Pet Sitters in Pakuranga

Poppy & Ethan

Poppy and Ethan are amazing! They not only cared for our little dog Che like he was their own (taking him to our local vet when they suspected an ear infection), they also did a fantastic job looking after our chickens and horses. They communicated super well, sending us regular photos and updates. The house was spotless when we got home (with fresh flowers to greet us) and they even washed the sheets and remade the bed. We can't recommend them highly enough and would have them back in a heartbeat.

Hailey

Hailey has been a pleasure to deal with. She looked after our 2 year old labradoodle for 3 weeks. It was her first pet sit and all I can say is she was brilliant. She understood our dog and looked after her perfectly. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Yvonne

Yvonne and Julian are fabulous people and were excellent pet and house sitters. I would have no hesitation recommending them to others or having them back again.

Jennifer & Daniel

Jenifer and Daniel were an absolute pleasure to have in our home. They both enjoyed our two dogs and I get the feeling that they were very spoilt in our absence. Jenifer and Daniel although Spanish spoke excellent English and there was no problem at all with them following instructions with either the dogs or our home. These two are real gems and Rod and I would very happily recommend them to other home and pet owners looking for sitters. We arrived home to very relaxed and happy dogs, a clean home and an amazing traditional Spanish dinner which we thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you to both of you for taking such good care of our furr babies and our home. 😊

Pia & Tom

Pia and Tom were great at communicating and sending updates. Our home was left clean and tidy. It was a positive experience, great guests and dog sitters. Hopefully, they will be available again in the future. Thanks guys!

Margaret & Peter

Margaret and Peter are lovely people with a genuine caring nature for our home and our pets. They were a pleasure to meet and have in our home. Our pets took to them straight away and loved being with them. We highly recommend Margaret and Peter and would have them look after our house and pets anytime.

Yawynne

Id highly recommend Yawynne. She was a delight to deal with, gave plenty updates and the house was spotless when I returned. Dusty was very happy which was most important. Id have Yawynne back in a heart beat xx

Denise

We were so appreciative of the high level of care and attention Denise gave to our Jack Russell during our 3 weeks away. Denise was very active in taking him for walks and to a range of interesting places. He misses her immensely. She also kept our chickens well fed and watered. Denise left our house very clean and tidy and maintained our lawns. We would highly recommend Denise as a reliable and responsible dog and house sitter.

Rebecca

Becca and PJ were simply wonderful with Bella and Barty. They kept us updated with photos and stories and clearly loved them as we did. Our home was cared for, our plants watered, Becca makes sourdough bread way better than I do. Etc. we will definitely just have them over as friends now in London and Bella esp misses them while Barty generally sleeps xxx thank you so much! Highly recommend them to you x

Alicia

Alicia was fabulous! She kept in good communication with me. She was super clean and tidy and I came home to a very clean house, and a very happy cat. She went above and beyond in a few areas which was so unexpected. I would highly recommend her!

Samantha

We are very grateful we had Sam and Liam take care of Dexter and the house. They were friendly, easy to get along with and accommodating. We had updates on Dexter along the time we were away which helped us to miss him less. The house was spotless when we got back. Dexter, the house and the house plants were well taken care of. Can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended!

Judy & Steven

Judy and Stephen were fantastic sitters for our dog, chickens and fish. From the time we had our initial call we felt confident to leave them with our loved ones and house. Everything went very smoothly and in addition to the usual pet care we had a broody chicken which ment some additional complications that didn’t phase them. When we returned the house was immaculate and all animals were happy and healthy. We can thoroughly recommend them for anyone looking for sitters. Thankyou Judy and Stephen!

Claire

This was a quick sit. Claire was a great communicator and Screepy was super sweet. No trouble at all.  The house is in a fun area near lots of great shops.  Highly recommend this sit. Thanks Claire and Screepy!

Elizabeth

Unfortunately our sit was impacted by tropical cyclone Jasper, which was obviously unavoidable, but apart from this we had a great sit.
Patsy and Edwina are super little dogs with lots of personality, and we really enjoyed caring for them.
Liz has a wonderful home, and made us feel very welcome. Port Douglas is a fantastic spot, and we hope to return - minus cyclone!

Hermione

Hermione's home is welcoming and cosy. Hermione made an effort to get to know us, explain how the house worked and even made me lunch before she left. Chomsky is a delightful cat. He is sociable, playful and kept us entertained. This is a very central location for exploring Bristol.

Karen

This house sit has every ammenity that you would ever want. Teddy is very well behaved and very smart. Tiny Navi is cute and vocal. They have thought of everything to make the sitter feel right at home!

Madelyn

Goose and Pooh Bear are the cutest cats ever! They both loved head rubs and hanging out with me while i relaxed. It was super fun watching them chase each other around the house! Madelyn is super nice and made sure I was comfortable my whole time in the house.

ANGUS

Sitting for Angus and Fi was an absolute pleasure and a highlight since I have joined TrustedHouseSitters.  

As hosts their communication and expectations of me were flawless, they were flexible and supportive and a joy to deal with before, during and I hope will continue after, my sit.

As well behaved as Angus and Fi were they can't hold a candle to the dogs.  Each and every day it was such a pleasure to wake up to these two lovely creatures eagerly looking to share another day with you.  Clearly due to age this did involve some extended napping under your feet in the AGA warmed kitchen in between the more active periods.  

The house, grounds and location were amazing with ample walking opportunities nearby in serene countryside with only the occasional friendly neighbour to possibly disturb the solitude.  If you are an active sitter always looking for things to do then fret not as Angus will gladly provide you with a to-do list of gardening and maintenance. 

 I'm torn giving Angus, Fi and the girls a 5 star rating as I always want to sit for them going forward and don't want the competition but, even despite Australia's loss to Scotland in the rugby and Angus holding the bragging rights, I feel am compelled to do so.

I leave with fond memories of loving dogs, charming cats, super busy owners and a warm, cozy kitchen. Fully recommend
