Dog Sitting in Wanganui

This is the 4th time Miriam has looked after our dog, Charlie, during the past year and each time he welcomes her as an old friend. She is totally reliable and practical which means we can go away without any concerns in the knowledge that she will care for the house and Charlie as we would ourselves. We would welcome her back any time. An excellent housesitter - recommended without hesitation.

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.

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 :)

Bozena and Rick were reliable, friendly, and self-sufficient dog sitters. I felt comfortable leaving my house and puppy in their hands. They took my dog for several long walks, including in the woods, which I’m sure she enjoyed. They are welcome back anytime!

Bernadette was a fantastic and energetic house sitter and looked after our dog Whispa really well. She arrived in time for me to explain everything and immediately bonded with Whispa. I put Bernadette on our car insurance and she drove with confidence and assurance. She absorbed all my instructions with ease. She was very tidy and looked after everything in our home. Everything was super tidy and organized when we returned. While we were away, Whispa ran into the bushes, which she always does, and incredibly unluckily cut herself on something sharp which required some stitches and wearing a cone collar for several days to prevent her from licking the wound. Bernadette was completely amazing in her handling of the situation. Whispa could not have had better care and didn’t actually suffer at all as a result. We were concerned that Bernadette’s trip had been spoilt but she just organized herself around the situation and never once expressed any concern for herself, only for Whispa. She kept in good contact with us and sent photos so we felt in touch with all that was going on. When we came home Whispa still followed Bernadette around and continued to sleep in her room during the few days she stayed on with us. This was Bernadette’s first sit for a dog (as opposed to cats) and she really got thrown in at the deep end but she came out with flying colours and we will be eternally grateful to her for the loving care she gave to Whispa. I would highly recommend Bernadette to anyone looking for a really competent house and pet sitter and I hope she will be able to come back and look after Whispa for us again another day.

Ema is the best person for your pets. I met Ema and wanted to stay to hang with her, she’s that much fun and good spirit. When I got back she waited for me and to meet my 3 girls. She helped me enormously by making my house super clean (even those places I never do) and gardens looked amaaaazing. She went over and above to help me and got me leaving present and my girls. I love Ema!!!!

Danielle was a terrific pet sitter and took great care of our property, Highly reocmmended.

Margo and Aaron were amazing sitters. They have looked after our cats before and we were delighted for them return. They gave a lot of time to playing with our two indoor cats, one of which is very nervous. With patience they won him round and he became settled. The videos and What’s Ap messages were fun and informative. Margo and Aaron kept us up to date with cat news! When we arrived home our house was immaculate ( we don’t have a cleaner). We would be extremely happy for them to come to us a third time if they ever wanted to brave the heat where we live ( although a/c helps!). I’d be happy to give them more than 5 stars if that’d be an option! Thank you Margo and Aaron.

Merinda was the best sitter we could have asked for! She was reliable and trustworthy, as well as self sufficient. She kept us updated and looked after Hal so well, playing ball with her and taking her on walks. Everything was a breeze and she really put us at ease, as we were nervous to leave Hal with someone we didn’t know for 5 nights but I didn’t need to be worried. Hal loves her! Thank you so much.

We can highly recommend Tris, she was delightful, friendly, caring, organised and extremely tidy. Even though she only dog sat Widget for a long weekend, they formed a strong bond. Tris kept us informed of what they were up to and sent through photos of one very happy dog while we were away. We came back to an immaculate house and she had even weeded some of our garden and watered our plants. We will definitely keep in contact with Tris as we feel she has become a friend and anyone would be lucky to have her look after their pet.
