The Peace-of-mind carer

77, Retired nurse

82, Retired technician

We are a retired couple who have had extensive experience with dogs and cats, having owned them for over 40 years. Unfortunately our last two pets, a ginger cat and a black spaniel, passed away last year which is why we would like to care for other people's pets and enjoy their company plus being able to discover different parts of our beautiful countryside. We understand that pets grieve when their owners are absent and need extra attention.
Both John and I love walking and keep very active doing our garden and growing vegetables, etc. Our hobbies are varied - we belong to several groups in U3A, Lions, Choir, Reading, Painting, making models so we are pretty busy which is what we like. I have taken up helping with Mainly Music which is fun with the preschoolers, and keeps me young! We are happy to give pets medication and would take good care of your home, and, of course, your pets. We have been nationally police vetted, and are triple vaccinated.

Hazel and John are a lovely couple and looked after our dog and our house so well. There was good communication during our trip and we felt assured everything was in safe hands. We had no worries and would absolutely recommend them in future.

Hazel and John took good care of our fur babies with daily walks and extra food when one of them got a bit “fussy” (we reimbursed them ) and kept us up to date with how they were doing

Hazel and John are wonderful house and Pet sitters. Our very independent Birman cat had a personality change, became their new buddy staying around the house friendly, and cuddly.! The house was clean and tidy and communication with us as anxious (1st time leaving) pet owners was excellent. Wish we could use them more but they are heavily booked!

We were quite nervous about leaving our elderly pup through Kiwi House Sit for the first time, but need not have worried. Hazel and John provided an excellent service and looked after Oscar and our home wonderfully. Hazel provided regular updates during our 7 weeks overseas and we came back to a very happy dog and very tidy home. I would recommend Hazel and John to any prospective travellers.

Hazel & John were great house sitters. They were marvelous with the animals and I know how much the dogs would have loved their daily walks, very spoilt. We came home to a beautifully clean and tidy house and outside was the same. We would have no hesitation to ask Hazel & John to sit for us again.
