Melanie & Peter

Hello! We are trustworthy, reliable responsible NZ professionals and experienced house-sitters. We have cared for our own home and animals on a large section in Kerikeri for the past 15 years. We have two careful and considerate daughters aged 10 and 12 years old. We all love animals (and traveling)! We have two guinea pigs and lots of experience caring for animals including my brother's miniature poodle, Mini who we all adore.

Because we love to travel ourselves, we totally understand the anxiety of having your home and pets cared for while you are away. We are committed to providing your pets with all the attention, love, and care they need. Long walks are welcome. You can also trust that we will follow any special diet or requirement that they may have.

We are very experienced in garden and lawn care, spa and pool maintenance, tank water and on-site sewage systems, ant prevention and pest control. We are also happy to mow lawns.

We are non smokers. In our own home, we always take our shoes off and like to keep things clean and tidy. On your return, you can expect to find your home as clean as you left it, if not cleaner, and with very happy pets.

We would love to housesit for you. If you have any questions or want to chat, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Screenshot of our AirBnB references in photo section.
