The Pet Smoochers.

Hello everyone!

About us.
We are a semi-retired couple who love exploring the Coromandel and its surroundings on a 40ft yacht.
When we are not busy with our land blocks in Waihi and the Coromandel, we enjoy pursuing our passions for permaculture, charitable works, teaching, and life in general.

Both Angela and Soraya work and study from home, so you can rest assured that there will be no separation anxiety issues for your furry friends when you leave them in our caring hands.

Alexandre has a Master's degree in Engineering and is an excellent handyman with a great sense of humour.
He also holds a Permaculture Design Certificate and has worked as a project manager on Great Mercury Island for Michael Fay.

He particularly enjoys dogs and has experience with Whippets, Alsatians, and Border Collies.

His daughter is a well-known canine behaviourist and groomer in the Bay of Plenty, and she is on call for advice when needed.

Angela is an entrepreneur professional teacher, vegetarian chef and is committed to a holistic way of raising and interacting with your pets.
She is a lover of all life and is passionate about growing nutrient-dense food and maintaining an organic diet.

When Alex is not available, Soraya is there to provide her gentle energy to all furry friends. Soraya is an artist and animal lover who has a special affinity for cats of all shapes, sizes, and colors.

We are also available for any tasks while you are away, outside the brief of day-to-day house-sitting.
Angela has experience in permaculture, soil building, and creating living systems.

Warmest thanks.

Ange and Alex were the best house sitter! The pets were very well cared for and the house was immaculate! Was an absolute pleasure to come home to everything being so perfect. Can’t recommend them enough!! Thank you for caring for our pets and home so well

Looked after our fur babies well. Not ideal that keys to house were lost
 
NICK (Matarangi North Island, Nov 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
In all fairness Nick, i didnt lose the house-keys, as Polly told me you had an extra set and could wait until the owners of the house 100metres away returned. Unfortunately your caravan keys were attached, and i cannot apologise enough. I am always very careful. I am doing everything i can to ... MORE
It was wonderful to be able to go overseas for 5 weeks knowing my animals and house were all being well cared for. Ange had great communication and went above and beyond to make sure the animals (Dog, Cats, Guinea Pig) were all well looked after and happy. The house was as i left it. Win win

Ange and Alex are very nice people and I am very happy with the way they looked after the dog, the hens and the house. I wouldnt hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to others.

Alex was such a great cat sitter my girls loved sleeping on her bed. She looked after my garden well too. Really tidy and a great communicator. I will ask her to come again next time I need a house sitter.

Ange is the best house/pet sitter we have ever had. She is an animal lover that truly enjoys being with your pets. Ange went over and above looking after our animals. She even feed organic veges she bought to our bunny. Dogs were walked everyday and Ange told us how much she enjoyed all the animals company. On our return, house was spotless and animals happy. I would have no hesitation recommending Ange to watch your animals when you are away.
