Hello

We are Seirian and James, a young couple in our early 20s eager to travel and explore the world. We are from New Zealand, and have been house/pet sitting since 2022. We have spent the past few years traveling around New Zealand looking after a variety of animals

James is a Master's student at Victoria University of Wellington. Outside of study he enjoys snowboarding, mountain biking and being outdoors (like walking dogs!). James' personal website can be found here james.sjhl.nz.

Seirian has a passion for photography and design, and is always on the lookout for opportunities to capture beautiful moments. With more flexible hours, she likes to go for walks and explore new places. She has a deep affection for animals and loves getting to spend time with each and every one of them. Seirian's photography website can be found at sbrphotography.co.nz.

House Sitting

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Our adventure in house / pet sitting began in 2022, and since then we have taken great pleasure in caring for people’s beloved pets and homes. Both of us are setup as remote workers so will be at home during the day to keep your furry friends company. In addition, James has a passion for gardening, making garden care a breeze. Our tidy and respectful nature ensures that your home will be in pristine condition upon your return. We also understand the importance of staying connected with your pets, and we are happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout your absence.

James and Seirian were fabulous house sitters. Their communication was excellent, they sent updates and lovely photos of our dog Skye. Additionally our house was immaculately clean when we got home! This was our first experience of having house sitters in our home and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Thanks James and Seirian! - Maria

Seirian and James are a wonderful young couple who cared for our property and animals during our time away. James kept us updated with developments on the property, primarily regarding the goats and their welfare. We arrived back home to find the house clean and spotless, with all the animals in excellent health. We certainly recommend this couple to any homeowner looking for a reliable pair of hands (or two)! Thanks so much, James and Seirian, we look forward to having you return in the future for another housesit. - John

Seirian & James met with us the day before we departed on our 6 week holiday. They are a very personable couple and took the role of caring for our home and animals very professionally and with great enthusiasm. We came home to very happy cats and chickens and an extremely clean home. Nothing seemed to be a problem and any issues they had they solved them. We would highly recommend them, and they will definitely be our first communication if we require house sitters again. - Fiona

Seirian and James did an outstanding job for us looking after our dog Holly. They are lovely, caring, responsible and reliable young adults who clearly love animals and we were very happy to leave them in charge of our dog and house while we were away. We came home to a lovely clean house and they had even folded our laundry! Our dog was looking well loved and cared for when we got home and I actually think she missed them more than us when we got back! 😆 Totally recommend Seirian and James! - Jason and Nadia

Seirian and James were awesome house-sitters. The two dogs (Emma and Charlie) were happy and well looked after. The house was left in immaculate condition with sheets and towels washed and the bed remade. Communication was great and we received updates and photos. I would highly recommend this couple to anyone needing a house-sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pets and home. - Amanda

Our first experience and we struck gold! Nothing was a problem, Seirian and James extended their stay when we had incorrectly told them return dates. Communication was excellent and enabled us to have a relaxing break. Coming home to a well maintained house and garden was simply the best. We even felt our three cats were disappointed we were back and James and Seirian had gone! Thank you Seirian and James, We wish you all the best. - Catherine

Seirian and James are a lovely couple who did a wonderful job of looking after our house and two dogs. The house looked spotless on arrival and they had remade the bed and done all the laundry. Their communication was great and photos of the dogs were sent to us showing them going on beach walks and looking very happy. Our plans were up in the air and they were very obliging about fitting in with us and making it all work. James also mowed our lawns which was the icing on the cake. They are a super couple and I have no hesitation recommending them. - Lizzie

We had Seirian and James house sit for us for a week, we came home to a happy dog and a tidy home, they had cleaned all the linen and made the bed. The house looked lovely. We were so grateful to get a young couple that were happy to just chill at home with our pets. Thanks again for your help we were much appreciated and would welcome them back anytime - Melanie
