Waikato - Hamilton

Debbie

Hi, We have a lovely home on just over an acre in a rural subdivision outside of Whatawhata and about 30 minutes to the famous Raglan beach on the west coast. Whatawhata is a small rural village with a lovely cafe, bakery, farmers market shops, pub with garden bar, petrol station and crafty shops. It is a 10 minute drive to the outskirts of Hamilton. The property is very private and not overlooked but we do have fabulous neighbours who would be able to help you with anything if need be. The house is elevated and has spectacular views out to the hill ranges and beautiful sunsets. The house is around 300sqmt, is nicely furnished and has all the mod cons you will need. You will have access to the whole house and the main guest's bedroom has its own bathroom. We have apple, plum and a variety of citrus trees which you are welcome to pick if in season. We have one dog, Billy who is a 7 year old husky/cattle dog cross. Billy is very friendly and loves human company. She does need a bit of exercise but our section is large and there is also a good walk up an undeveloped subdivision at the end of our road. We also have a cat, Dusty who mainly sleeps and eats, I am not sure what breed she is but if you think of a ball of fluff you will not be far off. We will do a grocery shop for you and you can help yourself to anything in the fridge, freezer and pantry. The property is secured with electronic gates so is safe and secure.

Sitting for Debbie and Joe was an absolute pleasure. They are wonderful and welcoming hosts who made us feel right at home. Their two pups, Caesar and Billie and cat, Dusty are excellent companions and a joy to care for. Their beautifully-appointed home is an easy drive to either Hamilton or Raglan. We look forward to sitting for Joe and Debbie again soon!

Overall a really wonderful sit. Debbie and Joe are really warm people who made us feel so at home. Animals were great and well behaved. We would absolutely sit again.
 
CHLOE & STEWART (Jun 2024 - 1 week)
Caesar, Billie and Dusty were all very easy to look after. Caesar loves human company so will never be far away. Billie, just as keen for a pat but as happy resting in the sun. Dusty the cat will show herself at mealtimes and otherwise is also bathing in the sun, or on a bed. House is lovely and easy to look after. Location is lovely and quiet with beautiful country views.
 
ANNA (Jun 2023 - 1 week)
Anna was a fabulous person to have look after our pets and house.. She took the time to excerise the dogs, groom both dogs and cat and give them lots of love and attention. Coming home to happy pets and a lovely tidy house made our holiday. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a ... MORE
This was my best house sitting experience to date. Debbie and Joe have a large and very comfortable property with plenty to keep me entertained including multiple streaming services, movies and wifi. The dogs are very easy to manage - a good run around the property in the morning will see them through the day, along with food and lots of cuddles. Debbie and Joe were generous far beyond my expectations, providing for all my needs during the house sit. I also got to swim in their daughters ... MORE
 
CHARLOTTE (Dec 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Hi Charlotte, lovely to hear that if the dates worked you would be happy to look after the house, Caesar and Billy. I will definitely be in touch if we do travel during the dates that work for you. Take care. Warm regards Debbie
