Cat Sitters in Hobsonville

John & Barbara

John and Barbara were wonderful! They took such great care of our pets and of the house - it was spotless when we returned and our dog and cat both missed them! They were very communicative and always kept in contact, giving us peace of mind while we were on our travels. I would highly recommend them!

Jade & Cameron

Jade and Cameron were fantastic sitters. Aside from being very well organised, reliable, in time and great communicators, the biggest testament to their quality as great dog sitters were the pictures I got of Elton being groomed by Cameron. Elton’s initial reaction to all men (including Cameron) was a loud and worried bark of “and who are you and what do you want here”? Which will then be followed by anything for wariness to total faith. As the grooming session demonstrated, Cameron won Elton’s trust (he is very reluctant to be groomed, at least in the past he was). I got many wonderful and funny pictures from Jade, house was in great shape, my only complain is that they live to far away to come often but if you ever have the option to host them, do not hesitate. Great experience!! Thank you for taking such good care of my beloved Syria and Elton.

Penny

From the moment we met Penny we were filled with a sense of relief and satisfaction that her reviews were accurate and our pets and home would be safe under her care. Penny is very composed and well organised and proved to be reliable. She was up front in advising she would be away most of the time and checking that would be OK. The pets seemed to be very happy stress free on our return and you wouldn't know there had been anyone living in our home. Everything was exactly as we had left it, except that bins and litter had been emptied. We trusted Penny to use our car while away and she left it in great condition with a full tank of petrol. We would love to have Penny again and highly recommend her as a caring and thoughtful pet sitter.

Pablo

Suzy and Pablo did such a great job looking after Tinkerbell, Sherman and our home. They had made an effort to come and meet us and the animals previously and this resulted in a perfect handover when we left. We came home to a beautifully clean home with all linen already washed, bread and milk in the fridge and very happy animals. I would happily have to see for us again and highly recommend them.

Tenille

Tenille and Josh were wonderful Housesitters for Myrtle and Margot our two dachshunds, who clearly took a shine to them both from the moment they met them. Great communication and updates throughout the sit, and we have returned to an immaculate house and two very content dogs. Thank you so much Tenille and Josh, it was a pleasure to have you both here and we hope you enjoy the rest of your travels around Europe.

Emma & Tim

Emma and Tim were brilliant. So conscientious and communicative. Great photos. Lots of little updates. The cats really enjoyed the sit too. Highly recommended.

Marieke

Marieke was the perfect sitter for Billie, Lottie and Fable! She kept the apartment tidy and sent us daily photos and videos of the kitties. We never once felt worried about leaving everything in her care and would definitely welcome her back again :)

Lissa & Luiz Carlos

Lissa and Luiz were amazing petsitters. They could not have done more to take care of both animals and were completely devoted to making sure they were happy and looked after. They are lovely people who I hope to have to stay again sometime.

Moraig

Unfortunately we didn't have the opportunity to meet her. It was during covid pandemic so we cancelled the dogsitting with mutual agreement.

Ting

Joy was the best housesitter one could hope for! She was very communicative about darkness the kitty and things around the house. She left the place very clean and tidy and even left some Polaroid pictures of the kitty! I felt at ease while I was away and having joy in the home. Would absolutely recommend and hope she comes back, would be happy to have her stay any time!

Marcus & Lisa

Marcus and Lisa are absolutely amazing! They left our home in pristine condition, better than when we left! They updated me with photos of the animals and took the best care. Our animals looked beautifully clean and groomed when we returned as well. The garden was beautifully cared for as well. It was our first time using this website and it was well worth it. We would highly recommend Marcus and Lisa to take the best care of your home and pets!

Julia

Julia was absolutely brilliant. Lilly was very happy throughout her stay. I was lucky that Julia was able to come the night before, so It was good to meet her beforehand and go through everything. Plus meet lilly with me around. Julia kept me up to date throughout my vacation on Lillys day to day activities . I can't recommend Julia highly enough. Welcome back anytime Julia!!

Chris + Josie

Neil and Rainy were excellent sitters who really helped us out with a last minute date change.. after hearing from our employers we could return to the UK a week earlier than expected, Neil was happily willing to alter the sitting arrangements.

They took great care of our cat and our apartment and provided excellent comms throughout the 7 weeks we were away. We were very lucky to have such amenable and helpful sitters and we are hopeful we can have them stay again in the future.

And to top it all off.. They bought and left us a new usb charging drinking water pump which we absolutely love!

April

I do not know where to begin. Quite honestly, I want to be selfish and not let the world know how incredible Jessica is. We don't want to share her! But I feel it only fair to those out there that could also be blessed by having her in their home watching their pets!

For starters, she is amazing at providing enrichment activities that gave Vivian exercise everyday. She played with her and learned what Vivian likes and doesn't. She did a fantastic job of feeding her raw and monitoring how much dry food she got. Jessica is VERY attentive to any requests that you have. She is super with sending pictures and communicating daily about how everything is going (which I love). If you want more, she will communicate more often. If you prefer less, she respects that as well.
Jessica is phenomenal at managing the house, the pool, the plants (They looked gorgeous when we returned) and keeping Vivian entertained!!!
We are so fortunate to have Jessica back in 2023!!! 
Jessica is so easy to be around and just brings a balanced energy of peace into our home. We love our Jessica but realize we have to share.
