We are a responsible couple who both work from home, along with our kind and caring 12-year-old daughter. One of us works full-time while the other works part-time. We have lived in our home in Hamilton North for nine years, and we originally hail from South Korea.

We have experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, rabbits, sheep, cows, goats, and we are particularly fond of cats. We are also skilled in plant and garden maintenance. Our flexible schedules allow us to spend quality time with your pets during the day if needed. As non-smokers, we take pride in maintaining a clean and tidy environment and are happy to keep in touch through text, email, or WhatsApp, sending pet photos if desired.

As new homeowners, we promise to treat your home with the same respect we give our own. While we appreciate our comfortable and convenient house, we miss having green space in our newly developed area.

Our daughter is warm-hearted and dreams of living with all kinds of animals. While we haven’t adopted more pets yet, we enjoy caring for yours. She has dedicated six months to researching cats and dogs, filling two notebooks. Afterwards, we adopted a tabby cat.

Our cat is 3 years old, 4 kg, de-sexed, fully vaccinated, up-to-date on flea and worm treatments, and completely house-trained. He spent the day outside and slept inside on the floor at night during previous sittings. We can have a sitter in my place if the driving time is over five hours.

You can rest assured that your pets will be in safe hands during your absence.

Over the Christmas period, we were very fortunate to have Joon and his family come and house-sit for us. We were immediately put at ease leaving our menagerie of animals and property with them by their calm and caring demeanour. Over the time of our holiday, the communication was excellent and we received regular updates including photos showing very happy animals receiving lots of attention and love. On our return, we found the house to be tidy and had content animals. We would love for ... MORE

Thanks to you, we were able to spend this time with our cat, and we're truly grateful. We already miss the funny dog, Cody.
Joon and Jay were absolutely lovely. Our wee Rosie and Pixie seemed so happy with them. We felt very lucky to have them staying. The communication was amazing - sending photos and updating us - we so appreciated this. It gave us peace of mind. Thank you so much!!!

Having Joon & Jay take care of our pets meant we could enjoy our holiday without worrying about anything at home. They were so friendly and respectful. We returned to find our house immaculate and our pets happy and content. They gave us regular email updates which was fantastic! I have no hesitation in recommending Joon & Jay to anyone and I would happily have them back to care for our house and animals again.

You have a most beautiful lake view house in Rotorua. We enjoyed it every moment. Thanks a lot.
Joon & Jay were reliable & trustworthy. They did an excellent job housesitting our home. They left our home tidy & clean & would have no hesitation in having them return. Thanks Joon & Jay.
