Hi we are Tracy and Mike
We are experienced pet sitters and available for opportunities to house or pet sit in your part of the country.
We both come from a background of 10+ years working for Government departments (Mike in Corrections and myself in Ministry of Social Development) but decided to call it quits, retire early and in July 2022 left NZ to travel the world!
We own property in NZ and are very house proud people. Having renovated and managed property Mike is also quite the handyman and capable of dealing with most home issues that may arise.
We both currently work part time online teaching English to Foreign learners. We love that this keeps us connected to people from many walks of life and other cultures we can learn about. This also means we can spend more time in your home keeping your pets company and your home "lived in" to deter any undesirable attention.
We really enjoy animals and have always owned cats and dogs (plus farm animals during our prior years of employment). We pet sit full-time currently and love to explore new area's and new experiences.
We have worked hard during our lives and raised 5 beautiful kids who are now independent (whew!) and now have four delightful grandchildren.

We are honest, reliable and quiet living people. We enjoy movies, Youtube, reading, travelling and time with family.

It was a pleasure to have Tracy and Mike look after our two much loved cocker spaniels and our home. Our dogs had very obviously been well cared for. They were taken on bush walks near our home. Tracy and Mike sent us regular updates and photos which we greatly appreciated as one was a rescue dog that we were concerned about leaving. We have already asked Tracy and Mike if they would be willing to return for our next trip. We are very happy to recommend them, particularly if there are dogs to ... MORE

This is the second time Tracy and Mike have looked after my Teddy. They did such a good job the first time that I had total trust in them to look after Teddy again. They treat Teddy as if he is their own. The house was spotless when I got home. I totally recommend Tracy and Mike. They take very good care of your pet and house. Thanks so much, Tracy and Mike.

Tracy and Mike looked after our house and our border collie for 2 months. They provided great communication and excellent care of our doctor. We would be happy to recommend them to anyone.

Tracy and Mike were the perfect choice for our Petsit. They took great care of our fur-baby and our home and we are truly grateful to them for their care and considerate. We cannot rate them highly enough. We would love to have them back next time, which really says it all !

PETER (Wynnum QLD, Mar 2024 - 4 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
Tracy and Mike did a wonderful job of taking care of our house and animals (dog and chickens) while we were away. Our houseplants and garden were all watered and the house was very clean and tidy when we got home. WE really appreciated their care and would recommend them highly.
 
LYN (New Brighton South Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week)
Tracy and Mike looked after Harry and Puss very well. I came home to a sparkly clean house with extra things done, so I could just relax on my return. I did appreciate all they did and would definitely recommend them to any prospective home and pet owners thinking of asking Tracy and Mike to sit for them. Friendly and easy to communicate with as well.
 
MARIE (Riverton South Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Tracy & Mike are a lovely friendly couple who looked after our home and our 2 miniature schnauzer girls. They communicated well prior to the sit. They listened to all our instructions and asked any questions. They walked our girls each day and watered our plants. The house was clean and tidy when we came home. We would definitely recommend them as housesitters for your home.
 
TALIA (Hawthorne QLD, Dec 2023 - 6 nights) From Aussie House Sitters
Tracy and Mike took fantastic care of our house and dogs. I received regular updates including pics and videos of the dogs loving life with them. I returned to a tidy house and happy dogs. I would definitely recommend them and will happily use them again in the future.

Tracy and Mike did a great job looking after our home and our dog Hamish. They were friendly and easy communicate with in the lead up to the sit and kept in touch with updates while we were away. The house was clean and sheets washed when we got back. Hamish was calm and happy when we got home so we know he enjoyed himself. We would definitely recommend Tracy and Mike for future house sits. Enjoy your travels Tracy and Mike!
