Mamma Bear & Co
About
We are a semi-retired couple who used to live on a rural lifestyle block and have lived with and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, chooks, goats, sheep, and horses. We don’t currently have fur-babies as we have just downsized and are now temporary urbanites. I am a keen gardener, fastidious housekeeper, and lover of the outdoors. I have also been known to do a bit of cooking on the side. We are looking for our slice of paradise to call home, so house/pet sitting is a great way for us to travel the country while we search for that ‘little’ corner of Aotearoa that makes our hearts sing. Having done this for a few months now, we consider ourselves to be well travelled house sitters who have experienced just about everything life could possibly throw at you. Your lovely home and much loved pets are guaranteed the best of care, though we absolutely refuse to fall in love with them. Glowing personal references can be supplied should they be required. Cheers, Rosie & Mike
