Chao! Kia Ora! G'Day!
We are Kelly (from NZ) and Dan (from Australia), thanks so much for stopping by.
We understand it's a daunting task choosing the right house sitters to care for your home while you're away, so we've gone ahead and made it easier for you. Our main goal is to make you feel at ease leaving your home and pets in our capable hands.
Here are 10 reasons why we are the perfect fit for you:
1. House proud- We like to live in a clean environment and will make sure that your house is kept clean and tidy at all times. We've always taken excellent care of our own homes and understand what it takes to maintain and care for a property on an ongoing basis. We have been travelling through AirBnB for the last few years and have always received excellent reviews.
2. We'll love your pets- as if they are our own. As travellers we truly look forward to lavishing your pets and animals with love and attention. They will be walked, played with, cuddled and kept company while you are away. Loving pet owners for many years, we understand how important their needs are and that their routines be followed.
3. Responsible- Rest assured that we will deal with any problems that may arise in your absence. We will undertake the general upkeep and maintenance of your house and property. We have experience with repairs, renovations and carpentry and are always willing to get stuck in. Don't stress, we'll always keep you in the loop and update you if need be.
4. Excellent communicators- We like to have an open communication channel. If there are questions niggling at you, don't hesitate to ask. If you need to contact us, remember that we’re only a message, email or skype call away. We can provide you with regular updates so you can see how well your home and pets are doing. We are very easy going and are happy to collect your mail and forward on any messages.
5. Honest and trustworthy- We understand how important it is that you trust the people taking care of your home and pets. We are happy to provide you with Police Checks and for longer stays a security deposit if necessary.
6. Reliable- We're very conscious of security and will always ensure the premises are protected. We know how to keep your house safe and secure. You can depend on us and we'd never contemplate having guests over without your consent.
7. Care for your garden- Growing up, we've both spent a lot of time in the garden clearing paths, weeding, pruning and mowing the lawn. We will always ensure that your plants, lawns and gardens are well maintained.
8. Considerate- We are very conscious of waste and always use all utilities responsibly. We are non-smokers and will treat your home with the respect it deserves.
9. In good physical shape- We are fit and healthy so we love walking your dogs and getting out to tackle the garden. We both adore the outdoors and aren't afraid of a bit of hard work.
10. Warm welcome home- As travellers we understand the importance of coming home to a warm welcome, clean house, happy pets and some food on the table. We love putting our cooking and baking skills to good use so that you have the time to relax and settle back in.
Why we want to house sit
We are very conscious of being as sustainable and eco friendly as possible. Over the past few years we have spent a lot of time travelling, volunteering on farms and learning from different cultures. We love the idea of exchanging ideas, work and property to work towards a more connected community. Housesitting encompasses our core values- It is a great opportunity to live like a local, enjoy the companionship of animals, give back to others and create new friendships and memories. This is a great exchange which awards us with a sense of purpose.
Most recently we travelled around Europe in our 1991 VW T4 Westfalia Camper for 6 months. The most memorable moments of our trip were our encounters with people. We truly have experienced the kindness and generosity of strangers and we hope to pay it back.
Our experience
A little bit more about us...
Kelly:
I love to cook with fresh, locally grown produce and delight in learning about new flavours and recipes. As a vegetarian I try to educate myself as much as I can about where my food comes from. I love to be out in the garden and have experience in house renovation and general 'handy woman' tasks. I am a travel agent by trade.
Daniel:
I am passionate about living sustainably and minimally. I have carpentry experience, general handy man skills and plans to build a tiny house from refurbished materials. I love the outdoors and am an audio engineer and musician by trade.

We came home to find our apartment cleaner than when we left it, our two fur babies healthy & happy and to top it off Kelly made us a delicious lasagne that was in the fridge waiting for us when we got home.
Kelly kept in touch and sent gorgeous photos of Wally and Felicia. Which we really appreciated.
I wouldn’t hesitate to have Kelly (and Daniel) house & pet sit for us again and can’t recommend highly enough to anyone that you too have Kelly (and Daniel) house & pet sit for you. Absolute 11 out of 10!
Thank you so much :-)- Organised

Daniel's partner Kelly house/ pet sat for us for three weeks looking after our two cats. I cannot fault Kelly. She was fantastic. She was reliable turning up on time for agreed appointments and for the day of the house sit and assisted us with what was needed as it was our first experience with house sitters. Kelly was great with the cats too. They were super affectionate after all the cuddles from Kelly. Kelly kept in contact whilst we were away sending pics of the cats with a few comments. We came home to an immaculately clean house and provisions in the fridge and cupboard (milk, bread, biscuits). Such a luxury after a long flight. I would highly recommend Kelly and Daniel and will be checking if they are free when we go on our next holiday.

We received good communication prior to arrival and also during. We were kindly updated weekly with photos and feedback of how Tilly was doing. We instantly felt that she would be happy in the care of both Daniel and his partner Kelly and were most definitely not proven wrong.
We returned home To find our home clean, tidy, with flowers and a meal in the fridge but more importantly a very happy cat.
We cannot express how fortunate we are to have had them look after our precious cat and would highly recommend them as a potential career for any animal, two beautiful, kind and giving individuals with a huge heart.
If anyone is considering this couple as potential careers then I would say to not hesitate otherwise they may miss out. We wish them both much success from Anna, Mark and Tilly (the cat)- Organised
