Retired, non smokers, careful house keepers

We are a retired couple with rural backgrounds - from sheep farms to a family vineyard and winery. Up until recently we were living on a 30 acre lifestyle block several kilometres out of Tauranga. We cared for the property and the animals - ponies, cattle, alpacas, chickens and a cat when the owners were away.
We have since moved to New Plymouth where our youngest son and daughter-in law live. However we still have family and friends living in the Bay of Plenty and Hawkes Bay ( we used to live in both regions) and love to visit periodically.
Before our retirement we ran our own property care and maintenance business and Chris, having also worked in the security industry, has a current NZ Ministry of Justice Certificate of Approval.
Over the years we have had a number of pets - Burmese and Siamese cats plus a variety of dog breeds including a Staffordshire Bull terrier, Cocker Spaniel and two German Shepherds.
Now that we are not in the work force and free to travel, we no longer have our own pets but would love to care for your treasured companions while you are on holiday.
We are careful and clean house keepers and experienced gardeners. Having had our own swimming/spa pools we are also familiar with their care. You can rest assured that we will look after your property and your pets as if they were our own.
We are happy to meet via Zoom if you would like to get to know us better. References are available on request.

Chris and Felicity were excellent house sitters! They were extremely attentive to our fur babies and kept in regular contact which was so reassuring. They looked after our home beautifully and we came back to some essentials in the fridge which was so lovely and very kind, as we only got home in the late evening. We would highly recommend Chris and Felicity and look forward to having them stay again in the near future
 
CAROLINE (Papamoa Beach North Island, Oct 2024 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Chris & Felicity are a great local couple we had look after our much loved Border Collie - Ollie. Their communication was perfect, we were able to meet up prior to the sit and answer each others questions and feel at ease with each other. Our home was left in perfect condition and Ollie was happy and content. We would recommend Chris & Felicity to anyone looking for a reliable couple who are happy to spend time at home with your pet. We would not hesitate to have them again in the future. ... MORE

House Security

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
