Hello!

We're Mark and Hyeshin, a lively couple from Germany and Korea, now soaking up the beauty of New Zealand as permanent residents. We've got the non-smoker, tidy, and active box ticked, with a massive love for all creatures fluffy and four-legged!

Thanks to our bustling online business, we've got the freedom to work from pretty much anywhere. This makes house-sitting a dream come true, letting us discover new places, meet fabulous people and animals, and sample various lifestyles, while keeping the business wheels turning.

Here's the deal: when you hand us your keys, we vow to treat your home, pets, and even plants with the utmost respect and love. And because we work from home, your little (or big) furry buddies won't feel lonely - a win-win!

Got a garden that needs tending or pets that crave attention? We're your people! Our past adventures include numerous successful house-sits globally, caring for a range of animals and properties, big and small. We dive into each house-sit with enthusiasm and a sense of duty, ensuring you can relax on your holiday, worry-free.

Now, a sprinkle of background:

Mark (48) - Raised in the countryside with a mini zoo (thanks to granddad!) and a keen interest in Philosophy and Computer Science.

Hyeshin (43) - A Seoul native who grew up with two adorable dogs and has a strong background in International Trade and Public Admin.

We aced New Zealand's stringent residency checks, and we're open to sharing our most recent police certificate for that extra peace of mind.

Ready to chat and perhaps share a virtual high-five? We sure are!

Catch you soon,
Mark and Hyeshin

We can't speak highly enough about Mark and Hyeshin. They took amazing care of our two dogs and our home while we were away for 2 months. The regular photos, videos and updates gave us a peace of mind that the dogs were great. One of the dogs had a health issue and they took him to the vet on our request and managed his recovery extremely well. The dogs were in excellent condition on our return and the house and garden were spotless. It showed that Mark and Hyeshin really loved the dogs and ... MORE

Mark and Hyeshin were just fantastic house sitters. We can speak highly enough of there care for our dogs, our property even washing windows and cooking us dinner on our return. We hope we can have them back to sit again. We can't recommend them highly enough. J&N

Mark and Hyeshin were amazing house sitters who went above and beyond all expectations. The house was cleaner than we left it when we returned, all the animals were happy and well looked after and they went out of their way to have some food for us on our arrival. Excellent communication from start to finish Extremely kind, friendly and warm people whom we have now befriended and hope to remain friends with for a long time.

Mark and Hyeshin were brilliant. Totally reliable and great to have around to look after our 5 acre property, cat and chooks. Appreciated the regular updates. Thanks 👍
 
RITA (Takaka RD1 , Feb 2024 - 3 weeks)
We were very fortunate to have Mark & Hyeshin as house sitters and can only highly recommend them. Right from the start they were great communicators and even came to meet us prior to the house-sit. It was very easy to arrange everything and they kept us updated about house, mail and especially our animals - even sending photos and little video clips about them while we were away, which was very much appreciated. Our animals absolutely loved them and they even managed to teach our cat how to ... MORE

It was great having Mark and Hyeshin look after our house and pets while we were away. As part of the house sit they looked after a litter of puppies, our 4 dogs, 5 ducks and 2 geese. I'm more than happy to recommend them for any house sit. They are a very trustworthy and an easy going couple and nothing was too much for them. I hope to have them stay again.

Thanks so much for the stellar review guys. It was such a pleasure to meet you and to look after all the dogs and super cute puppies. We miss them a lot already. It was also super fun to go fishing together. Thanks so much and we hope to be able to come back again in the future.
Hyeshin and Mark looked after our place for 6 weeks, they are amazing house sitters. The moment they walked in, they felt like friends. We were super comfortable, leaving them with our house and Border Collie. They looked after both extremely well. Great communicators, they kept us sending photos and videos about our dog, which was so appreciated. The place was spotless when we came home. The garden looked amazing too. Our dog was sad when they left as she got so much exercise and loved their ... MORE
 
ANNA (Ahipara North Island, Jul 2022 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating This was our first house sit and being on a lifestyle block lots of animals to care for. Mark and Hyeshin were beyond wonderful, amazing and brilliant. They are the most respectful, kind and caring people you could wish to have to look after your animals and house. They sent us updates of our animals and lots of beautiful photos, even won over a cat that family cant get near. We came back to find animals very happy and content and the house and grounds were immaculate. I can only highly ... MORE

Thank you so much for the stellar review Sandra. We absolutely loved looking after your beautiful home and miss all the animals, especially Lace, Buddy and Chuckles :)
If Mark & Hyeshin apply to be your house sitters, my advice is to snap them up immediately! They did a fantastic job looking after the animals (cats & cows) our extensive lawns and our house for a month. They kept us up to date with everything that was going on and no trouble was too much for them. It was lovely to come home to a house that was looked after and pets that were happy. They had even cooked a lovely meal & bread for us when we came home. Thanks Mark & Hyeshin!
 
LINDA (Nuhaka North Island, Oct 2021 - 4 weeks)
We can not thank Hyseshin and Mark enough for the amazing care they took of our dogs and our home for what turned out to be 5+ weeks due to Covid.. They are a lovely, trustworthy and genuine couple who cared for our property and our 2 dogs incredibly. Our home and gardens were immaculate - even the windows ;) the dogs were happy, healthy and extra fluffy upon our return plus the welcome home treats were the nicest touch. We could not recommend them enough to anybody considering having their ... MORE

No rating A huge thank you to Mark and Hyeshin for a absolutely fantastic job you both did looking after the house and all our farm animals with ease for the 10 weeks we were away. We cannot speak highly enough of you both, they also had to deal with our chooks getting mites, which they dealt with easily, They also dealt with the power cuts and the storms that hit Clevedon with ease. Our house was left very clean and tidy, they cooked tea for our homecoming which we throughly enjoyed :-D But ... MORE
