Dog Sitters in Star

Fran, and her son Angus, were great. They came out a day earlier, staying in a local hotel, in order to be available for a good hand-over the day of our departure. They were flexible on the day of our departure, tolerating our chaos and disorder with grace, even taking the dogs for a long walk while we fussed around the house, packing and loading the car. Fran regularly sent great photos of the two dogs, probably some of the best photos we have them. I want that camera. Both dogs were well cared for, and Ivys' food allergies well respected. The apartment was left clean and tidy, as well the fridge stocked with delicious meats and cheeses. Fran, come again. And here's hoping there are lot's of other house sits for you and yours in the future.

Alison and Patrick were top notch house sitters in every possible way! I knew from the moment we met in the driveway that this was a perfect match. We live in a rural setting and Patrick and Alison were well prepared for the adventure. We enjoyed a couple of days together to get acquainted and they got to know our routine and pets got to know them. We felt very comfortable leaving for our holiday. We came home to a spotless house and contented dogs and cat. I’m only sorry we didn’t have a couple of days together again but I know we will have made new friends in Patrick and Alison and that we will stay in touch. Our dogs are wondering where their friends went and my old cat has been complaining non-stop! We would not hesitate to recommend these lovely people to house sit and spoil your fur babies. We welcome Alison and Patrick back for a visit anytime!

Our second year having Annette and Michael and once again a huge success. They are just brilliant and hopefully will come again next year if dates allow.

Anthony and Georgina were incredible farm sitters! They were quickly immersed in farm life with our herd of goats and flock of chickens, our two dogs, Tina the cat and Peanut the bunny. Little did they know they were about to experience the great outdoors, the wilder side of New Zealand, and the elements in full force! No sooner had they settled in to enjoy the peace and serenity, sunsets, and warm spa, when along came cyclone Gabriel! Still, with the mettle of youth and high spirits, they stood the ultimate test as caretakers and shepherds, and we can not recommend them highly enough!

I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. I knew she was going to be ideal for us after our first contact on FaceTime. She is bubbly and enthusiastic as well as extremely well organized and self sufficient. She sent regular updates and photos of her beach walks with our Lab, Sadie, whilst we were away and the house was immaculately tidy and clean on our return. I hope she will return for another sit soon.

Eloise was organised with time-keeping and I felt she was reliable in knowing she would be with the rabbits at the times specified. She clearly really enjoyed their company and looked after them well. Eloise asked quite a few questions, many of which I had already covered or shared in the welcome pack. Some of the instructions I gave her weren't followed, but they weren't damaging to the overall care of the rabbits who were well taken care of. It wasn't a long house-sit (only one night) but there could have been a little more cleaning up from it, with counters wiped down, quick hoover and bins/recycling being taken away. Overall I felt Eloise was a good house-sitter with the rabbits being well taken care of and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Luke and Nicola are the loveliest couple and Roxy absolutely loved them. I was updated with Photos and videos and was 100% happy with everything to do with their stay. I highly recommend Luke and Nicola.

We are so grateful to Barbara for taking such wonderful care of Percy and our home while we were away. Percy immediately warmed to Barbara on her arrival and we felt utterly comfortable leaving Percy for the weekend knowing he was is good hands. We received lovely photo updates of the adventures Barbara, her partner and Percy went on while here, and arrived home to a clean and tidy home and a happily worn out pup! We would have no hesitation recommending Barbara and would happily welcome her and Adam back here! Freya, Sinan and Percy x

James and Madelanne came and house-sat for me while I was overseas. They are a very nice couple, friendly and helpful, communicated well before and after the sit and left the place very clean and tidy, and even left me a wee welcome home gift which was lovely and much appreciated. Sadly my cat died a couple of weeks before the sit so there was no pet to look after so I can't review that aspect, they were very understanding about the change in circumstances and happy to go ahead with the sit. I highly reccomend J&M as sitters and they are welcome back any time!

Meagan and Alex were absolutely amazing with our boys, very caring and sweet! They took them to the park and around the lakes and our boys were a bit sad when they left even if they were only here for a short weekend. We'd definitely recommend them to look after your pets and home and we'd definitely love to see them again 😊

Anna was a brilliant dog sitter and I’d book her again in a heartbeat. She kept us updated on how Santie was doing daily with photos and stories of their days. She was super easy to communicate with before and during the stay. She left the flat super tidy!

It was so great so have Caroline stay! She was very clear with communication and plans on travel. On her arrival, she was so friendly and proactive on understanding Dougal’s needs. While I was away she was great at keeping in touch. I would definitely recommend her to others to sit and would be very happy to have her back again! Thank you Caroline!
