Cat Sitters in Wellington

Lani & Ori

Lani looked after my boys with care and left the house in perfect condition.

Mark & Karen

Mark & Karen were great. We are so grateful for finding them so quickly as our trip was not last minute one. They were kind and amazing with the pets. They left the house as they found it and waited for us to get home before they left although they had a long journey to their next destination. We very much appreciate their help and would highly recommend them.

Jacqui & Stephen

Jacqui and Steve were excellent housesitters. I was 100% confident leaving Jacqui and Steve in charge of our house and elderly cat Matilda. They were very friendly and warm and obviously cat mad people. I got some lovely photos throughout including a wonderful message from “Matilda” on her 18th birthday. The house was left spotless on our return. I highly recommend Jacqui and Steve.

Rosa & Mark

Rosa looked after out three dalmatians very well despite a number of issues due to dog illness, dogs stealing remote controls and Wi-Fi breakdowns thanks Virgin. We were able to leave the dogs with her for the second time despite them being only puppies.

Arina & Olena

Didn't get to meet but Arina seemed lovely and taro had a great time :)

Sharon

Sharon stayed with Muffin for a week. She was really great. Plenty of long walks and regular updates on how Muffin was doing. There were no challenges at all during the week I was gone and she was very self sufficient allowing me to enjoy my time away. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Your doggo will be happy too (Muffin was ecstatic around her)

Joy & John

Gosh, Joy and John were dream sitters! This was the first time leaving our little babies in someone else's care and Joy and John made us feel completely relaxed from start to finish. The kittens took to them right away. They were equal parts considerate, easygoing and thorough, sending updates, leaving the house cleaner than they found it, and being incredibly gracious about an unforeseen wifi hiccup. The whole process made us feel very grateful for this platform and the wonderful people on it :)

Alankrita

Alankrita, Vidya and their son put their heart into looking after our pets. They were very responsive and gave me regular update. They are organised and reliable. Alan even sent us some painting she did of the pets which was a lovely touch! All the best

Alison

Sarah & Jane

It was a real pleasure to meet Sarah and her friend Denise. They looked after Tega really well and took care to walk her early morning when it was cool. Tega was very relaxed and happy when I returned home. The house was spotless and they had stripped the beds and done the washing before leaving. Thank you :) I would love Sarah and Denise to look after her again in the future.

Georgia

This was a last minute booking which worked out brilliantly. Our dog is very nervous, but took to Mark and Georgia straight away and there were no issues at all. We would be very happy for them to look after Candy again in the future!

Caroline

We loved having Caroline to stay and look after Woody & Miso, so much so that we’ve invited her back :) She is such a kind person, very flexible with all our arrangements and the animals clearly loved her, our not-always-affectionate cat decided Caroline is the perfect person to curl up and go to sleep on! She took a lot of care with Woody (who is blind) and even found a lovely soothing dog-friendly playlist for him. Loads of pictures and updates too, which is always welcome! 100% recommend.

I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough - she ticked all the boxes. 

Most importantly, she is a genuine animal lover and our dog and cats took to her instantly. Sarah communicated well before and during the sit, and left the house spotless for us on our return. She was also lovely company during the handover periods. 

We also loved Sarah’s niece, Cathy, who came to stay for a few days with our prior permission. Two lovely ladies. Would highly recommend and would definitely have back for another sit. 

Thank you Sarah!

Hugh

Michael and Marina were great. Very prompt communication in the lead up to the sit, made the effort to meet us (and dog) before and left the house very tidy and clean. Their approach to looking after our dog just gave us one less thing to worry about while travelling around as a family. It was lovely to have the peace of mind that dog and house were in good hands. Would recommend Michael and Marina as pet/house sitters to anyone.
