Your Temporary Grumpy Uncles

John: 61, retired

Michael : 67, retired

Hello
We are brothers who have lived with animals of our own and those left to our care,for so long that we have missed having them around in the last few years.
We have traveled and rambled round (walkies without a dog),and its now that we can see parts of New Zealand in a relaxed pedestrian observation of whats there. and whats changed.
We are excited by the opportunities offered by house pet sitting,and will be good guests of your good homes of pets,plants,belongings,and instructions.
We will do extra homework for the first two,be respectful of the third and turn the instructions into daily plans.
Police Check completed.
Yours Sincerely.John and Michael

Sadly a number of newly-hatched ducklings didn't survive during their stay, but that was likely to be due to predators rather than any lack of care. Prior to the housesit John communicated well by phone call, text and email, and they ... MORE

John& Michael were very low maintenance house sitters. My first time using a house sit & I wanted someone who would care for my pets and they were definitely well loved. Would recommend.
