Justin and I are a professional couple interested in seeing more of New Zealand in real communities, not just as tourists. We would love the opportunity to assist you with care of your lifestyle block, farm, or your beloved pets or gardens. We are new to this concept, and would be excited to hear from you. We can provide excellent character and professional references, should they be needed. We are both physically fit and enjoy regular walks and exercise which can easily accommodate your pet.

We are homeowners and very house proud, taking immaculate care of property, inside and out. We both have extensive experience with animals and with property/garden maintenance.

I grew up on a large family farm with experience on machinery, farm bikes and with large and small animals, including horses, cattle, sheep, dogs and cats. I have a degree in animal science and have worked with veterinarians in my past. I'm also currently a casual ambulance officer so have been police vetted for my employment.

Justin has experience with machinery, horses, cattle, dogs, cats, etc. He is handy in the garden, around the house, on the property and great with troubleshooting and fixing any issues that may crop up.

Please contact us with any queries as we would love to hear from you :) Our preferences are around the weekend to week long type of home stay. We are based in Taupo area.

I was very lucky to have Shawnna and Justin sit for me. Communication was excellent as was the care of my dogs and home. Hopefully I'll have them sit for me again. I happily recommend them to others looking for sitters.

I highly recommend sitters, Shawnna and Justin, who took great care of my two dogs and the house. I came home to two happy boys and a spotless house. Thank you.

We could not have been more happier with Shawnna & Justin's care and attention to our home & fur babies. Great communication before and during the sit as well as pics of the dogs showing them quite settled in the company. We came home to a clean & tidy house, even the sheets had been washed and the bed remade. We would be more than happy to have them come and stay again.

Shawnna and Justin were great house sitters. They took excellent care of our dog who was happy and healthy when we returned and the house was exactly as we’d left it. Great communication and they made things super easy for us. Would absolutely have them back again and recommend to anyone.
