Hi, we are Joyce and Brett (New Zealander) Fit and healthy in our 50/60's. Non smokers. Would love to house sit, and look after your lovely animals
Have looked after ducks, dogs, cats, hens, fish, sheep, goats, rabbits, cows, parrots, and a blind goose so far. Enjoy animals, walking, wildlife and coffees! ☕️ Reliable, trustworthy and responsible. Very happy to send you updates and photos during house sit as Brett is a photographer . Please check out our reviews from our sabbatical in New Zealand and time back in England.

Brett and Joyce were great at communicating, and left the hose in great condition. Murphy (dog) seemed very happy and we were really pleased to have had them to stay at Ragwood Farm. Please come again any time!

We and our pets had the pleasure of having Brett and Joyce look after them and our house again for a week. Everyone was well looked after and we came home to a relaxed atmosphere. The house was left nice and tidy. We would recommend Brett and Joyce and we would welcome them back again in the future for any requirements that we may have.

We are delighted to have found Brett and Joyce as Housesitters. A very delightful friendly couple who made us feel so reassured that they were in charge of everything. Our animals took to them straight away and even the naughty goats posed no problems for them. We returned to an immaculate home, very contented animals and even flowers. Thank you both so much.
 
CAROL (Dulverton England, Oct 2024 - 1 week)
Brett and Joyce were a lovely couple who fully embraced our house and various pets. Communication before and during the sit was easy and speedy accommodating to our needs without expecting too much. The house was tidy and clean on our return and Brett had a meal of Lebanese origin waiting for us which was most welcome, delicious and unexpected for our return. Our pets were well looked after. We would recommend them unreservedly and they have agreed to look after our house and pets when we go ... MORE

We appreciated Joyce & Brett's prompt, friendly communication, and the clean and tidy state our place was in when they left. Our animals were well cared for, and the housesit went well, thank you so much. They also offered to stay an extra day to help us out. We can recommend Brett & Joyce as trustworthy people to care for pets and your home. Thank you.
 
MARIA (Silverdale North Island, Apr 2024 - 1 week) From Kiwi House Sitters
Brett and Joyce arrived in good time, and Brett shadowed the pet routine before we left. The house was really clean and tidy when we got home, and the animals ( lots of) were all very relaxed and contented. Communication was good and they left us a really nice card, as they had to leave a few hours before we got home. We would happily have them stay in our home again!

MERYN (Bell Block North Island, Apr 2024 - 1 week 1 night) From Kiwi House Sitters
Brett and Joyce, looked after our wee farm for the weekend. They fed all the animals, cows, sheep, ducks and turkeys, dogs and the cat and walked the dogs and watered the vegetable gardens. We came back to a clean tidy house and they changed the sheets on our bed, which was great to come home too. Brett was good at communicating with us about times that they would arrive and leave. They came out prior to the sit to meet us and the animals, which we appreciated. Brett and Joyce were friendly and ... MORE

Thanks Lisa we wish you all well for the future.
Brett kept in great communication with us and sent photos of how our dog Milo was whilst we were away. We came home to a clean and tidy house and Milo was taken great care of. Thanks

Thank you for your sitting of our pets. Hope you enjoyed it as much as are pets. Enjoy your break away.
 
PHIL (Waikuku Beach South Island, Jan 2024 - 2 nights) From Kiwi House Sitters
Brett & Joyce could not have been more accommodating. We were not in a position to meet prior to the day of our departure but they were aware that we wanted to get away fairly early and needed time to do a walk around so purposely made sure they were close by the night before. Communication throughout the whole process was excellent. They were very keen to understand and clarify what we required from them and we came home to happy animals and a happy garden. The house was also spotless and ... MORE
