Kiwi Nomads

57, Semi Retired Purchasing/Shipping Co-Ord

57, Semi Retired Engineer

We live a nomadic lifestyle, having spent 3 years living on a modern 12.5 mtr yacht, sailing around NZ and in 2019 up through Tonga and Fiji. In January 22 we sold her and traveled throughout NZ camping and housesitting until we flew to the UK and picked up our brand new motorhome.
We toured the UK extensively and spent 3 months in Europe. We came back to NZ end of Jan 23 to await our MH which we imported.
We then spent time in NZ with friends and family, housesitting and traveling in our motorhome.
After selling the motorhome we bought a caravan in Australia and are currently traveling and exploring over the ditch.

We will periodically be returning to NZ to visit with family and friends.

We are fit, healthy and active, semi retired, and hope to pick up some housesits in our time back in NZ.

We have a house in East Auckland, which our sons live in and we have owned our own homes for over 20 years. We have always had a cat or two to spoil over that time. One of the hardest things we had to do when we made the choice to move on to our yacht permanently was to re-home our two cats, Ellie and Marley. We were very lucky that a friend who lives on a lifestyle block took them both in and loves them as much as we do. We get photos, videos, updates and visits regularly which we love.
I had a Sydney Silky dog, Benji, growing up and Ray looked after a Golden Lab for a couple of years in his early 20's. We also had a cold water fish tank for a few years.
We miss not having animals around us.

We look forward to meeting you and your pets.

Ray and Sharyn were fantastic house sitters. Not a complaint from us and we thoroughly recommend them.
 
JOHN (Rangewood QLD, Sep 2024 - 4 weeks) From Aussie House Sitters
Sharyn and Ray are top class housesitters and we would have them housesit for us again without reservation. They treated our property with great care and respect and we returned from our holiday to find a sparkling clean house and lawns looking perfect. Our cat fell in love with them on day one, so we had no concerns about the cat our our home when away. Highly recommended.

Sharyn and Ray came and housesat for us for two months caring for our two elderly cats, house and garden. They did an absolutely lovely job. The cats were healthy and well cared for as well as the house and garden. Would have no problems recommending them for a housesit.
 
MICHELE (Whitianga , Feb 2023 - 2 months)
Came home to a spotless house and garden. Even left us a "pressy card"! Thank you Sharyn and Ray, we were very impressed. Fleur was happy and had not lost weight (she often goes off her food when stressed), the birds were happy and we had two extra goldfish (babies) in the pond, which was a surprise, as we hadn't noticed them when we left. Would highly recommend you to others and would have you back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much. Julia & Phillip
 
JULIA (Blenheim South Island, Apr 2022 - 3 weeks)
Sharyn and Ray were a pleasure to deal with. Great communication throughout. It made going away for a long weekend so easy. The house was so clean when we got back and our dog was very happy. Thank you so much.
 
DENISE (Atawhai South Island, Mar 2022 - 3 days)
Great sitters, would highly recommend. Mia (the cat) was really well taken care of, plants watered regularly and our apartment was left spick and span, so nice to come home to. We would happily have Sharyn and Ray house sit again.
