Hey there!
We're Sonia and Sahil, a married couple with a passion for animals and housesitting. We're just starting out with a few housesits under our belt, but we have plenty of experience taking care of our own pets and homes. We're excited to offer our housesitting services to you!

We both work from home, which means we'll be able to keep a close eye on your pets and home. You can trust us to provide a safe and secure environment for your furry family members. We understand how important your pets are to you, so we promise to take care of them like they're our own. Whether it's feeding, walking, or just providing some good old-fashioned cuddles, we'll make sure your pets are happy and healthy while you're away.

We're also happy to take care of your home while you're gone. We'll make sure everything is in order, from collecting the mail to watering the plants. We'll treat your home with the utmost respect and care.

We're reliable and responsible, and we take our jobs seriously. We'll make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos of your pets and home, so you can have peace of mind knowing everything is in good hands.

Thanks for considering us as your housesitters! We're excited to meet your furry family members and take care of your home while you're away.

Sonia was an outstanding house and pet sitter. We very unfortunately had to say goodbye to our oldest dog not long before the housesit, and Sonia made sure that our younger dog (Sam) received all the care and attention she needed given that she was missing her lifelong companion. When Sam was clearly struggling, and this impacted her appetite Sonia consulted with us about potential actions and managed to get Sam back on track. Her obvious care and subsequent actions were something we will ... MORE

Warm, engaging, great communicators. Was great to know that our dogs were in such competent and caring hands. Great comments, photos and videos sent regularly. As a bonus, the house was left immaculate and the curry thoughtfully left in the fridge was outstanding. Would certainly be very happy to leave our boys with them again. Wish them the best with their new adventures.
 
SANDI (Surfdale North Island, Apr 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
It was so good to be able to go on holiday and know that our house and pets were in good hands. We recommend Sahil and Sonia to anyone who has pets needing care while they’re away. They got on so well with our dog, I’m sure he thought he had a new family! Sahil and Sonia kept us up to date about how things were going every few days as we requested. Everything was perfect when we got home too, the house was very well looked after. This was our first experience using house sitters, and we were ... MORE
 
MARGARET (Helensville North Island, Apr 2024 - 3 weeks)
Sonia and Sahil cared for our home, three large dogs and cat for two weeks. This delightful couple cared for our pets as their own, communicated well with daily photos and videos and left our house cleaner than we left it. We would highly recommend Sonia and Sahil to anyone seeking care for their home and animals :)
 
ROWAN (Point Wells North Island, Mar 2024 - 2 weeks)
Five stars should speak for itself but they were so much more than that. The extra kindnesses were very much appreciated. We wanted to book them again but they were already booked unsurprisingly. Highly recommended
 
WILLIAM (Helensville North Island, Mar 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Sonia and Sahil made our first house and dog sitting experience really easy! Sonia’s communication was always great, our dogs were happy and healthy when we got home (one was on medication while we were away which wasn’t a problem for Sonia and Sahil), they sent regular updates and some gorgeous pics, and our house was perfectly clean when we got home. Couldn’t ask for anything more and we would not hesitate to ask them to take care of things again!
 
CATHERINE (Devonport North Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Great petsitting experience with Sonia and Sahil, good communication throughout. Would not hesitate to recommend for petsitting.
 
ROSE (Warkworth North Island, Feb 2024 - 3 nights)
Sonia and Sahil were great house sitters. Very respectful of our house and clearly followed the instructions we left for our pets. Provided regular updates and photos via WhatsApp along with great communication throughout the stay (and before). They left the house spotlessly clean upon leaving. Nothing to complain about! Would highly recommend.
 
KENT (Stanmore Bay North Island, Jan 2024 - 2 weeks 5 nights)
Sonia and Sahil were absolutely wonderful housesitters providing love and affection to our cat and dog as well as caring to all our plants for a 3 week period. Communications were clear and regular and the house was left lovely and clean for our return. We would highly recommend them.
 
LARA (Waiake North Island, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
Sonia and Sahil are a very chilled out, easy going couple, it was a pleasure having them house sit and care for Cylvah while on holiday for a few weeks. Everything went as smooth as with no issues at all. Thankyou Sahil for the beautiful curry that was prepared for our return home, we have no hesitation in recommending Sonia and Sahil and will definetly keep them in mind for our next sit. Cheers guy's, 👍
 
MARC & LEE-ANNE (Waihi North Island, Oct 2023 - 3 weeks)
We couldn't have found better people to care for our young dog, Billie. Sonia and Sahil are a very committed and conscientious couple who gave regular updates and looked after our home during a lengthy overseas trip. We would highly recommend them to anyone considering the suitability of candidates.
 
RUTH (Piha North Island, Aug 2023 - 5 weeks)
Sonia and Sahil made our first house sitting experience super easy. They made the whole process such a breeze. The communication prior to the sit was effortless. We went away feeling absolutely confident our house and animals would be well looked after. And we came back to happy animals, a clean house, washed blankets and even a delicious butter chicken in the fridge. What more could we ask for? We would recommend Sonia and Sahil to anyone looking for reliable responsible house sitters.
 
LORRAINE (Muriwai North Island, Aug 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
Thank you Lorraine for the lovely words. We would love to house sit for you both in the future. Lots of love to the kittens and chickens❤️
Sonia and Sahil house sat our cat and our house for a month July to August 2023 while we were overseas. They kept us regularly updated with photos and little snippets of news about everything was going (they are good photographers!) On our return our cat was hail and hearty and our home had also been well looked after. I thoroughly recommend them to you.
 
DONNA (Waitakere North Island, Jul 2023 - one month)
Sonia and Sahil cared for our home, dog Ranger and 3 cats over a 3 week period whilst we were in Europe. They cared so well for our pets, with regular updates and videos so we felt completely comfortable that they were in safe hands. Would absolutely trust Sonia and Sahil again with looking after our homes and pets again.
 
AMANDA (Te Atatu Peninsula North Island, Jun 2023 - 3 weeks)
Sonia and Sahil are mature, responsible couple. They love your pets as their own and they communicate well. They did a great job looking after our pets and house. They constantly provided updates with photos and we came home to happy & healthy dogs (and other animals). The house was as clears as we left it and they even kindly prepared food for us on return. We can highly recommend S&S as pet sitters/house sitters.
 
KATARINA (Wainui North Island, Jun 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
Sonia and Sahil looked after my Penny very well. She became attached to them in such short time. The house was also kept just the way I left it. I am happy I found a sitter who penny could connect with. Very reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely get them again whenever I travel next.
 
MANAVTA (Howick , May 2023 - 3 days)
Sonia and Sahil took great care of my house and cats and ensured they adhered to instructions I provided around the care required for both of my cats. My house was left clean to my expectation. They communicated promptly and I would definitely recommend them and use them again the future
 
BAL (Flat Bush , May 2023 - 2 days)
Sonia and Sahil are lovely caring couple. They looked after my Gino like a little baby. When we were back Gino did not want to let go of them, in two days he became very attached to them which showed when they were leaving and i couldn't believe it he ran to their car and started barking. It was his way of saying don't go. The house as well was kept spick and span. I am happy i found a sitter who Gino can connect with. Very reliable and trustworthy.

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
