Craig & Lisa

59, Teacher

58,

Hi, we are Craig and Lisa Donnelly.

(**Only available to house sit in the school holidays**)

A house near a beach (or lake) preferable. We like to walk, swim, a bit of kayaking and just chill out.

We are late 50s. Craig is a teacher at a private school in Cambridge. Craig has been teaching for 27 years. Lisa is at home during the day ( ex nurse).
We own our own home in Cambridge, Waikato.

We are quiet, reliable, trustworthy, non-smokers, and we won't hold parties at your home. We are very conscientious.

We love animals and you can rest assured yours will be much loved while you are away. We are cat lovers. Love big dogs also.

We will keep in contact with you via text or phone to let you know everything is going okay at your home and with your animals.

We have house sat many times before, in town and on farms with all kinds of animals. Craig has experience with sheep and dry-stock. We have looked after cattle, horses, chooks, cats and dogs in the past. We have had cats and dogs as pets ourselves.

Happy to walk your dog if its well behaved in public, or walk it around your lifestyle property/farm. Will water your garden, feed your pets/animals (happy to administer meds) and love on your your cats and dogs.

**Non-smoking home only please **

Looking to housesit for relaxed people in a roomy, comfortable, tidy home. We will leave your home as tidy and clean as we found it when we depart.

We may do a day trip here and there if we are staying for any length of time, but anticipate just relaxing at your home and enjoying time in the local area for the most part.

We don't like to leave dogs at home on their own for too long a time, so would be conscious of that if we went anywhere further afield around the area. Your pet animals will have plenty of company while you are away.

Look forward to hearing from you.
Lisa and Craig

Lisa & Craig are truly amazing! They looked after our house over the Christmas break and looked after everything (house & pets) like they were their own. This was our first experience using a house sitter, we were nervous to start with and did have some shocking applications..... Craig & Lisa stood out for us as Craig is a teacher (police vetted) and their communication was brilliant. Throughout their stay in our house we had updates on the pets and how much fun our dog was having with them ... MORE

Thank you so much Brent :)
Lovely people with communication before, after and during the housesit. Arrived in plenty of time for us to get to know one another and discuss pet and garden care. Spa Pool was perfect on our return. House was left tidy and clean. Wilbur was happy. We were grateful for vegies left in the fridge and a lovely surprise on the kitchen table.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Craig and Lisa housesit for us. Our house was so lovely and clean to come home to, but the best part was knowing our furbabies were in the best care and well looked after. Photos and videos just to keep us updated we're fabulous. A very honest and caring couple, would happily have them back anytime!

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
