The enthusiastic Hungarians

31, wildlife engineer

32, mechanical engineer

Hello there!

We are a not smoking couple from Hungary holding Working visas.
We love all the animals and we had a cat. Matt previously had 3 German Shepherds, Niki had parrots, a turtle and fish. Niki worked for a while at a bird rescue station and took care of wild animals trained for film shoots (red deer, wolves, roe deer) in a coordination park.
We also have some experience in farm work. We WOOF-ed for two weeks in New Zealand on a family farm near the settlement of Hikutaia, where we mainly fed poultry, worked with cows and horses, and cleaned the pastures of drift trees with the help of a small trailer tractor. We also did volunteering in Tiritiri Matangi.

Matt currently does woodworking in Opua and Niki works in Paihia.

We have several months of experience with house sitting. We currently live in Paihia, Northland, open to house/farm sitting nearby.

Among other things, we registered on the site because we really miss the closeness of pets in our everyday life.

In our free time, we walk in nature, Niki takes photos of birds, Matt geocaches and loves to tinker, assemble things and do programing.

Niki & Matt are a lovely couple and wonderful house- sitters!

Highly recommended!

Niki and Matt were fantastic. We arrived home after a month to a very happy and content cat, mowed lawns and a clean house and it was just great not to have to worry about anything while we were away. We live on 5 acres with cows, they moved the cows and fed them out and took care of a few etc jobs that need to be done on a rural property. They stayed in contact with us throughout our holiday and made friends with our cat who doesn't make friends with just anybody! So they obviously have the ... MORE

Had Niko & Matt a few days before we left. They were amazing with our fur kids , Niko helped mix medication for Bruin and made sure he was walked each day at his pace. We came home to very happy and loved animals and a clean home. The bonus was making new friends as well. Can’t speak highly enough…thank you both so much 💛

Niko & Matt are wonderful. We have three large dogs and they were very well looked after, I'm sure house was cleaner than I left it. Would highly recommend them.
