Straight Up House Sitters

70, Retired Property Manager

65, Retired Teaching Principal

As a married couple, with a complementary skill set, we have enjoyed working together over the past 20 plus years, each in separate school leadership and property management roles.

Courtesy of us having lived in a range of communities, house/property types, locations and taking responsibility for the care of ours as well as a variety of owners' pets, you can be assured that we are ideally suited to the task of house sitting.

Together we approach all aspects of our lives with energy and 100% commitment to reaching high standards for looking after your property and possessions and tending to the needs of your pets.

We fully understand how important it is to the home and pet owner to be able to trust that their instructions be followed during their absence. We pride ourselves on our integrity and the respect we always show through our efforts to do so.

Since the 1980's our reputation for being hard working, practical people has led to us regularly being requested to house sit for friends and family on a casual
basis.

Our recent retirement means we can now advertise our availability more widely to create a win-win opportunity for ourselves and those seeking reliable, capable house and pet sitters.

If you would like to contact our referee please ask and you will be given further contact details.

From the moment they stepped in our whare - they made us feel as ease! Bernie and Kathryn were amazing Housesitters - Can highly recommend them. We come home to an immaculately clean and tidy whare am pretty sure our pets and chickens enjoyed their company too. and they even left us a wee surprise for lunch in the fridge. Ngā Mihi Nui to you both ☺️

Kathryn and Bernie were fantastic. I had never had a house/ pet sitter before so it was a new experience for me. They were so caring of my wee fur baby and sent me photos of her while I was on holiday. We communicated a few times prior to house sit and I felt confident before meeting them. My friends met them and said I needed to get them again. I will if I can. My cat was happy. My house spotless. I had a great holiday. What more could I ask for. Thanks Kathryn and Bernie. X

Bernie and Kathryn looked after our house and wee dog for just over a week while we were away. They are lovely to deal with and looked after Ruby and our house as if it was their own. It was so nice to come back and have the house so tidy and a very happy dog. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bernie and Kathryn. Thank you!
