Retired

Hello, my name is Phillip Kenny, and I am 6 years into retirement with my better half Sue.
I have been Business Owner of a very successful real estate franchise for 39 years which I have since sold to my daughter Tammy.
I am an active volunteer firefighter in our local Fire Brigade and have served 47 years so far.
Sue trained and worked as a nurse in the UK prior to joining the Police Force where she served for 18 years.
Upon arriving in NZ she lived on a sheep station doing a bit of calf rearing on the neighboring farm. Since then, she worked as an industrial nurse before taking early retirement.
We are active, trustworthy, and very reliable, non smoking people who don’t have any pets now but would love an opportunity to look after yours while you take a break.
We tend to spoil our four grandchildren and maybe we could spoil your fur babies too!
Our hobbies include Gold Fossicking, fishing, off roading (mainly beaches and rivers) -driving in our side-by-side Polaris looking for good fishing spots and gold fossicking ground, Bike rallies and touring New Zealand on our Harley Davidsons with or without our friends, Vintage Car Club/Classic Car runs both local and throughout New Zealand, Camping and boating on Lake Benmore, overseas travel especially hopping over to Australia, and gardening at our lovely home.
Sue and I are offering to help busy people get a break away from home knowing their precious “families” and properties are being well cared for. We live in Ashburton, NZ but are willing to travel for house sits.
It also gives us another opportunity to meet ‘new’ friends from all around New Zealand and further.
We are experienced in house sitting, looking after all sorts from fish to livestock and everything in between. Hopefully you will give us the opportunity to care for your precious pets and home.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to chat.
Sue and I look forward to hearing from you soon 😊

Sue and Phil looked after our small farm and 27 head of cattle whilst we were on holiday overseas. They did a wonderful job and we came home to fat cattle and a spotless house. They kept us informed throughout and we didn’t have any worries that a situation would arise that they couldn’t deal with. On top of that they were very friendly and professional, we therefore would recommend them and hope they will sit again for us in the future.

Thank you for your kind words, it was our pleasure and look forward to sitting again .....keep in touch.
Sue and Phil did a great job of looking after our wee dogs for a week. It was great to get home to happy pets and a clean and tidy house, and garden and houseplants all looking healthy.

We have just returned from a holiday when Sue and Phil Kenny looked after our property and elderly dog. I cannot recommend them more highly - they communicated extremely well; they took exceptional care of our elderly dog; the house was absolutely spotless when we returned. They left a lovely note for us when we returned with a photo of our very happy pooch. What more can you ask for!!!! We, and our little dog, could highly recommend them both. Looking forward to having them return again.

Sue and Phil are the nicest people!! We were very lucky to have them sit our cat dog and fish for 4 days and we came home to happy pets, an immaculate house and a sweet card with printed photos of the pets. Their communication was amazing too. We DEFINITELY recommend them to others

Sue and Phil were great. Very communicative, they took great care of the house and most important, Wellington (The cat) had a great time with them. Would recommend in a heartbeat
