 100% recommend them for any future sits and welcome ... MORE

Agnes and Arvid were great, they were adaptable to fit our schedule and were reliable. Our animals were cared for well and they were great to talk with.

Agnis and Arvid are lovely people and fabulous house sitters. They took wonderful care of our animals and kept us updated with messages and photos while we were away. The house was clean and tidy. Highly recommend them.
