We live in New Zealand and love exploring new places. We understand that a home is a deeply personal space, filled with memories, and that caring for pets is an act of trust. We take that to heart.

favoriteWhy we love house sitting

We love the chance to step into someone’s world; the mix of responsibility and exploration that comes from looking after a home and animals. Every home has its own rhythm, routines, and stories: we enjoy experiencing those while giving pets the comfort, and attention they’re used to.

Trevor and I understand how important it is to discover and experience life beyond our little place in the world so we’ve travelled to many places in the Southern Hemisphere and a few in the Northern.

Trevor and I understand how important it is to discover and experience life beyond our little place in the world so we’ve travelled to many places in the Southern Hemisphere and a few in the Northern.

We live in a home we designed and built eight years ago on one acre of land—beautifully maintained by Trevor—just 1 km from one of New Zealand’s best beaches.

We both work part time: Trevor is a specialist music teacher at a co ed high school, and I’m a programme manager for a children’s charity.

I immigrated to New Zealand many years ago after graduating from Pt Loma High School in San Diego, so it’s always special to reconnect with family and friends when I return to the US.

We’ve had dogs (mostly Jack Russells) and a few cats, and with the sheep, horses, cows, and ducks surrounding our home, life has often been delightfully noisy.

Pet care

Trevor and I have been pet sitting for friends while they travel both overseas and domestically; both short term (days) and long term (1+ months) for cats, dogs, fish and lizards. We are currently the 'foster parents' of a dog as required.
