Pet Sitters in Hawea Flat

Emily

Our dogs LOVED Emily! We are so grateful to have had Emily come and stay while we were away. She took extra special care of our two dogs and listened with care to all the small details, quirks and instructions we left about our dogs. She took them for long walks on the beach each day and I could tell that they were sad that she left. Emily kept in touch with us while were were away to let us know what they'd been upto and if she had any questions. She kept the house nice and tidy and we even arrived to freshly baked cookies! What more could you want? Not only is Emily the best house/pet sitter EVER we've also made a new friend :) We're already planning when we will meet again!

Lyn

Lyn and Frank were the perfect sitters. A lovely couple and a delight to have stay with us. They kept in touch during our trip and our cats were very well looked after. On our return the house was immaculate with fresh flowers and cheese and wine prepared for us after our journey.....what a treat! Lyn had noticed my gluten free food and had thoughtfully bought gf bread for breakfast the next morning together with fresh eggs and milk. Lyn and Frank made our trip extra special and we can’t thank them enough for their kindness.

Jocelyn

Joss and her family were a pleasure to have sit for us. They took amazing care of the pets and the house, gave us regular updates and were reliable and organised. They definitely treated Burt like one of the family and included him on their adventures! The house was left very clean and tidy which was hugely appreciated after a late return for us. Highly recommend as sitters.

Lucy

Lucy and Pedro were delightful, such a lovely couple. I had no worries while I was away. My neighbours feedback was Lucy and Pedro were out walking the dogs all the time. I think the dogs got more exercise than when we are home and were quite probably put out when we came home. The house was super tidy and clean on our return. Communication was brilliant, we only conversed a few times while away, but we always received prompt replies. I would highly recommend Lucy and Pedro to housesit, look after pets and lots of Plants, all of which looked amazing when we returned. I feel that our pets were well cared for and very much loved with snuggles while we were way and would definitely love Lucy to housesit in the future.

Ruenell

Mike and Ruenell were great – prompt, communicative and friendly. And the kids were Delightful – really helpful and polite.

Diane

We had Mark and Diane house and pet sit for us for 3 weeks, they took exceptional care of our 3 fur babies, loving them like their own by making sure they played ball twice a day and had enormous amounts of love. Diane messaged me daily to check in and send lots of photos. We returned home to a house cleaner than we left it! Diane even went out of her way to buy and pot a few flowers. We are forever grateful we had such loving house sitters so we could enjoy our holiday stress free knowing our dogs were being so well looked after, we hope to have Diane and Mark back again for our next holiday!

Melissa

I feel we struck the jackpot with Melissa. Our dog Ace is a rescue so has some quirky habits, Melissa was nothing but sympathetic to his needs and loved him just as much as we do. Communicating with us as to his routines and habits prior to leaving. While away we received lovely photos and videos of Aces adventures. When we returned Ace was happy and settled. The house was immaculate and extras such as baking and harvested vegetables. We could not have asked for a more considerate, empathetic and lovely person. Would recommend without hesitation.

Katherine & Teegan

Katherine and Teegan looked after Kobe for 3 days while Dave & I were away. They were both amazing - they sent lots of photos of Kobe and shared regular updates. Kobe can be very nervous meeting new people and he was obsessed with them both by the end of the stay. They left the house in perfect condition and we would have them both back to stay in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Katherine and Teegan.

Sim & Camila

I would definitely recommend Simon and Camilla. they were super nice and friendly, they took great care of my cat Pixie and gave her lots of love. The house was lovely and tidy and weeding had been done. Very happy to have them house/cat sitting anytime.

Madeline & Mathieu

We were so very grateful and happy with how well our dogs and home were cared for by Madeline and Mathieu. They came and met us before the sit and the dogs were already comfortable by the time we left. We got regular updates, photos and videos to keep in contact. The house was perfectly clean when we got home and the dogs happy and well cared for. We can highly recommend Madeline and Mathieu to take good care. Many thanks, Merci!

Juliette

Tui dog loved having Juliette to look after her. She particularly enjoyed the long energetic walkies :) Juliette has an easy going nature and looked after our house and pets perfectly. We have no problem recommending her to others.

Marion & Richard

We came back to an incredibly clean house and everything exactly in place. Our pet dog had been well loved and was already very fond of Marion. The donkeys and chickens had been equally well cared for. I hadn't thought to leave instructions for changing a gas bottle, but this was no problem for Marion and Richard. They were a lovely couple and we recommend them unreservedly.

Laurie

Just spent a lovely week at Sam and Laurie’s home in Chertsey caring for their delightful cat Jasmine .

The home is located within walking distance of Chertsey High street with an array of restaurants , cafes, bars and shops and there are great links to London and Surrey Hills. 

Laurie and Sam are such a lovely couple and we received a great welcome from them both during a pre visit which enabled them to walk and talk us through Jasmine’s routine and expectations for the sit. They also have a very detailed manual of information to aid one in caring for the home and their furry baby . 

Jasmine is just adorable, affectionate and fun to be around. She is a very independent cat but also loves the contact and companionship of humans . She is in a great routine that she thrives on and makes for an enjoyable sit. 

Communication with Laurie and Sam continued in their absence as we all checked in with each other to make sure all was well and aided a trouble free sit for all concerned .

Thank you for letting us stay in your home Laurie and Sam ,  it has been our pleasure getting to know you all, especially Jasmine .If you ever need us in the future we would be there in a heart beat.  Miss you already Jasmine .

Paul & Catherine

I was a little of wary of looking after geese as part of the sit for Paul and Catherin's poultry however it was far easier than I anticipated. Paul has all the runs organised and a dertailed system of feeding and care provided for sitters. I enjoyed my first experience of geese!

Paul and Catherine are friendly hosts and kindly invited me to join them in meals before they left and on their return. 

The house has the most amazing view from the sunroom where I often watched the sun rise over Loch Dunvegan., The guest bedroom has a very comfortable bed and the ensuite a lovely shower.

Thank you for inviting me to sit for you.
