Dog Sitters in Christchurch

Victoria

I was delighted Victoria could sit for me a second time! I came home to two contented cats, and a clean and tidy house. As before, it was straightforward to make arrangements with Victoria; arrival and departure times suited me well. I can highly recommend Victoria !

Michelle & Matthew

Michelle and her friend Sarah were fantastic house sitters and took great care of our dog Billy. Communication with Michelle was seamless - she is so lovely, from the initial phone call to her staying the night before our trip, I knew our house (and Billy) would be in safe hands. Additionally, while we were away, we received lots of photos/messages which was great - and Michelle and Sarah were both very patient when Billy was a bit naughty waking them up early (and sniffing for snacks!) I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a house sitter - would welcome them back anytime.

Diana & Malcolm

I was delighted to have Diana and Malcolm stay in my home and look after my two cats for a second time. Once again I returned to a spotlessly clean and tidy home and two content and well looked after cats. Diana sent me updates and photos throughout the stay. Diana and Malcom were very self-sufficient and reliable. Highly recommend and I do hope they will be free to return!

Peter & Debbie

We were fortunate enough to meet up with Peter and Debs before they came to sit for us. They were very happy and willing to meet and talk through the details of our three dogs. Quite a task to take on three and one we wanted them to fully be comfortable with. They are a charming couple and were very organised and kind towards our dogs. Our home was left clean and tidy for our arrival. Happy to recommend such lovely people to anyone with dogs.

Laura & Gavin

We’re so lucky to have found Laura and Gavin! They look after the dogs as if they are their own and the house is always immaculate on return. We’re very grateful!

Keiko

This was a very short and very last minute sit. Keiko is lovely and we felt very lucky that she was available. Our dogs were instantly taken with her and we received regular updates. Highly recommend Keiko.

Heidi & Ian

Heidi was a fantastic sitter, very reliable and great communication while we were away. Received photos of the furry kids each day which was lovely. Highly recommend.

Will & Lily

Thank you Lily and Will for taking care of our home and animals whilst we were on holiday. Great communication, left the house tidy. Lovely couple.

Roshana

Roshana was a fantastic sitter! East to communicate with, tidy and took excellent care of our cat. Would definitely recommend to others and would be happy to have her sit again.

Aisha

Aisha was wonderful, she provided regular updates on Buddy and pics. She did a fantastic job dealing with a flea infestation - which I am very grateful for. I came home to a happy cat and a clean and tidy flat. Aisha was even kind enough to feed my neighbour’s cats when she was away. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aisha as a great sitter !

Raluca

Raluca and Paul are a lovely couple, very well organised and the best pet and house sitters. They took great care of Mojo, our house and our plants while we were on holiday. Our senior dog, Mojo, was very pampered and exceptionally well cared for during our time away. Communication was so easy via Whatsapp. Raluca kept us updated throughout and sent us some great photos of Mojo. On return our house and garden were very clean and tidy, and our plants well watered. We were so relaxed when we were gone, knowing that Mojo was in such caring hands. We really appreciated that they stayed one night longer than originally planned so Mojo was alone for only a few hours. It was great to come back to a happy dog and tidy house and they even left us some gifts from Romania. Thank you very much, Raluca and Paul. You are always welcome at our home!

Rose

Rose was great, and we felt really comfortable leaving our cats and home in her care. Very quick and easy to deal with, gave us regular updates and left the house clean and tidy. Thanks Rose

Mica

We are so thrilled and blessed to have found Diana and trusted in her to complete her first sit with zeewoi.  Truly, we could not have been more pleased, and we don't think our critters could have been more pleased and at ease with our two week absence.  Diana is simply a pro.  She provided exactly the right amount of communication complete with pictures showing the critters were truly happy.  She handled an unforeseen challenge of receiving a piece of furniture and coordinated the white glove delivery with ease.  You just can't go wrong with Diana, and we are really looking forward to anytime she is able to stay at our home and care for our critters again!  Thanks for such an amazing stay!

Randy and Nancy

Overall Samantha was good but I was a bit concerned about communications during the sit.  She sent pictures daily, which was good, but did not answer all of my questions when asked.  

And her friend was a bit of a mystery as she did not intro her to us as her husband was not available to be with her this sit.  We found out later she was pregnant, not that there was a problem but things can happen....

We did have some damage to the guest room closet doors which was a bit of a surprise.  Not a huge issue but again, communication would have been nice.

And a few pillows were removed from the living room and stuffed into the top shelf of the guest room closet.  Weird and again, no prior communication until I asked about it.

Scott

It was a pleasure having Joe cat-sit at our apartment in East Harlem while we were away for an extended weekend. Our cat is slow to warm up to new people, but Joe clearly has experience with shy animals. He and our cat Freyja became friends in no time. Joe is super professional, and we'd recommend him to anyone in need of a pet-sitter!
