The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
James and Sissi are the sweetest couple. Ready to help in any situation. Even ready to take on 15 newly acquired geese, and that's from having previous homestead experience (Steve did attack one which James calmly sorted out before we got back). Super tidy and very trustworthy, animals were happy and so were we! We will welcome them back and wish them safe travels :)

Liane and Wes
Liane and Wes looked after my Benee and home for almost six weeks. I couldn’t have asked for better housesitters. They kept me updated occasionally with pics and news of Benee which I appreciated. When I arrived home Benee was so happy and content, and had obviously had a wonderful time! My home was immaculate! Thank you Liane and Wes - Benee and I look forward to next time!

Kim and Sally were an absolute joy to have as house/pet sitters! They kept us updated with newsy emails regarding our two cats! We came home to two very happy and contented cats and a spotless house. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Kim and Sally to anyone wanting kind,friendly and reliable house sitters. I hope that one day they will return to visit us!

We love travel, we love animals! Active, non-smoking NZ/UK couple available now!
I am writing this review because it looks as though I don’t rate them but the real reason is that they couldn’t come because we were all locked down last year and had to stay at home! Really wished I’d met them… I’m sure they would have been great! I give them five stars anyway 👍

Pet-Loving Kiwi Family of 3 - Exploring the World in 2024
Karen and her daughter Maya were excellent sitters. They are very kind, tranquil and reliable persons. We met on the day of their arrival and they took the time to get to know the house and our cat Rufus. Communication was very easy and correct during our trip. Karen had washed the sheets they used and the house was tidy when we got home, which was nice. Our old cat Rufus is losing his eyesight and is therefore easily scared but Karen and Maya managed to gain his confidence quickly. He was very at ease and well fed when we got back home. We would surely recommend Karen and Maya and were happy to have them as housesitters🍀😻👍

Experienced, trustworthy, flexible, pet loving Kiwi/Brit couple.
We feel extremely lucky that Carole and Paul came to stay and look after our dog Sammy whilst we were away. Unusually we were able to meet in person beforehand which was brilliant. As soon as i met them i knew Sammy and the house were in excellent hands. Carole updated me occasionally to reassure me all was well and sent pictures of Sammy on lovely walks. When we returned the house was spotless and we were totally spoilt as they had left us some homemade soda bread and beautiful kiwi gifts. Carole had washed the bedding and towels and Paul had even mowed the lawn!! We are extremely grateful for the love and care they gave Sammy and i imagine he was very disappointed to see them go. I hope that if they are back in the UK they will consider staying at Stable Cottage again. Thank you Carole and Paul for everything.

VINTAGE GYPSY AND HUBBY SEARCHING FOR YOUR LITTLE PIECE OF PARADISE
Sandy and Gary were great, very charming, helpful and loved the dogs, which is the most important thing to me. They kept us updated, off their own bat decided to do more watering because of the weather and Sandy even deadheaded the roses for me, for which I am really grateful. The house was left immaculate, towels were washed, bed stripped and everywhere hoovered. Many thanks Sandy. We would highly recommend them and would be delighted if they would come back.

A Kiwi looking to travel & allow you to travel knowing your home & pets are safe
Lemon and our home were well taken care of under Garry's care! Garry is a great communicator and very thorough. We came home to a very clean house and a happy dog! Thanks Garry!
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!! We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.
