Cat Sitters in Matakana

Rachel & Nick

Rachel and Nick were awesome looking after our dog Cooper. They kept us up to date on him while we were away and sent us plenty of pictures. When we got home our place was clean and well kept. Our dog also looked very happy and well taken care of while we were away. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a home/pet sitter.

Leah & Matthew

Leah and Matthew were amazing. Our dog, Blossom, has anxiety, and within no time at all, she was snuggling and living her best life (now I know how to give her head massages!). They were extremely communicative and caring. I was in a place without easy access to the internet, and they took great pains to keep me updated and informed about Blossom and our two cats. Thank you for the excellent care!

Fabio Agustin & Melanie

Fabio and Melanie looked after my two dogs for just over two weeks. If they apply for a sit with you, I strongly recommend you consider them. They were great communicators and came to visit the dogs the day before the sit started, which made my departure easy as the dogs were already comfortable with them. During the sit they sent me pictures and movies, which were much appreciated. On my return they had cleaned the apartment beautifully(thanks SO much!). Most importantly, the dogs seemed very happy and well cared for. Thanks Fabio and Melanie for being such amazing sitters!!

Fiona & Korry

Fiona and Korry were great! Very quick communication before we went away and then whilst we were overseas we got regular updates on all three of our animals. When we got home the house was immaculate and our pets looked very happy. Highly recommended.

Barry

Barry was great! I came home to happy dogs and a tidy house, and we had easy contact while I was away. I am very happy to recommend Barry as a Zeewoi!

Ian

Ian and Pam were easy to communicate with before and during their stay. We were very happy with their care of our animals and home. Would highly recommend.

Chrissie

Chrissie and Graham were fantastic, the fur babies were so well looked after happy and content when I came home. The neighbours also mentioned how caring they were with the animals. The house was spotless the garden and plants beaming. I will keep them on the top list of my favourite house sitters. I highly recommend them to look after your home and pets.

Emma & David

I felt very comfortable with Emma and David in my home. My kittens are great, and my home is clean and tidy! I would invite them again, for certain.

Ilanna

A good sitter

Alyssia

Super friendly, sent us photos which we really appreciated and the dogs were happy.

Janet

Tony and Janet were absolutely fantastic pet sitters. They looked after Bella and Jaxson so well while we were away. Janet and Tony gave us plenty of updates along with videos and photos each day. They had very good communication and left the house spotless when they were leaving. Would highly recommend Janet and Tony, and they would be welcome back any time again in the future!

Rachael

It was a pleasure to have Rachael at my home. First of all, we organised her arrival very smoothly, in less than 24 hours. She took great care of my home (that has never been so clean and ordered) and spoiled my cat Noushi. I usually leave my dog with a local dog sitter if I am away, as it is a big hunting dog, but Rachael volunteered to walk it and brought it to the forrest for big hikes, so even my dog was delighted to have her here. She made friends with a lot of people in my village and has become a local. She is very reliable, and I highly recommend her. Thank you so much Rachael for your kindness, Cheers Charlotte `

Lael and Gino

What can we say? Orla was a delight to have at our place and as a caretaker for our kittens. Her communication was perfect - including providing us with much needed pictures and updates about the cats. She updated us frequently during her travels to and from, and happily put up with our explanations, expectations, and requests. The place was spotless when we returned and the girls seemed very well cared for, even to the point that we think they miss her. She was simply the best and we would have her back anytime. Can’t recommend her enough. Thanks, Orla.

Aileen

Sarah and Claude were just the most amazing house and pet sitters! They looked after our two dogs wonderfully well and sent us regular updates and pics to reassure us - and we know that the dogs adored them both!
We came back to a very clean and fresh house and the garden was well looked after too.
They are warm, open, friendly and energetic and we have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Sarah and Claude to look after your house and dogs - and we really hope they will come back to us again!
