As a couple/duo
We are a Kiwi (NZ) couple in our early 60s who love to travel, make new friends, become part of the community in which we find ourselves anywhere in the world, embracing the culture of the country and region.
Jen is a budding writer and Peter plays double bass in one of New Zealands top Jazz bands (who regularly tour internationally), as well as managing his web development business. Our professions allow us to work remotely from anywhere in the world with a good internet connection.
Since we began housesitting we have had many wonderful adventures looking after pets and homes in New Zealand, Australia, France, Germany and UK and have been asked back by the owners of all of these places as housesitters and friends. Currently we do not have pets of our own so get our fix of cuddles by caring for other peoples pets and their homes worldwide, keeping in touch while they are away to reassure them their pets are being cared for and sending photos if they like.
We have a wealth of experience in caring for animals between us. Jen ran a deer farm for 10 years (one of those years by herself) while also working in town full time. Between the two of us we have had the privilege of caring for deer (170 of them), cattle - Jen named all of them (making for tears when it came time to sell them), dogs, cats, chickens and a couple of very naughty goats :-) SInce embarking on our housesitting adventures we have added fish, sheep, bees and swimmimg pools to our areas of expertise.
We are practical, easy going, keep a very clean house and are respectful of other peoples homes. Our references from happy home owners bear testament to this. In addition to references we also have police checks for your peace of mind.
If you think we may be the kind of people that you would like to take care of your home and pets while you have a break, please get in touch. We are happy to Skype so you can get to know us a bit better.

Community opinion
Bulle, Switzerland - August 2017
J'ai beaucoup apprécié Peter ard Jen. Nous avons passez de très moments. Ils sont très investis dans leurs rôles d'homes sitters. Mes plantes et mes chats ont adoré. Je retrouve un appartement propre et rangé. Je les recommande sans hésitation. Je compte bien aller en Nouvelle Zélande pour écouter Peter et son groupe et papoter avec Jen. Tout de bon. I really enjoyed to spent time with Jen and Peter. That was great. They are very much invested in their roles as homesitters. My plants and cats loved it. I found a clean and tidy apartment. I recommend them without hesitation. I plan to go to New Zealand to listen to Peter and his band and chat with Jen. I wish them All the best.
