Counselor/Manager

Hi, we are a Kiwi couple living in the Wellington region. Doug grew up on a dairy farm in the Waikato and has his own offshore Agricultural Consulting business. Kalinda is self-employed, providing Training and Critical Incident Support to health workers.

We are tidy, professional, non-smoking and experienced house sitters and pet sitters. While living overseas, we became the ex-pat "go-to people" with extensive experience looking after cats, cows, chickens and dogs of all sizes and ages, from Chihuahua Pugs to Tibetan Mountain Dogs. We would love to take care of your home and pets and have verified NZ references.

We can't thank Doug and Kalinda enough for taking such excellent care of our animals and home. Doug and Kalinda were very easy to liaise with before, during and after the house sit. They were very trustworthy, friendly, tidy...we had total peace of mind knowing they were there. We really appreciate the kindness they showed to our dog when he got sick unexpectedly. They did not hesitate to contact us straight away and took our dog to the vet to get him the care he needed. They ... MORE

Hi Claudia, we really enjoyed our connection with you, Joe and your boy very much. Thank you so for your warm welcome. It was our pleasure and honour to take care or your home and pets with as if they were our own. Arohanui, Doug and Kalinda
House sitter review: Doug and Kalinda housesat for 3 weeks on our farm. They were very respectful of our wishes and treated our house the way we asked them to. Our farm house has a few usual things about it but was not a problem for them. The pet calves and chooks were well fed, the house was tidy and clean, and cats well cared for upon our arrival home. We would recommend Doug and Kalinda to anyone, especially if you have pets.

Thanks so much Sam and Ange, we enjoyed taking care of your home and pets. We so appreciated your clear instructions and the ease of communication with you.
No rating Doug, Kalinda and their girls ranked up there with the best house-sitters that we've ever had, impressing us across the board. Our many animals/pets were supremely cared for, as was our home, garden and grounds which were all left immaculate. Their common-sense/pragmatic approach, and attention to detail, meant that everything was looked after very well in our 3 week absence. We have no hesitation in recommending this family to others, and hope to welcome them back to our property again soon!
