Sam and Ginny

51, Transportation Planner

52, Finance + HR Director

We're a mostly retired couple from the USA and lived in NZ (Auckland) from 2012 to 2018. We've recently landed back in NZ from California, but this time in the Wellington area. We've done house sits in various states in the U.S. and in NZ and have truly loved taking care of people's pets and homes while they're away traveling. We had a dog (Scout) for twelve years, who we miss dearly, but our recent lifestyle has made it difficult to welcome another pet into our lives. Being able to spend time with animals through house sits has helped to fill that void! We are very conscientious and responsible and always do our best to leave the house in as good (or better?) shape as we found it. We are also quite handy and resourceful so are well-equipped to handle any issues that may arise around the house. Lastly, we're a very active couple so if you have a dog(s) who need exercise, we can definitely help out!

Sam and Ginny were fantastic sitters, communication was exemplary, and the care of our animals was outstanding. It was so clear that they were very caring and attentive toward our two pets, providing our active dog with wonderful long runs. Nothing was a problem for them and they left the house in perfect condition. I would absolutely recommend!

Ginny & Sam looked after our home and cat just fine, all went well. They left the house in clean and tidy condition, communication was good and we have no hesitation in recommending them to other home owners. Axel

Ginny and Sam were great. Their communication was excellent and our cat Mylo was well looked after. The house was left in a fantastic state too. A pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend them. Thank you both.
