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 :)

We love to make that special effort for your pets
Elizabeth was an amazing petsitter for our little dog Molly. She sent us photos and updates throughout her stay so we always knew Molly was doing great. Elizabeth was very communicative before the sit and even offered to come a few days early to meet us and Molly. She was so friendly at we felt great about having her stay at our house. When we got home the house was so tidy and in great condition. I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a petsitter!!!

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!

Mature, trustworthy, reliable, animal loving couple .
Marcus and Gina looked after our animals for 17 days while we went on holiday. They sent me photos every second day of my dog out on walks, this made me feel at ease knowing she was safe and happy. I also asked them to look after my cow, this was out of their comfort zone but they did a great job of feeding him twice a day. They left my house spotless. I would highly recommend them to others

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 👍

Adventurous NZ family eager to care for your home and pets with love.
Niall & Grace and their three kids took such great care of our house and especially our dogs. We can tell the dogs were loved and given lots of attention while we were away. We couldn't ask for more. The dogs even seemed a little sad the day after we returned, looking around the house for their new friends. Our small garden in the yard was still thriving after a week of extreme heat. The house was left spotless (again), ready for us to just climb into bed after a long day of travel. The thank-you notes signed by the whole family was a wonderful addition. They are all welcome back anytime.

Looking to re-experience life in the UK having lived in New Zealand since 2006
Patience and Rory were absolutely fantastic house/pet sitters. It’s always quite daunting leaving your furry animal family to people you have just met but they made us feel instantly at ease and we were not worried the whole two weeks we were away. They were incredible and not phased when we have a few electrical issues with the house, which was great. The house was left in immaculate condition and all pets very happy. We would highly recommend them to anyone. They really are a very kind, caring and warm couple.

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.
This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard. Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him! Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Felecia was an excellent sitter and perfect companion for Livi, our 3 yr old Aussie mix! She was always prompt with communication when needed, took great care of our pet and house and was just as clean coming home as we left it. I would not hesitate to recommend Felecia for other sits.
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
Lyndsey and Jordan were wonderful pet sitters and house guests. They kept us informed of how our pets were doing and went above and beyond to care for them. We felt entirely comfortable leaving our home and pets in their hands and arrived home to find everything tidy and the pets well cared for. We would absolutely have them sit again if the need arose.
Kuldip exceeded all the expectations we had from a Zeewoi. She took over from another sitter when we got stuck out of country due to a family emergency. A highly energetic person yet extremely organized, she easily matched the energy level of my 2-year-old Border Collie Pavo. She not only exercised him multiple times every day, but even him bought him new doggy toys and treats (much appreciated!). She got along very well with our neighbor and with their combined help Pavo got a much needed doggy bath! With her by my dogs side we were worry-free and able to focus on our family needs. Lastly, she left a pleasant surprise when we came back home. Our home looked squeaky clean and beautifully organized. Kuldip is a gem of a pet sitter and we would love to have her back for our fur baby without any hesitation. I highly recommend her!
David was a super interesting guy, we had good conversation. My place was clean, my cat was happy...he communicated with me.. David is a great house and pet sitter . He is very gentle, which my cat enjoys.
Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!

Pet Minders are awesome. Our puppy had started to be anxious going to her previous day care so we wanted to try something new. She’s back to being excited to go to day care with Sharon and Jason which has been a big relief. She spent her first night in overnight care there recently and was totally happy, and still excited to go back again for day care (she is former spca so we worried). Our dog is shy of people but clearly comfortable there. Totally recommend pet minders for your dog to have great fun in a safe environment!
We have used Jason and Sharon every time we go away, absolutely fantastic place. Our mind is at ease knowing our dog will be well taken care of. The place is very clean and all areas have had alot of thought and care put into them. Highly recommend pet minders to anyone looking for a safe place for their pet. Keep up the good work.
Yes I'm happy to rate this place , our dog Poppy stayed overnight , we had total peace of mind leaving her in someone else's care for the first time . Friendly, caring staff, BBQ , TV , a big range of pet movies to watch, cozy indoor rooms & big clean courtyards , I would gladly recommend this place to anyone for worry free pet accommodation.
Poppy loves going to Pet Minders. Tail wagging and gets excited as we get closer. She is well cared for and happy. I highly recommend Pet Minders. Their premises are very well set up and so clean too.
we use Petminders everytime we go away as we know our two fur babies will be well looked after by Sharon. We have been using them for over 4 years and wouldn't dream of trusting my pets to anywhere else. i have reccomended them to a lot of our friends.
Luna absolutely loves her days at Pet Minders. She is happy and excited to be with her doggie friends. Sharon and Jason provide a safe, fun and caring place for dogs of all sizes. Pet Minders are highly recommended to all our friends and their dogs. We are definitely glad that we chose Pet Minders out of all the different places available in Whangarei.
It's so hard to leave our dog when we go away for the weekend but we can tell the people at pet minders generally care for the animals and it makes it soo much easier to leave her over the weekend knowing she is with caring people .They are amazing with our greyhound (:
Jason and Sharon are absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! They are exactly what every pet owner (who needs a doggy day care or kennels) needs! Warm, welcoming, understanding, incredibly friendly and supportive, providing a safe space - they are just marvelous! We had to drop off our very anxious and nervous dog for a few nights, and both Jason and Sharon looked after him so beautifully and handled him so well, he was able to mix and socialise fully with the rest of the pack! Can't recommend this PHENOMENAL couple of Pet Minders, enough!! Thank you so much Jason and Sharon!! This is our dog's home away from home 😊😊😊
We use pet minders every time we go away, we have peace of mind knowing Chloe ( chihuahua)is in good hands, Sharon and her hubby are great people and always go the extra mile for us. Very clean and tidy as well. Highly recommended.
Lov Petminders. The facilities are very nice. They are always adding new things to the place. Jason and Sharon are like part of the family now. They always help us with my fer baby. Highly recommend them.
Izzy is so well cared for, she has an absolute ball. The team there are fabulous and really care about the dogs, it's not just a job for them. I can't recommend Klipped highly enough, Kath and the team are stars!!!!
When you pick your baby up from kindy/boarding and she’s been given a groom… you know you took them to the right place!! And that’s just the beginning of the best place to take your fur baby!! Prices are amazing for such a beautiful setup!! My girl flies out the door to get into see her kindy aunties and play with all her friends 🥰 and completely content when I pick her up! Thank you for being an option for us, only place I will take her now!!
My girl just loves it so excited to get there and soo sad to leave
We booked our pup to stay overnight for 5 nights and the team did such a good job! Love the daily photo updates. Our pup looked like she had so much fun. Was our first time boarding and we were a bit nervous but the team were great to reassure us and ease our worries. Thanks team!
Our foxy/jack russell adores Klipped. He starts squealing 2 streets back when we are driving there. The staff are wonderful & Ziggy has a great time. Comes home all tuckered out!
First class, can honestly say every dog comes first. Happy days
Amazing service. Take our dog there weekly for daycare. When leaving the city, there is no other place that I would board our doggy. They are the best in town, and Busby loves them ❤️
This company is amazing they have cared for three of our dogs 🐕 they go above and beyond to make sure your pup's have a amazing day. They are so accommodating and have lovely overnight kennels for stays. …
Klipped takes great care of our fur kids. Highly recommend.
Wow, or should I say bow wow. Rang for appointment thinking have to wait 2-3weeks but no, 4 days. I was so happy with that. I had left my dog for just over 3 months with friends, as I couldn't take him with me and poor man wasn't treated the way I do. Took him into Klipped and was greeted with 2 lovely smiling faces who took my dog. On return they told me he was quite bad with fleas etc and done him twice and bit extra. These girls done a fantastic job on my dog Charlie had to give them a tip.. Their prices are the cheapest up here. I recommend Klipped to anyone to get their dog done with 100% backing from me
Highly recommend What a gem of a place! Dog Zone has such a lovely wairua where the dogs are the VIPs. Katrina and her team work calmly, with warmth and kindness. My two were happy to be left and didn't seem that bothered to come home! Thank you DZ team - we'll be back!
Easy to find very helpful easy enrolling and booking looks like a great place will have more to say my puppy will have his first daycare experience this Thursday i was nervous to leave him but the freindly staff makes me feel very confident he will be well looked after im sure hes going to love it .
We booked 2 night stay at Whangarei but Nela wasn't aloved to stay with us. Katrina was so welcoming and easy to deal with and after we meet her we knew Nela was in great hands 😊 it didn't look like she was keen at all for us to pick her up in the morning 😁 she had a blast 😊 would highly recommend 🙌👌thank you for looking after our girl 😊 …
