We are a retired couple who have previously owned cats (!) and dogs. Martin is a semi-retired Chartered Accountant (see McGregor Bailey NZ website), a member of Rotary, keen sailor and hiker. Wendy was previously on the local Council, worked in Emergency Management and, as well as hiking, enjoys tai chi and gardening We are both fit and healthy and our interests include reading and walking. We plan to be in the UK between July and October: can do a New Zealand sit up until then.
Why we want to house sit
We both enjoy travel, particularly exploring an area in some depth. Although sadly we no longer have pets of our own we do have more time and freedom. As we both like animals, house and pet sitting seems to be an ideal way of spending quality time in a local, home environment.
Our experience
No previous house sitting experience - we have only just joined Trusted House Sitters and have yet to house sit. Our previous experience with pets includes having cats for thirty years and a dog for fifteen years. We have used house sitters ourselves on a number of occasions so appreciate what is involved.

I am a pet owner myself so know what is required to look after family pets. I would have no hesitation in welcoming Martin & Wendy to housesit our family home & pet. They are both reliable ethical honest organised & professional in everything they do so have no hesitation in recommending them as the ideal sitters.

I have known Wendy for many years and I am more than happy to recommend her without reservation. She is actively involved with her community and is totally trustworthy. She and her husband Martin are kind and compassionate and I would be 100% happy to leave my beloved pet in their care. They will care for their surroundings as if they were their own .

I have known Wendy (and Martin) for many years. They are both very honest, reliable, responsible and curtious. Wendy has great organisational skills and during her working years put them to good use. She has run her own business in the past and Martin has recently retired from an accounting business that he was in partnership in. They enjoy travelling and exploring different parts of the world and have travelled extensively, particularly over the past few years. They are both very pet friendly and have had a dog as a big part of their family in the recent past. They have always maintained a tidy house both inside and out. I would have no hesitation in recommending them as responsible members of the TrustedHousesitters organisation.
