About this sitter

We are a retired couple, living in Omokoroa, New Zealand (near Tauranga). We are currently looking for house sits in Europe between 1 June and 3 July (flights are already booked).
We adore dogs (and animals in general) and have both had dogs and cats around us for most of our lives. However, we currently have none of our own pets (except gold fish), but for the past 6 years we have been minding other people's pets, including guinea pigs and hens! We mainly look after them in our own home or I do day visits at theirs. We love each animal's individual character, and they never fail to make us laugh with their antics!

Although I was born in Germany, I grew up in India and South Africa.

My partner, Werner is also originally from Germany, but lived in Perth for over 30 years before coming to New Zealand, where we met 8 years ago. In Perth he had his own chickens and ducks.

We like cycling and walking.

Why they want to house sit

Since we also love traveling it seems the perfect solution to explore the world, while looking after other people's pets and experiencing the area like a local.

Their experience

Our services are mainly boarding pets at our home (repeat clients only), day visits and walking.

Apart from pet minding in New Zealand, we have done a house sit in Australia recently via TrustedHouseSitters. We enjoyed it so much that we want to do more.

I also volunteered at the SPCA for 4 years on weekends when I was still working fulltime in Auckland 8 years ago.

What can they bring to the assignment

We are a conscientious and responsible couple who enjoy nature and a quiet lifestyle and do not need much external entertainment.

Testimonials

Caroline and Werner are great home sitters!

Caroline and Werner took care of our house for almost 2 weeks, we had no pets. The contact with them was very easy and they were trustful, reliable and the house was in good hands. They left before we came and all was in good clean shape, just fantastic! I can warmly recommend them as house sitters and would welcome them back again! Thank you Caroline and Werner from bottom of our harts! 💓
