Honest & dependable couple

Hi,

We're Trace & Rob. We've been travelling the world for several years and recently arrived back for a few months at home. We're thinking about settling back in NZ soon and we'd like to reacquaint ourselves with some of the regions. What better way than house-sitting in different areas!

We're self-employed in the digital marketing/web design sector, so can work from anywhere there's available internet. With mostly offshore clients, we have pretty flexible work hours, so we're free during the day to do whatever is needed for your pets/farm/home.

We are non-smoking and outdoorsy - we love fly fishing, hiking and camping. One of our passions is gardening and Trace is a hobby beekeeper.

Both of us have extensive experience with caring for pets, including cats and dogs, cattle, sheep, goats, rabbits, fish and chooks.

We'd welcome you getting in touch any time and hope you'll consider us for your pet and house sit.

Trace and Rob were the perfect housesitters. We got regular updates on our pets and the house was spotless on our return. Even the sheets were washed and on the clothesline! The garden was well watered and looked after. Super nice people too. Totally recommend Trace and Rob and we’d have them back in a heartbeat.

Thanks so much, we had such a lovely time looking after Daisy, Cricket & Nutmeg ❤︎❤︎❤︎
Trace & Rob were outstanding. They looked after our pets like they were their own, our house was spotless when we returned. Their communication was excellent and kept us up to date on our pets' antics. Was a shame we didn't get to meet them in person, but we would love to keep in touch. We would have them back in a heartbeat. Thank you again so much.

Recommend Trace & Rob without hesitation. Great communication, fantastic care of our property. Sadly our precious Belle passed away just before they came to pet sit but as experienced fellow animal lovers they were very understanding and willing to help. Thanks!
 
KATH (Mt Albert North Island, Jun 2024 - 2 weeks)
Rob & Trace have just completed a house sit for us for 4+ weeks on our small farm at shortish notice. This was our first experience with Kiwi HS & the journey started so well when they took the time to visit Hawkes Bay specifically to meet us, so we could show them around the property to explain how things worked. The communication during the stay was great & although there were a couple of typical farm type situations (no water in troughs due to a water leak), they took it all in their ... MORE

Thanks Bec’s, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely property. Was an absolute pleasure to be there. And thanks for all of your advice and great communication. Best wishes, Trace and Rob
We cannot recommend Trace and Rob highly enough, they were so lovely to deal with and a pleasure to have staying! Our fur-baby was so happy with them and we had no worries while we were away on holiday. We came back to the house spotless and everything where it was when we left. Thank you again Trace and Rob!

Only 2 words is only really required 'Amazing brilliant. We cannot thank Trace & Rob enough for looking after our house and pets. From the first communications they were wonderful to deal with, help us through the whole process as seasoned housesitters, they found the time to come and meet prior to me leaving the country to join my Wife and daughter in Germany and from that meeting was like meeting long lost friends. There communication was amazing while I was away and was always updated on any ... MORE

Trace and Rob were amazing house sitters, they went far above and beyond our expectations. Our dogs were very happy and well looked after. Thanks again guys, we hope to see you soon in the near future.
 
BRONYA (Darfield , Apr 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
Can't recommend Trace & Rob enough, really down to earth couple who are easy to get along with. Our dogs and cat were extremely well looked after and they kept in regular contact. The house was left absolutely immaculate (better than when we left). Would 100% have them back.
 
TANYA (Ward South Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Thanks! We loved it :-)
Trace and Rob were fantastic in caring for our home, garden and chickens. We had regular contact with updates on how things were going. The garden flourished under their care and the chickens were all happy and well looked after. The house was left immaculate when we arrived home. Would highly recommend Trace and Rob and would be happy to have them looking after our place anytime in the future.

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
