Marcus & Ingrid

We are a part-time professional couple who enjoy combining our love of travel with our love of pets.

We have had cats and dogs as well as owning our own house for many years and we understand the peace of mind it brings having a reliable pet and housesitter to look after our home and family pets. We currently have a retired short-haired border collie working dog and two crazy cats, but with older children at home to look after them, we're hoping to travel a little more frequently in this phase of life.

We are non-smokers and active. We enjoy running, biking and walking. We delight in seeing the happy face of a dog out walking in their happy space, We are diligent about picking up after dogs to ensure the cleanliness of the environment. We are happy to walk dogs around residential areas, bush walks or beach walks, at your animal's pace, whether they are young and energetic or heading towards retirement. We are animal lovers and will care for your animal like they're our own. Likewise with your house....we're tidy and will follow any instructions provided regarding pot plants and the rest of the property.

We have had regular house and pet sitting engagements over the years. For the last 6 years except one, we house and cat sat at Christmas time for a darling old cat in her late teens. Each year we said a teary goodbye in case this was the last time we saw her and finally the inevitable happened.

We love helping others feel like they can get away without being concerned about their fur family back at home. We love to travel and experience new places ourselves, so this is a win win.

We've not been very active on this platform so don't have any references available yet, but happy to provide contact numbers from past private pet sitting.
