Hello
We are Bev and Bruce, in our mid-60s, non-smoking, and no dependents.
We have owned and renovated several properties and understand the importance of security and peace of mind regarding your home and cherished pets. We have had in our family in the past, Queenie, a blue heeler - very active and needed lots of walks/runs, many cats and a few chickens (as well as three boys all grown up now, and seven grandchildren)
In the past, we have house-sat for many amazing pets and homeowners.
""Absolutely first-class house sitters. After 5 days away we came home to a wonderfully tidy and clean house, two very happy and well-loved dogs, and even the garden looking better than when we left.. Big big thanks (and lots of doggy woofs) for looking after our place so exceptionally well. You guys are angels in disguise. We'd welcome you back anytime. Gavin, Maeve, Yvonne, Peanut, and Diogi.
"Bruce & Bev did a great job of looking after our wee puppy Starley, large house & garden over Christmas for 2 weeks. Couldn't be happier, they even did lots of gardening when it wasn't really part of the agreement. Simon Jan 2017"

We spent 2 years in the UK (2019-2020), With many housesits through Trustedhousesitters which is a worldwide site. More recently we have been housesitting in the UK from April - Aug 2024 in York, Cardiff down to the New Forest and many in between. Here is one review from this time.
"We just wanted to say that Beverley and Bruce could not have been more amazing. It honestly felt like we left our whole lives in the care of caring relatives. They even went as far as to stick a chicken in the oven for our return and did some pretty overdue weeding. For a family of 4 running our own business with tiny kids, their kindness was very moving and we wish they could come all the time! Warmest wishes and thanks to all." Emily UK June 2024.

We want to make sure that while you are away, not only are your pets safe and happy in the environment they are used to but that you are able to relax in the knowledge that we will care for your home as if it were our own.
Kind Regards Bev & Bruce

Bev and Bruce are a fabulous couple who took great care of our dog, Frida, and our house. They took the time to visit twice before the sit to get to know Frida and have a chat about the house and logistics. They provided updates while we were away, many of the multiple daily walks with Frida, who looked very happy and content. The house was respected and left clean and tidy, and the gardens and plants were looking great and healthy. Thank you so much, Bev and Bruce!
 
HADLEIGH (Waimairi Beach South Island, Nov 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
Bev and Bruce were fantastic sitters for our girls Betty and Daisy - they took the time to come and meet us and them before the trip and kept in touch during the sit. The girls were content and happy on our return. Very much hoping that we might be able to work out another sit in the future. Thanks again!

Bev & Bruce were great! They took great care of our two wee dogs. Bev sent regular photos and message updates. It was the first time leaving my dog and it was comforting to know she was being looked after well. The house was tidy upon my return. Would definitely recommend Bev & Bruce for your house sit.
 
NICOLA (Omarama South Island, Dec 2021 - 1 week)
We had a great experience with Bev and Bruce house/pet sitting for us and would highly recommend them. We appreciated the chance to meet them online prior to the date, and they had excellent communication with us whilst they were at our home. Millie was very lucky to have two walks per day and both pets very happy and settled upon our return. We asked Bev and Bruce to tend to a few other things at the property at the last minute and they were very obliging. Upon our return the house was clean ... MORE

Bev and Bruce were fantastic! They were really easy to communicate with and reliable. We came home to a beautifully clean and tidy house and a very happy cat which is most important to us! Would definitely have them back again and would highly recommend them!
