  • My mom has a small farm, so I lived and grew up in the countryside. When I was a teenager, we had farm animals like chickens, ducks, and geese, which I enjoyed taking care of and feeding. I also took care of a neighbor's three horses for a few weeks. It was summer, so there was no problem with them spending the night outside. I made sure they had water and moved them to different areas.

Chilean who loves pets

36, vet technician/acupunturist

31, caregiver assistant

Hello, my name is Roque Bascunan. I am 35 years old and I am from Chile. I love animals, from pets to insects. I have always had pets at home, and since I arrived in New Zealand, I miss the contact with animals.

I studied veterinary technical and have some experience in this field, such as assisting the veterinarian, giving injections, and performing minor procedures.

I am a calm, responsible, and organized person who enjoys simple things like listening to music, exercising, cooking, and going for walks, among other things. My partner is also Chilean and shares the same interests as me. She is a psychologist but currently works caring for the elderly. she loves cats, dogs and plants, and also she's always had pets in her home.

My English level is intermediate-advanced, and I am continuing my studies.

If you decide to let us take care of your pet, you won't regret it. Thank you for reading.
Cheers.

Roque and Karen are what I would call, "The Perfect House Sitting Couple." They left my house looking immaculate and even laundered my sheets and pillow cases. They also bought play things for my cat Isadora, as well as cooking me an absolutely delicious tasting Chilean lunch on my return. I would very highly recommend Roque and Karen to all future home/pet owners - you won't be disappointed. They are both House Sitting superstars in my eyes. Shane in the Coromandel.

Roque and Karen were brilliant to deal with and we came back to a tidy house and happy animals. They even offered to come back when our flights were delayed. Very happy to recommend them to anybody.

Roque and Karen were absolutely fantastic house /cat sitters. Cleo.,our cat, had clearly been spoiled by them as she was so relaxed when we got home. And our apartment was absolutely spotless! and we could not recommend them enough!
