Providing Pet Sitting in the Rangitikei District, New Zealand
Handy pet & coffee-loving couple, in Europe and UK for a year! Own transport.
Samantha and Gareth are super house sitters and a fun loving very reliable couple. We couldn’t have asked for better. The cats were in tip top condition as was house when they left. A pleasure to meet and we hope they come back again.

TAKE A BREAK WITH CONFIDENCE
This is the second time that Gary and Yvonne have house sat for us and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. We have found them reliable with good communication prior to and during the house sit. The property is clean, tidy and well looked after when we return, as are the animals (cat, chickens, sheep). Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are both great company too. Thank you both once again.

Trusted house sitters / nomads / startup founder / programmer
Chante and Theunis were 5-STAR sitters and have set the bar really high for future sitters. They were absolutely amazing. Firstly our dog China was so calm and well groomed upon our return, which was evident of how well they looked after him. Secondly, they went over and above of what we expected of them to manage our airbnb, which is a clear indication of their beautiful & dedicated characters. Thirdly, they were working remotely from our home and communicated well, keeping us informed of China's well being and were diligent in managing the alarm, which was important to us and which we really appreciated. Chante and Theunis are responsible young professionals who clearly indicated that they can deal with various situations and solve problems practically and easily which enabled us to have a relaxing holiday. Thank you so much!

We are Xanthe and Felix, a young creative couple from New Zealand.
Xanthe and Felix looked after our Border Collie, birds, guinea pig and chooks for the weekend and were brilliant! Super easy to communicate with and offered brief updates throughout their stay. Whilst we didn't meet them in person we were grateful for their attention to our pets! We wish them both well on the future travels :)

Active, caring, professional couple who love animals and experiencing the new.
Came back to find both home and cat in perfect condition. Vicki and Chris were easy to communicate with prior to and during the sit and we appreciated the occasional pics of a clearly happy pet whilst we were away. Would happily have Vicki and Chris for future sits, and so would Millie (cat)!

Caring, clean and tidy house and pet sitter from New Zealand
Charmaine and Tim were wonderful house sitters. They looked after our little old cat with great care and communicated with us regularly with updates about how she was going. They also cleaned our house and washed and changed the linen which made our return from holidays so much easier. We would recommend them very highly to anyone.

New Zealand couple who live on a farm so have great experience with animals
This was my first time using a sitter and I honestly dont think i couldve got better, Toni and Jakob were just brilliant. They suggested they came the day before we left which was a really good idea and gave us a chance to spend time with them. While we were away we were kept up to date with daily reports and photos of the dogs which was really reassuring. They are the nicest people who had a genuine interest in our dogs and gave them the best care. I would recommend them highly and would havw no hesitation using another sitter

Maggie was a dream house and pet sitter. Our original sitter let us down at the last minute so it was a frantic search to find someone else to fill the gap. She was a very lucky find for us. Nothing was too much trouble for Maggie. I left her a pile of instructions, as I am a very fussy home owner and I must say, the house was pristine when we got home. Maggie sent regular pictures & updates on Jock, who from what I can gather, was more than happy with the arrangement! I would thoroughly recommend Maggie for any future house-sits. We had no problem entrusting her to our new home and crazy little dog.
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
