Jenny & Nick

Reliable animal-loving British couple living in Kaikoura!

Our experience

10+ years

We've looked after animals of all ages and sizes, and with various care needs. One house sit in 2024 was looking after a gorgeous cat with high anxiety. After a few days of sussing us out, she started trusting us and we soon became best

Jenny and Nick were outstanding sitters for our Jessie. 4 month Jack Russell is a challenge and they handled her really well. Cannot recommend Jenny highly

Jenny & Nick looked after Ali and Zac’s pets & home

Jenny and Nick house/pet sat for us for about 5 weeks. We felt very comfortable and reassured having them in our home and with our pets. They cared for our 3 chickens and 1 cat and looked after our house. Our cat, Velvet, is very weary of strangers and tends to hide whenever anyone comes over. Within the first week, they had befriended her and Velvet fell in love with them! She was out and about playing and giving them cuddles. I think this was because they were so attentive and made special effort to care for our pets. We couldn't recommend them enough. The house was very clean and tidy when we arrived home, which was also so nice after our long journey. Thanks so much Nick and Jen! (Velvet misses you!)
