We both have regular police vetting because I'm a part-time Nanny and Barry is a Cancer Society driver since retiring. He is a keen home handyman and we both enjoy gardening.
You can rely on us to look after your animals and home with the utmost care so you can enjoy your break without any worries. We are available to meet you before you leave so you can see if we are the right fit for your animals and home requirements.
We are both non-smokers.

Carolyn and Barry did a wonderful job at house sitting. There was great communication right from the start. It was lovely retuning to a clean house and happy animals ( sheep, ducks, chickens, cat and dog) My dog was taken out for regular walks and even went in their car for some trips out which I know he would have loved. My garden was well tended to and Carolyn even managed to do some weeding for me, They kindly offered to stay an extra day as there was a chance my trip back was going to be ... MORE

Absolutely recommend Carolyn and Barry - communication was great, kept me updated with everything I needed to know … such peace of mind. They left our home absolutely spotless and fixed up a few issues with the property - huge help! Would definitely have them again in our home

Carolyn and Barry were unfortunately unable to complete our house sit due to ill health, however during the time they did spend at our property our pets, farm animals etc where well cared for and our house left in a spotless condition. We would recommend them for future housesits.
 
SUE & ALASTAIR (Hawarden , Nov 2023 - 3 nights)
How lucky we were to have Carolyn and Barry as our house sitters. Barry had to cope with some very strong winds which blew our animal shelter across the field which he secured with ropes. and sleepers! The dogs are missing them and all the love they shared. Thank you, Barry and Carolyn,

Carolyn and Barry were amazing housesitters, looking after our dogs, sheep, chooks and pigeons without any problems. They left the house spotless and just as we'd left it. We were so happy with them that we have already asked if they will come back to housesit for us again for our next trip away. Thanks Carolyn and Barry.

JEANETTE (Lyttelton RD1 South Island, May 2023 - 6 days)
Carolyn and Barry made contact with us and organised to visit before we left. This was so reassuring knowing that they could see our property and animals. On our return our house was immaculate! So grateful for this and the animals were all well cared for. Thank you

We really appreciated Carolyn and Barry's committment and care of our farm, cows,and sheep. Barry was very conscientous at checking the animals wellbeing and Carolyn excellent communicator. It was lovely to meet them both and hear about their passion for photography. A big thank you.

Carolyn and Barry are a lovely friendly couple with an obvious love for animals. They tackled the task of menagerie with big smiles and everyone was happy! Would recommend ☺️ Thanks guys

It was great having Carolyn at our place. We returned to a happy cat and clean and tidy home. She was very accommodating when we had to change our dates, which was much appreciated. We'd happily have her to stay again.
