Highlights
Pet care experience
Kiwi couple who love pets 🐾
Hi! We’re Hunter and Charlotte, a friendly couple from Wellington, New Zealand who absolutely love dogs and cats 🐶🐱 We’ve been together for 5 years and live together in Bristol. We both work professional jobs, with one of us working remotely most of the time and the other working hybrid, so we’re often around the house and able to give pets plenty of company and attention. We’ve recently started house sitting through BorrowMyDoggy and have really loved the experience so far. We’ve looked after all sorts of dogs, from high-energy Kelpies who need plenty of exercise and playtime to a much more relaxed Basset Hound who is perfectly happy taking things at their own pace. We love long walks, playing with dogs and, of course, plenty of cuddles! Outside of work, we’re both outdoorsy and enjoy exploring, walking and getting out into nature. That said, we’re definitely more of a quiet night-in couple than a party couple, so we’re very happy spending an evening at home with a furry companion. We don’t currently have pets of our own, but we’re hoping to adopt a greyhound when we eventually return to New Zealand. House sitting is a lovely way for us to enjoy having animals around while getting to know different breeds and personalities along the way. We’re also naturally clean, tidy and respectful people. We enjoy keeping a nice home and are more than happy to help with the odd household chore, plants, bins or anything else that helps keep things running smoothly while you’re away. Most importantly, we understand that leaving your pets with someone is a big deal. We’ll stick to their routines, give them plenty of attention and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy and well cared for. 🐾

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
We understand that trusting someone with your pets and home is a big responsibility. We have references from our previous house sits and are always happy to provide these to give you extra peace of mind. For us, the key to keeping a pet safe and happy is understanding them properly before you leave. We like to have a thorough handover with owners covering their routine, personality, feeding, walks, any quirks, boundaries, recall, medication and anything else we should know. No detail is too small — the better we understand your pet, the better we can care for them. We’ll keep pets in their familiar environment and stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. We’re careful with doors, gates and access to the home, and will always prioritise their safety. We’re also naturally clean, tidy and respectful of other people’s homes. With one of us working mostly remotely and the other hybrid, we’re around the house a lot, so pets will have plenty of company. We’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your time away and get in touch promptly if anything unexpected comes up.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. With one of us working mostly remotely and the other working hybrid, we’re around the home a lot and can give pets plenty of company and attention throughout the day. We’re happy to follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, toilet breaks, medication and anything else they need. We enjoy getting out for long walks and playing with dogs, but are equally happy spending time at home with them — whether that’s keeping them company, giving them some attention or letting them relax beside us while we work. We’re also very happy to keep on top of the less glamorous jobs! We’ll make sure food and water bowls are kept clean, litter trays and outdoor areas are looked after, and any accidents or mess are dealt with promptly. We know every pet is different, so we’re happy to adapt our routine to their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable and settled while you’re away.
