Pet Sitters in Te Kowhai

What a wonderful blessing to have Joy and Cam as our first experience with Trusted Houesitters! They were incredibly polite, kind, respectful and treated our home as if it were their own. Most importantly, they loved our pets and sent adorable photo updates and even videos! I appreciate that before we even met, they had a list of thorough questions for me to make sure that everything ran smoothly. I will post this Q and A for other sitters as they were great things to consider that definitely helped plan and prepare for one another’s needs. The day they arrived, they brought delicious chocolates for us to take on our travels . As the host, I did not expect them to bring me something, but it was very thoughtful. Joy and Cam were super quick to reply to any questions or messages that I had, which was reassuring and helped me relax that my pets were in great hands and all was well. They were independent and didn’t interrupt our trip with extra needs but were friendly and available when we did connect. They were eager to please, reliable, and carefully took care of our home. The morning we were leaving, we ate a homemade breakfast together and afterwards they said “don’t worry about clean up, we will do this while you get ready to leave.” Wow! I definitely didn’t expect that extra help before their sitting even began. Another bonus trait about them I would like to share Is how clean and organized they were. I didn’t expect any extra cleaning, but they took the time to make the house look even better than when they arrived. The pool was spotless and even though we have a pool cleaner, they took extra time to pull out remaining leaves. Joy and Cam cared for our fruit trees, plants and tomato plants and I was happy to see them thriving when I returned. Their nurturing care extended to all living things 🙂 It is always great to come home to happy pets but I wanted to add one detail which evidenced how much love they poured into our pets. We drove them to the airport the next day after we returned, so they slept an extra night and our dog Daisy was torn at first who to sleep with! She went back to their room a few times before settling in our room. Finally, we connected with Joy and Cam not only as a mutually beneficial exchange, but have made dear friends we can visit if we ever travel to New Zealand. I highly recommend them 100% and would love to share more details if you have any questions.

We were really grateful that Clare was able to look after our cats at short notice. She was extremely easy to communicate with, accommodating, and very competent and organized. We felt 100% confident leaving our pets in her hands.

Amazing once again with Licrish and Milo. So appreciate the care of both woofs AKA the kids! Wouldn’t hesitate to have Dianne and Fritz pet sit! A lovely wonderful couple now we consider friends. Thank you so very much. Cass and Greg

Jess and Sam were exceptional sitters and Twinkle loved having them stay. I can highly recommend them as house sitters - thanks guys!

Sylwia was amazing with my boys....they loved her and I had the peace of mind knowing that they were being well cared for. Communication was excellent and my house was left spotless. Thank you very much...would happily have Sylwia house sit for me again.

Josefien & Jonas did a fantastic job, in looking after my home and cat Chloe for a week over Easter weekend. We came home to a happy cat. They kept me updated, looked after the house and everything was clean and tidy on our return. I would certainly recommend and have Josefien & Jonas house sit again. A+++

Lara and Maxi have sat for us two times now and we highly recommend them. We have asked for them in future sits too. The 3 cats of ours get on very well with them, and Lara and Maxi give very regular updates. Thanks!

Althea and Matt were great housesitters, they entertained our Border Collie Pip endlessly and we returned to a very happy dog and our home just as we left it. They kept in touch letting us know what they had been up to and were everything you could want when leaving your home and pet in someone else’s care. They are a lovely couple and we would welcome them back anytime.

Wendy was great. She communicated well with us throughout the entire stay and our dog seemed to really enjoy her time with Wendy. The apartment was also in great shape upon our return. We would definitely have her stay with us again!

Karen took great care of Milo and Luca! You can tell that she is used to cats and knows how to take care of them. Both Milo and Luca really warmed up to her!

Amazing pet sitters. Brilliant house guests and one very happy puppy and chickens. Would highly recommend!

Lyndall is quite simply the dream housesitter! She is extremely considerate, organised and easy to communicate with, and she was absolutely wonderful with our shy rescue cat. She bonded very quickly with Willow, looking after her, playing with her, talking to her, loving her and cuddling her just as we would have done – exactly what we needed to be able to fully relax while away for 2 weeks. Lyndall kept us frequently updated via Whatsapp, including adorable picture and video updates. She took great care of the household (the plants look much better than we left them!) and left the house immaculately clean and neat, with many considerate touches including fresh flowers and a gift for us. If Lyndall applies for your sit, you’re in luck – she’s a treasure. Many thanks Lyndall - Willow still misses you, and we would welcome you back any time.
