Kiaora,

We are a couple currently travelling and living in our motorhome for nearly three years. We love it! We are both artists, educators and work on the road. We love our lifestyle and are currently travelling Te Wai Pounamu / South Island, soon to be in the North Island.

While in the South, Christchurch has become our base, the place we return to in between journeys.

We both grew up with animals and our last dog was Niwa, a loyal Jack Russell. We've also enjoyed looking after both dogs and cats on our house sits and they have all been very lovely!

We are easy going, reliable, friendly, tidy people who love art, nature and good food! At our home in Gisborne we had a garden and it is one of the things I miss about not having a house anymore so any opportunity to be in someone else's garden, I will take it, no matter how small! I have a good knowledge of many plants, natives and gardening in general.

We are respectful of other's private spaces and will take good care of yours. We are also both non-smokers.

We live in our motorhome so this will be coming with us (unless stated otherwise) wherever we are and we'll need off street parking for it. It is approx 7m long x 2.9m wide x 3m high. Any questions please ask.

Nga mihi nui,
Harete (Jo) and Te Rautini (Todd)

Jo & Todd were fabulous! Great communication from start to finish. They agreed to arrive a day early so we could personally review care of the pool & spa etc. They took great care of our little dog Jaxson, who has some separation anxiety issues. Sent us videos & photos daily to ease my separation anxiety Jo was great in the garden & greenhouse...went the extra mile! Todd did a super job looking after the lawns and pool! Would highly recommend Jo & Todd for your next house/fur baby sit!!

Thanks Mickie! A fab house sit for us! And how could I forget the spa and pool, extra bonus for the hot days we had and relaxing in the evening. Kiaora Jaxson, big hugs and cuddles :)
Couldn’t recommend Jo and Todd any more than I do! They were amazing for the 3 weeks my husband and I were away. Constant updates of our dog Lexi and which we loved and the house was very clean to return to. Felt very comfortable that our dog was well loved and looked after in our absence.
 
MIKAYLA (Somerfield South Island, Jun 2024 - 3 weeks)
Pick these two! Jo and Todd are THE BEST! They showered our pets with so much love and took awesome care of our house and i swear it was cleaner when we got bsck then when we left! We got cute videos and pics of the animals and a homemade brownie in the pantry when we got home. 10/10!

Jo and Todd are beautiful people who took great care of my house, cat and garden. They left the house so tidy and clean for me to come home to. I ended up changing the dates of my house sit to Dec4-14 different to the original advertised time and thankfully they were available. I highly recommend Jo and Todd if you need someone for your home. They were fantastic.
