Dog Sitters in Lyttelton

Diana & Michael

Diana and Mike were perfect house sitters and cared for our two cats whilst we were away for 10 days. The attention to detail and communication beforehand was great and we felt very confident having them in our house and looking after our pets. Upon our return, we found two healthy, happy cats, a sparkling clean house and even some homemade brownies to welcome us back! We also have several plants and a small vegetable garden, and it was clear that both were very well cared for whilst we were away. Diana and Mike went above and beyond in caring for our home and cats, and we can't thank them enough! Would have them stay again anytime.

Julia

Julia has looked after my house and pets before, and I love it when she does. She is an excellent house sitter!

John & Helena

John and Helena are perfect pet sitters, they took very good care of our cat Frite, and the apartment! Excellent communication, very friendly! They left the apartment in excellent condition, it's a pleasure to go on holidays knowing our cat is in good company. We would definitely recommend them, and if they come back to Switzerland they are more than welcome to come sit Frite again!

Ruth

I met Ruth when she arrived, she was very friendly and kept in touch to let us know how everything was.

Hannah & Simon

Hannah Rose and Simon were great pet sitters, they were very self sufficient and coped with various building projects that were going on during their visit, the cats were relaxed and happy when we got home and a nice clean house, we would absolutely recommend them.

Kiannah & Liam

Kiannah and Liam were a pleasure to deal with. They looked after Charlie and our house very well over almost five weeks. They kept us informed about Charlie and sent us photos of him while we were overseas. Our house was left in a clean and tidy condition at the end of their stay. We have no hesitation in recommending them for any other housesitting.

Casey

Casey was a fabulous sitter. I arrived home to happy puppies and a tidy home I would recommend Casey for your pet sitting needs.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth was a wonderful companion and caretaker for our 2 cats. They looked and behaved exactly as we left them, lively and loving. The house was in perfect shape when we got back. She was resourceful when presented with minor challenges. We would definitely use her again!

Trisha & Paul

Trish and Paul were absolutely lovely. They were very easy to get on with, and took great care of our little dog, Skye. They took her for two walks a day, which, to be honest, is more than she usually gets from us! Would not hesitate to recommend them for a dog/house sit.

Toni

It was a delight having Toni take care of the boys while we were on holiday. She communicated well and we got pictures of the boys every day. The house was clean and tidy when we got back! I think the boys had a great time as well ! Thank You Toni, you are welcome back any time!

Abi & Sam

Abi and Sam were brilliant house and pet sitters. They visited us a few times before the housesit to get to know Vera (our pup) before we left which was really appreciated. They looked after Vera very well and were great at giving us updates. When Vera hurt her paw they were quick to communicate with us so we could plan how to treat her and she couldn’t have been in better hands. We came back to a spotless flat and a happy pooch, thank you Abi and Sam!

Jessica

Jess and her partner gave me an amazing first time user experience of this site. They were polite professional and friendly. They looked after my dogs brilliantly even my elderly dog who uses a back pack for his walks. They followed my directions for their care. Left the house tidy even washed the towels. Highly recommend this lovely couple

Jason

We had Rhe sit for us while we were on a road trip and were so glad we did! She was very pleasant and easy to communicate with, responded to all of my emails promptly. She took notes about the house and the pets care during the walkthrough and asked questions about any particulars we didn't discuss in the welcome letter.  

She provided adorable daily pet pics and vids accompanied by witty comments and made us feel very confident that the fur family was in good hands. Don't hesitate to have Rhe house sit for your furry friends should the opportunity present itself!

Stephanie

Reta has been a great sitter. She was flexible to extend her stay from what I originally posted and has been very easy to cummunicate with. 
Reta is very responsive and it was a pleasure to host her. She sent me frequent updates and pictures about Milou and I never had any doubt that Milou and her were not getting along. Milou was in very good hands and Reat left the appartement clean and tidy. 
I would absolutley host her again anytime. Thank you for your care and company.
