Friendly, kind and trustworthy

We would like to bring our experience in property & pet care along with us as we explore new destinations.

We are not working so can dedicate our time to caring for your pet’s needs and maintaining your home/garden.

We are genuine, reliable, active, non-smokers who love animals - especially dogs and cats.

We have travelled extensively and have lived primarily in Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

We have enjoyed house-caring and pet-minding for friends on numerous occasions. We have owned several homes and rented homes as well so we understand the responsibilities of maintaining a home.

We have a healthy lifestyle that includes bush walking, canoeing, swimming and camping, so we are fit and energetic and really enjoy walking dogs to check out the locality. We like exploring new areas but also love being at home with fur friends.

We are mature, clean, tidy, and responsible and will leave your place as it was when we arrived. Your animals, gardens and home will be lovingly looked after, fed, watered, and talked to.

Peter is a practical person and handy on house and garden maintenance.
Nerissa is a keen gardener and loves cooking with local produce.

We will be happy to regularly forward photos and email updates of your pet/pets while we look after them for your peace of mind.

We will happily share with you all our references and can continue contact via phone, email, or Skype.

Police checks available
Fully vaccinated for Covid 19- just had 5th booster!
Verbal and written references are available

We do understand that everyone's home & pets are different and we seriously take this on board and listen to each individual request and follow through with meeting your specific requirements while we stay.

Thank you for taking the time to read our profile

Looking forward to hearing from you when you next need house sitters :)

Nerissa and Peter are exceptionally good house-sitters! We could not fault them! The communication before, during and after the housesit was excellent. Our house was thoroughly clean and tidy when we arrived home, and it was obvious that the garden and lawn had been well maintained. Nerissa and Peter thoughtfully added several notes on our House Care printed pages, showing the attention to detail and care they take in their role as house-sitters. In addition, they left an extensive number and ... MORE
 
TRISH (Tewantin QLD, Oct 2024 - 2 weeks 5 nights)
Thank you so much Trish and Lex for your kind and thoughtful review. We really appreciate it. It was a wonderful experience housesitting your home and caring for your garden and pool.
How wonderful it was to have complete confidence with Nerissa and Peter to look after our baby, Miss Puff and our home. We could not have asked for better house sitters. Their respect, communications and due diligence for our home and pet while we were away was outstanding. We felt so lucky that our paths crossed and look forward to our next trip knowing Nerissa and Peter are happy to come again.
 
BABETTE (Mooloolaba QLD, Sep 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Thank you, Babette and Garry, for your wonderful review. It was our pleasure to care for Miss Puff and your lovely home. You are both very thoughtful and welcoming and we are very grateful for the House Sit. Warm regards Nerissa and Peter
We could not have asked for better house sitters than Narissa and Peter. They looked after the house and garden as if was their own. Gardens were watered and weeded, lawns mown and new seedlings put in. House was spotless when we returned. They were such a pleasure to communicate with. After the first zoom call it was like we were good friends and that's what they have become. We were able to relax over the 5 weeks while away knowing our house was in good hands.
 
CHRIS (Mount Gravatt East QLD, Aug 2024 - 1 month 1 week)
Thank you, Chris and Terry, for your wonderful review. It was such a pleasure to care for your lovely home and garden and to meet you both. We loved the neighbourhood and the opportunity to 'live like a local'. Warmest regards Nerissa and Peter
Nerissa and Peter were the consummate house/pet sitters. Our home was very well taken care of and cleaner and tidier when we got home than when we left. Our two dogs were very happy, energized, fit and clearly enjoyed their time while we were away. Nerissa and Peter's communication with us while we were away was reassuring, informative and timely. All in all, having Nerissa and Peter house & pet sit allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying and also made returning home a great ... MORE

Thank you Caroline and Dion for your kind words. It was an absolute delight to look after Jeff and Louie and your home. Thank you.
Nerissa and Peter did a wonderful job looking after our two cats while we were away for a weekend. Great communication and updates, Thank you !!
 
MATHILDE (Mount Victoria North Island, Apr 2024 - 2 nights) From Kiwi House Sitters
Nerissa and Peter were absolutely wonderful. They went above and beyond caring for our house, garden and cat. They were great with communication and left the house in better condition than we left it! Many added special touches as well, can't recommend them more :) Will certainly be having them house/cat sit again if they are willing!
