Andrew & Gabriele

Kia ora, we are Andrew and Gabriele, Kiwi beef and sheep farmer and his German partner ( me living here for past 20 years. Both very practical minded, nonsmokers! We ourselves have had regular house/ farm sitters on our place taking care (since 2018) when we as a family went on holidays. Now our two children are teenagers (almost adults) and prefer their own holiday arrangements, as well as taking care of the farm together, allowing us to do some short-term traveling as a couple. Being a farming family, we are used to all sorts of animals, at home we got 5 farm dogs, 3+ cats, 2 Flemish rabbits, one guinea pig, sheep, lambs, goats, cows and calves. We enjoy staying on different places all over NZ, often finding new locations by chance 😊. Having been on the receiving side of the kiwi house sitter service, we are curious and excited to enjoy the service from the other side and help others to get off into their holidays, knowing someone takes care of their home and animals. Added some photos of us (we are not models🤔, 2 show our girl- she and her brother are grown into our own house sitters now, also some of our pets/ workers. Ps as reference we could provide feedback of people who stayed/ housesit at our place, or air b n b feedback of us having stayed at other people's place, if needed!
