Peter Docherty

60, Retired Handyman

Hello I am a mature, caring single retired handyman, non smoker, reliable currently traveling around New Zealand in my Motorhome, I have had many great experiences housesitting here and abroad.
I assure you that your house will be spotless on your return and treated like it were my own home and your pet's will be taken care of also happy to administer medication etc.
Please contact me should you have any questions, more than happy to discuss options and provide references if you request.
Take care
Pete.

Peter went above and more doing our house sit . He looked after our 2 dogs perfectly and the same with the house and grounds. I would recommend Peter to anyone.
 
ERIC (Whalers Gate North Island, Sep 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
Pete was incredibly amazing! Our animals were so well taken care of and the house and grounds were immaculate on our return. I could not fault Pete in any way and would love to have him back to house sit again for us, every time we go away in the future.
 
HEATHER (Te Awamutu North Island, Jun 2024 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Pete looked after our house and cat for 9 weeks whilst we were overseas. We came back to an immaculate house and a very happy, well fed and brushed cat. Pete also mowed our lawns and scrubbed our large deck which was awesome. Pete kept in touch with us whilst we were away and we were 100% confident we had left our property in safe hands. Would not hesitate to use Pete again, many thanks
 
SARAH (New Plymouth Central Taranaki North Island, Apr 2024 - 2 months 1 week)
We found Peter to be, conscientious, caring to our animals (the two dogs loved him) and our chickens were happy and the coop immaculate. He is a very clean and tidy house sitter. Our home was immaculate when we came home. Peter stayed on a few days to help us to move our vegetable garden. He worked very hard to achieve a fantastic outcome. Couldn't recommend him more.

Look forward to housesitting for you again in the near future.
Pete was an amazing house sitter. He provided fantastic care of our dog and the house was absolutely immaculate when we got home. Pete is an excellent communicator and we would love to have him house sit for us again.

We were fortunate to have Peter house & pet sit for us while we were away on holiday. Peter took great care of our home and animals. He is a fantastic communicator and kept in touch throughout the entire time. We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter for house and pet sitting and we hope to call on him again on the future. Thank you Peter.
 
KANE (Waiwhakaiho North Island, Oct 2023 - 8 days)
I enjoyed my housesit for Kane. The location was great The animals were fun and look forward to housesitting again in the future. Pete.
We met Peter before we left which made us feel more relaxed as he was very easy to communicate with. He left our home clean and tidy and we would highly recommend Peter as we are hoping he will be available to housesit again for us in the future.

My housesit for Diane was great I totally enjoyed my stay, communication was wonderful there pet, Nico was easy going very affectionate, would be a pleasure to housesit for them again. Pete.
I was very lucky to have Pete look after my home and dogs while I was overseas for just over 7 weeks. I came back to a sparkling clean house and happy dogs. Everything was well looked after, and Pete had even done a few repairs while I was away. A lovely caring, reliable, trustworthy and professional house sitter. I can't recommend Pete’s services enough. Highly recommend. Thank you so much
 
ANGELIKA (Aongatete/Katikati , Jun 2023 - 1 month 3 weeks)
I was very happy to look after Angelika’s home and pets that were lots of fun a great location and a great experience.
Peter was a fantastic house sitter for us. He took great care of our house so when we arrived back the place was clean, homely and the cats were happy. Peter also cleaned our AirBnB while we were away and all the guests left great reviews. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter for house sitting and I will try and contact him next time I need someone to look after my house again.
