What We Bring to Each House and Pet Sitting Assignment

We provide little differences that other house and pet sitters may not, like:

A sincere love of all animals: Todd and I are going to miss Eleanor dearly and so we really would appreciate the opportunity to lavish all the love that we have for her onto your pets. We have a great sense of the phrase 'a house is not a home without a pet' and actually prefer sits with pets (although this is not essential).

I have been a volunteer at our wildlife park here in Christchurch called Orana Park and also with the Cat's Protection League.

We consider pets part of the family an also adore the avian and canine variety (I have been a dog owner, a boxer cross), regular walks would also allow us to visit the area. They will have all the petting, talking to and company that they are accustomed to from you.

We know they will miss you, but we like to think they will be sorry to see us go!

A house sitting contract: We will alter this to our individual agreement until we are both happy with the result. That way everything we agree on is black and white and is easily referred back to. This serves to protect all involved.

A plethora of references from happy homeowners: Take your pick from any of the home owners of our bookings page and we will let you know their contact details. They have all been wonderful people that we know we will drop in and visit should we ever find ourselves in that neck of the woods again.

Our own food: The way we usually work it is that we will use up anything of yours that you leave and then replace it with fresh stocks on your return. We are happy to come to any arrangement you see fit regarding any perishables.

Our own toiletries: No need to leave any bathroom supplies.

Emails, texts or any other preferred contact: We will email you regular updates on what is happening at home. Even if it is just to say, "all clear on the western front!"

A mail forwarding service: We will contact you to see if there is anything you would like us to read to you urgently or we can fax, email or forward anything else on.

If you would like to discuss house sitting options with us in person please contact us to arrange a telephone conversation.

We hope to hear from you soon!
