About Jo and Des

64 years old | Retired Professional | As a couple/duo

We have had many pets over the years, including cats and dogs. Des had Cocker Spaniels and Jo had an apricot poodle, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and lots of cats. Our travel lifestyle now includes our 'adopted local dogs' and your pets which we love as our own.

We have many years experience in home/garden care and maintenance, cosmetic home repair and decorating, along with garden design. We are caring, meticulous people who bring loyalty, consistency, trustworthiness and resourcefulness to all our experiences and adventures.

We have both owned our own homes for many years.

Presently we are living in our own home in Queenstown, New Zealand. We also own rental properties which we manage ensuring tenants are kept happy and the properties are looked after.

Integrity and respect for maintaining a home-owner's privacy and personal property is fundamental to us.

In addition to the above, we are unencumbered, which means we are free to travel at any time. We are also in excellent health, have very good morals and work ethics. We do not have any young children, nor do we smoke or have any other addictive habits.

As we travel too much to have our own pets we're here to make friends and care for yours.

We are reliable and once we commit to your sit we will be there.

Although we have not sat through this platform, we have petsit all round the world and have references on other platforms.

There is more information about us and our references on our blog.

Jo and Des are extremely reliable and very friendly. They took great care of or garden and of Rocky, sending us Whatsapp messages and video on a daily or so basis, (even though we did not ask for them so frequently!). Up on our return, we found the house, the garden and Rocky in very good condition and they welcomed us with a yummy curry./ We could not have asked for anything more. We highly recommend Jo and Des if you need house and pet sitters
