Kevin & Aiko in Nelson

43, Mechanical Engineer

41, Professional Baker

Please have a look at our availability calendar and get in touch with us if you'd like us to sit for you! :)

Kevin is from Canada, in NZ since 2019. His partner Aiko is from Japan. We have lived in various spots across the planet and very lucky and happy to call Nelson our home now.

We've lived with cats and dogs, and love them both. Have fed chickens, guinea pigs, etc. We are open to caring for other types of pets as well as long as simple instructions are provided :)

We love getting out for walks if you have a dog or dogs, or staying in and chilling with the cats. We live a pretty relaxed lifestyle, rarely ever drink and wouldn't be having any parties. Kevin works full time as a professional engineer in Nelson, with flexible work hours and location which allowing him to work from home for longer periods of time. Aiko would be at home full time to care for the house and any animals.

We've house and pet-sitted in various places across the globe but always through friends / word of mouth recommendation. We may travel for the right sit so please get in touch! This is the first time signing up for a house sitting website. We have numerous personal references available including locally in Nelson, we are quite clean (will leave your place spotless for your return) and care a lot of about the space where we live and the animals we are caring for.

If you're interested in having Aiko & I take care of your home & pets please reach out. We live part time in a gorgeous motorhome when we aren't sitting, so we are mobile, and flexible to accommodate your living situation, a place to park the motorhome would be splendid. :)

Kevin and Aiko were very understanding when we took the dogs with us (they couldn’t be separated) as one was sick on medication. We appreciated the care they took of our garden while we were away. On their leaving they left the house clean and tidy and we were very happy to have them as our guests.

We returned home to find our home immaculately cleaned & organized for us . Our two dogs were anxiously awaiting their daily run around the bottom field .. Kevin & Aiko appear to have upheld the daily routines & declined. those big eyed invitations from Phoebe for a tidbit out of regular meal time . Once again the arrangements we had made seemed to have worked well for us, the dogs & our home .
