The Purrfect Pet Minders

53, Teacher

57, Self employed

We are now empty nesters since losing our precious 16 year old Howie and Tasha, our Persian and Exotic cats to kidney disease last winter. We have decided to take the opportunity to hit the road and explore a bit and pick up relieving teaching jobs as we travel about. We relish the opportunity to cuddle with your kitties, and have fun with your dog. I have taught my cats various tricks and commands so if I have enough time you might come home to your cat waving hi or shaking hands with you! We were avid houseplant collectors and gardeners so can care for your plants as well. We have house sitting/renting references available on request. I am a registered teacher so I have a current Police vetting. I am also ex-Police and an ex-Neighbourhood Support Area Manager so I am very security conscious! We look forward to looking after your home and animals as if they were our own.

We couldn’t have asked for better house sitters! Michelle and Bryan did an amazing job looking after our home and were incredibly accommodating throughout. Our dogs were so well cared for and clearly very happy when we returned, which gave us great peace of mind. Everything was left spotless, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly in our absence. We would have them house sit for us again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and ... MORE

ERIKA (Manawatu North Island, Nov 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Brian and Michelle were the first house sitters we have had. We would definitely have them back anytime. They came and visited us a few weeks before our trip away to met them. This meeting put our minds at ease instantly about going away due to the connection we felt. Wonderful couple so relaxed about what we needed them to do for our sheep, chooks and our special dog koda. While we were away overseas koda got into the wondering dew and developed an allergy. The communication was fantastic and ... MORE

The four pet lambs and the seedlings in the glasshouse all thrived under Bryan and Michelle's care. Thank you.
 
DENNIS AND JUDY (Palmerston North North Island, Oct 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Michelle and Bryan showed concern, innovation and caring for our elderly rescue whippet who had separation anxiety and maybe dementia onset. They communicated well and managed our routines conscientiously. Our house was well looked after. They managed our dogs, cats and 2 cockatoos well and we were happy with their care. Our animals were up pretty early and bryan got up to attend to them early too. We gave them an extensive list of our routines and Michelle and Bryan abided by these well. ... MORE

Bryan and Michelle looked after our cat Mia for 3 months. When we came home Mia was very contented and well looked after. They are very caring animal people, and we appreciated the care they took of Mia.
