MATURE CARING COUPLE - TAKE A BREAK!

RETIRED

Who we are: A retired couple who love all animals.
Please Note: Kaikoura/Blenheim/Picton - We would love to hear from you if you would like us to sit for you 1/2/2025 - 22/2/2025 . As we will be holidaying in your area we may be able to visit beforehand. We have now been housesitting on/off for 3 years (many repeat sits) and we are lovin caring for all the lovely animals and homes that we have been to.
We love animals and have had in the past our own minagery - cats, ducks, chooks, rabbits, sheep, pigs.
We have had expewrience caring for people, their homes and their animals in England.
Lawrence was brought up with dogs in Manchester whereas I am more of a cat person although I have to say since starting this venture I have enjoyed looking after dogs also.
We have been housesittng mainly in Canterbury but are open to travelling to other areas..
We will follow your instructions, look after your animals and keep your home clean Meanw.hile we will keep in touch sending you updates & photos of your happy pets giving you peace of mind whilst away on holiday

Nice couple. They sent photos of our dogs and reports on what they have been up to. This was really good to get. They left the home really clean and tidy. Would use Pam and Lawrence again, and would recommend them to others.

A big thank you to Pam and Lawrence for looking after our pets whilst overseas! A great mature couple, perfect for cats, chooks and equally mature dogs, who as a couple coped so well even with our washing machine going caput the day before we flew out in mid-winter! Well done!
 
LISA MARIE (Geraldine South Island, Jul 2024 - 3 weeks)
Pam and Lawrence were fantastic. Really cared for our animals. Very reliable and great communication. They left the house immaculate. Thanks so much. We could enjoy our holiday knowing our pets were also having a good time.
 
EVE (Beckenham South Island, Jul 2024 - 3 weeks)
Lawrence and Pam looked after our house and dogs for two months and we couldn’t have asked for better care, the two dogs were well looked after and I don’t think missed us at all. Communication was very good. We would recommend them for any house sit and have them come again if available.

Wonderful on all counts - great communication while we were away and we loved getting little photos of our dog too ❤️ thanks for taking such good care of our place and Hugo 🐾
 
ADRIAN (Kaiapoi South Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Thank you both. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing we had happy cat, dog and bantams.. The house was very clean and well looked after. We would highly recomend Lawrence and Pam. They sent us updates and photos. So much better than putting the pets in kennels.
 
LIZ (Christchurch South Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Lawrence & Pam looked after our home and animals for a week recently, and they were just fantastic. Communication prior to the house sit was wonderful as this was our first time having house sitters. We also received updates while we were away. All animals well taken care of, and the house left immaculate. Thankyou so much Lawrence & Pam :)
 
JESS (Kaikoura South Island, Feb 2024 - 6 nights)
Pam and Lawrence left our place clean and tidy. Pablo was a happy healthy dog and our garden was cared for and watered. They made up our beds for us and left the house well looked after. Very happy to recommend them to others. Hugh!!
 
HUGH (Lincoln South Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Pam and Lawerence were great house and pet sitters to our very spoilt dog and cat. Any arrangements and communication was very easy and I will be definitely using them again for any future house sits.
 
JO (Fernside South Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Thank you Pam & Lawrence for looking after my house and my cat Gucci. Honest and kind couple. Lovely updates how things were going. A real treat for your pet if he or she is a bit elusive. Pam and Lawrence have the right personality to love and care for your pet(s). My house and garden was well looked after.
 
ANNET (Rangiora South Island, Dec 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)

CLARE (Ilam South Island, Nov 2023 - 6 nights)
Pam and Lawrence looked after Walnut and Bobby very well. Both pooches were happy and relaxed when I arrived home and had obviously had lots of loving while I was away. The house was clean and tidy and Pam had left some pumpkin soup so I didn’t have to worry about cooking dinner on my first night home. A lovely thought. Pam also sent photos of the boys during the time I was away, which was very kind of her. Thank you Pam and Kawrence, for enabling me to have a stress free holiday knowing ... MORE

My husband and myself are so thankful for Lawrence and Pam! They house sitted and looked after our two cats for 6 weeks while we were in England. Their communication was amazing, with regular updates and photos of the fur babies. We were so thankful for that as we missed them! But could total feel at ease knowing how well cared for they were. When we came home the house was just as we had left it. I highly recommend Lawrence and pam to anyone wanting your house or fur babies looked after- if ... MORE

No rating Thank you Pam and Lawrence for looking after our house and our dog Shine and giving us peace of mind while we were away. The shepherd's pie in the fridge was a nice surprise to come home to! Thanks again!
MAY (Rangiora South Island, Apr 2022 - 4 days)
No rating I can't recommend Pam and Lawrence enough . They took care of our wee foxy max and he can be a fussy dog sometimes , but he took to them both immediately . This is our first time using this site and we wouldn't hesitate to use it again . The house was clean and Pam has left us some yummy pumpkin soup . Thankyou so much for taking care of Max and our home . If you need a reference don't hesitate to contact me .
