Tracey & Marcus

We're Tracey & Marcus, an honest, responsible & reliable couple that have recently sold our lifestyle block on the West Coast & taking some time off work whilst contemplating the next place for our home for just the 2 of us.
The kids have left the nest & we currently have no pets of our own, so we've decided house-sitting is perfect for us right now. This way we can still be in the company & joy of animals, which we can be fully dedicated to, as well as keeping a home & garden maintained to our high standard. We are particularly clean & tidy and only want to house sit in clean & tidy homes.
It also gives us the chance to check out different areas & to get to meet people & their pets :)

We have experience of house sitting for friends and friends of friends, over the years & now through these sites.
Our belief is that the best pet care service is at the pet's home environment where they feel most comfortable & secure, and we acknowledge that they are sharing their space with us.

We've owned our own dogs, cats, horses & rabbits and have walked dogs and fostered cats & kittens for the SPCA.

I've worked with horses as a trek guide & been an animal wrangler on a film set in Queenstown, so I'm competent & confident handling horses & large animals. I've also worked as a teacher-aide & owned my own Juice Bar Business.
Marcus is a certifying plumber/drainlayer with 30yrs experience. He's currently having a wee break from his self-employed business of 15yrs, but he does have his van & tools on hand should you require any plumbing or home maintenance done :)

We're active & healthy, nature loving, quiet living, positive people & we don't smoke/vape or drink, except for the occasional glass of red wine with a nice meal.

Clear communication is important to us & we listen respectively & intently so as to fulfil your requirements.

Having owned our own businesses, properties & pets we understand the need to have your home, garden & pets respected & cared for in safe, loving hands in your absence and we can assure you we take this responsibility very seriously.

We want to make things easy & help in any way we can so that you can thoroughly enjoy your time away & relax with the peace of mind knowing your home & fur babies are in the best hands. We want you to return to happy pets, an immaculately clean home & no stress or having to do anything., and for this reason, we bring our own bedding/sheets/pillows & towels with us to each house sit to save any washing & bed making when you get back.
Being 2 of us we can also include gardening, lawnmowing, house-cleaning, etc., whilst still being fully devoted to your pets.

Thank you for reading all of our profile as it is thorough & we appreciate the time that would be involved in the challenge of choosing the right sitter.
