Sydney & Jacob from Seattle

25, Administrative Assistant

29, University Admissions Counselor

Hello!

We are Sydney and Jacob from Seattle! We are currently travelling around New Zealand on a Working Holiday Visa.

We are very excited to meet new people, gain new skills, and explore the islands. We also have our own transportation.

🐈 BACKGROUND:
We are very tidy, quiet, and respectful. We love animals, and while we have refrained from adopting at home (due to our long term travel), we both come from families with animals and are accustomed to the responsibilities of pet care-taking.

🐕 OUR APPROACH:
We know that pets are a part of your family, that's why our first priority is always your pet's wellbeing. We'll do our best to walk/play/cuddle/feed/provide needed medication to the best of our ability and we will not refrain from asking questions prior to your departure. Further, during the housesit we will not hesitate to inform you of any concerns or, if you prefer, to check in regularly.

We enjoy our own living space to be clean and tidy, we would not dream of treating your space any differently. We'll never enter spaces we are not invited into and will always do our due diligence to protect the security of your home!

👩🧑 ABOUT US:
At home we enjoy cooking and baking, spending time in nature, and exploring the area around us. In the States, Sydney worked as an Administrative Assistant for a foreign Consulate, and Jacob works as a University Admissions Counselor for Western Washington University.

🌿 I hope you will consider us for your housesit!

So lovely knowing my home & my cats were in such good care. Sydney & Jacob were great to deal with and now I'm thinking about when I should go away next so they can come again. :)

Sydney and Jacob were fantastic! They made themselves available for a video call in advance and came a day early to the house for an introduction. They looked after the house and the cats perfectly and are now off to house-sit for my sister.
 
CANDICE (Casebrook South Island, Dec 2024 - 2 weeks 6 nights)
Thanks so much to Sydney & Jacob for looking after my place and cats while away. Great communication and knew the cats were in safe hands. After being away it was amazing to come home to a tidy place with sheets/towels all washed! Would recommend for future house/pet sits.
 
CHARLOTTE (Carterton North Island, Oct 2024 - 4 nights)
Sydney and Jacob did a great job of looking after our two 6month old puppies and their 4 yr old Mum, 2 cats and 2 chickens. They communicated well and let us know of any issues.
