Reliable // Gentle // Organized

Over 50 sits, all with positive reviews!

- Organized, tidy, + a personalized info sheet for owners
- Non-smokers, non-drinkers, SUPER clean
- Communicative, gentle, responsible

We genuinely love animals and care for them with kindness and patience. We take great pride in keeping a home fresh and clean, and we like to ensure animals (and gardens!) are comfortable and happy.

Emma loves cooking, baking and cleaning (legit!). She likes to soak in the company of flowers and plants, and she loves all creatures great and small - even spiders get a gentle hand when removal is required.

Andrew has been dubbed "The Cat Whisperer" by multiple pet owners! He's an avid book fan, and he's often found with both a book and a furry companion on his lap.

We look forward to caring for your home/pet with the same respect and thoughtfulness as if they were our own.

Emma and Andrew are the ultimate housesitters - so friendly, efficient and reliable. We were so reassured to have them looking after not only our house, but also our elderly dog and our cows. They did an amazing job and we are very grateful to them for allowing us to have a such an extended break away knowing that everything was being looked after. Their communication is excellent. Jess our dog will miss them as as they cared for her so well. The house was beautifully clean and tidy with ... MORE
 
SARAH AND TIM (Dairy Flat North Island, Jun 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Emma and Andrew took care of our 2 dogs in Auckland for 6 weeks. They were first class, great communication, great carers of the animals and excellent communication. We would gladly have them to stay again,
 
JULIA (Takapuna North Island, Jul 2023 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Thanks again! And hugs to those gorgeous doggos xx
World-class, beyond AMAZING care of home and my most precious little companion - Monkey (the cat). Emma and Andrew have been a God-send to me. I cannot thank them enough. They came into my life as strangers and are leaving / staying in it as dear friends. Trust them completely with all my things and kitty. Went above and beyond to help with my items during Auckland floods.
 
VANESSA (Milford North Island, Jan 2023 - 4 months)
Such kind words, thank you. We are honoured to know you and sweet Miss Monkey xx
Great first experience with Kiwi house sitters. Emma and Andrew were fantastic. House immaculate upon return, and a cat that was clearly spoilt and sad to see them leave. Lots of communication and 'cat pics' during time away. Highly recommend.
 
RUTH (Panmure North Island, Dec 2022 - 1 month 1 week)
Emma and Andrew have done a great job looking after my two little dogs, my fish in the pond, my home, garden, and house pants. My dogs were shown a lot of love and care, they took them for daily walks. My home was clean, immaculate and well looked after. They kept us well informed on WhatsApp, posted pics of our pets which reassured us they were in good hands and care. Emma and Andrew were very honest and extremely trustworthy, and we enjoyed our 7 weeks of holiday feeling confident, relaxed ... MORE
 
SIVA (Te Atatu Peninsula North Island, Nov 2022 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Emma was a dream, very professional, and she obviously loved what she does - and our cats. We felt immediately at ease. We also loved getting regular photos and videos while we were away, and we'd never seen our cats looking so relaxed and happy with new people before. Would love to have Emma and Shanna or Emma and her partner again.
 
LIL (Birkenhead North Island, Oct 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Thank you! Yes, I truly love what I do, caring for animals and making them feel safe and loved... And your three cats were a pleasure and a delight :)
We cant thank Emma and Shanna enough for the care they took of Jasper and our Home. We were overseas for an extended period and during that time we had great communication and we were kept up to date on Jasper and the House etc. We greatly appreciated having people who cared for our Jasper and our home as their own.
 
KERRIE (Mt Albert North Island, Jul 2022 - 3 months 1 week)
No rating Thank you Shanna & Emma for looking after our precious cats and house. It was great receiving updates and pictures of them all. The cats were so spoilt and the house was very clean on our return. We have recommended this website to others.
SHERYLE & CLAUDE (Torbay North Island, May 2022 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Shanna kept house clean and tidy and cats happy. Would recommend and happily have her back.
 
KATE (Grey Lynn North Island, Apr 2022 - 2 weeks 3 days)
Shanna and Emma did a fantastic job looking after Poppy, Kitty and our home for a month. We had updates while we were away in Australia and when I returned the house was beautifully tidy and clean. Shanna stayed a bit later on my day of arrival back to make sure Poppy was fed and to my delight there were yummy items left for me, a weary traveler, including fresh milk, Vogels, chocolates and snacks. Nice. All the houseplants and we have a few large specimens were flourishing so all and all a ... MORE
 
JOHN (Devonport North Island, Mar 2022 - 4 weeks)
Fabulous! Would absolutely recommend Emma as a house sitter. She looked after our animals (cat, chickens, sheep, bunnies), garden and house so wonderfully. She loves animals and we arrived home to find everything better than it was left! Great communication from the beginning and we'd love to have her back. Thank you Emma.
 
KIM (Greenhithe North Island, Dec 2021 - 2 weeks)
We came home to a lovely clean home and very well looked after house plants. Shanna was easy to communicate with and I would have her back any time.
 
SUZY (Glen Eden North Island, Dec 2021 - 2 months)
Shanna was really warm and nice to talk to. She was a very prompt communicator. The cat and rabbits were well cared for and house sparkling clean on exit. Would highly recommend.
 
JO (Point Chevalier North Island, Dec 2021 - 1 week 2 days)
Emma is absolutely amazing! Emma was so kind and polite to deal with, always giving us frequent updates and pics of our cat looking so happy and super tidy & clean. She left our house in a far better state than we left it in with all the cupboards tidied and organised. She made the house sparkling clean, the cat loved her and the neighbours said she was so nice to talk to also. An absolute gem! Thanks Emma!!
 
HEIDI (Birkdale North Island, Dec 2020 - 10 weeks)
I just realised that we haven't had a chance to review your housesitting for us in Dec 2019/Jan 2020. I would just like to say a big thank you to Shanna, Emma's sister, for looking after our house and garden well when we were away. The communication was prompt and clear, and I very much appreciate Shanna leaving a note with handover details upon my return when she couldn't meet me in person (with two pieces of chocolate as well). Thank you and hope you've been well.
 
LAY-ON (Auckland , Dec 2019 - 1 month 1 week)
Shanna and Emma looked after our house and cat for a month. We were very happy with the sit, and would highly recommend Shanna and Emma to anyone. They are lovely people, and we felt 100% safe and comfortable leaving our house and kitty in their good hands.
 
RACHEL (St Heliers North Island, Aug 2019 - 3 weeks)
Emma and her sister Shanna were amazing house / pet sitters for us as we travelled overseas for a few weeks. This was my first experience with house / pet sitting and I couldn't rate it higher. Excellent communication, and lovely people who looked after our home and dog like it was their own, even including photo updates. The house was super clean when we got back which was nice to come home to. Luna (our dog) took a real shine to them and I think she misses their company / walks / pats. A+ ... MORE
 
FENNEL (Mt Albert North Island, Jul 2019 - 3 weeks)
I cannot praise Emma too highly. She and her sister were efficient, caring, and excellent communicators. They kept my house in spotless condition (cleaner than I left it probably), looked after my dog so well that she was sorry to see them go, and kept in very good touch with me about any issues arising. You will be fortunate indeed if you are able to book her.
