Anne & Mike intend to make sure that your time away from your home and pets is worry free. We are a fit and active, non smoking, married couple who enjoy walking, biking and swimming.
We treat all our home owners properties with the utmost respect and always ensure that we leave everything clean and tidy and the pets loved and tended as per your instructions.
As we are retired, your property and pets will have someone around most of the time to ensure all is well.
Every situation is different and we try to arrange a personal meet & greet before hand if we are in your area, but there is always video calling if not.
We have experience in various breeds of dogs, cats, chickens, fish, birds, guinea pigs. Maintaining yards and gardens are also a specialty.
We especially enjoy the longer sits so we have time to really establish a routine with the pets and a chance to look around your part of the country. We have also done short stays tho', so don't hesitate to ask!
We are both fully vaxed.
Looking forward to hearing from you all.
Regards,
Anne & Mike.

Ann-Marie and Michael were excellent house sitters - as their other reviews suggest! The house and garden were well looked after and they planted the vege garden with new season plants and prettied up the pot plants with under planting that looks gorgeous! Very much appreciated! I would definitely recommend them for any house sitting you may have.
 
TRACY (Aramoho/Wanganui North Island, Sep 2024 - 2 months 2 weeks)
Annemarie and Mike looked after our dog and house in July for 5 weeks and we were happy with them. We would consider using them again if they were available.
 
JAMES (Warkworth North Island, Jul 2024 - 3 months)
Anne and Michael are a lovely genuine couple who looked after our home and cat. Excellent communication before and during their stay. They took great care of our home which was immaculate on our return. So welcoming to return home to flowers and a bottle of wine. I hope they are available in the future to house sit. I highly recommend Anne and Michael.
 
CLARE (Birkenhead North Island, May 2024 - 1 month 1 week)
It was lovely to meet Anne and Michael. They came to the house to meet the pets before taking the job which was great. They looked after our home beautifully, leaving it super clean and tidy (and the garden too), offering to get us fresh milk even. They couldn’t have been more helpful and the pets seemed very relaxed and happy when we returned. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
 
GILL (Devonport North Island, May 2024 - 2 weeks 5 nights)
Anne & Mike are a delightful couple who looked after our house and dog for 7 weeks. They did a great job. We found them easy to deal with and had a coffee before the sit. While we were away, they responded quickly if we had any questions. We returned to a beautifully clean and tidy house, and well tended garden. Most importantly for us Ted was happy and clearly regarded them as part of his family! We’d love to have them as house-sitters again and can highly recommend.
 
AMANDA (Matua North Island, Oct 2023 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Anne Marie and Mike were amazing. The house was even cleaner than when we left. The grounds were perfect and our dog was happy and content when we came home. I would recommend them to anyone who was wanting a sitter as I don't think you could find better
 
MARILYN (Matata North Island, May 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Anne and Mike come highly recommended. We were away for a long stretch and they looked after the house, garden and pets so well. We came back to happy dog, chooks and fish and an immaculate house and garden. Great communication, would definitely recommend if they apply for your house sit.
 
SALLY (Houghton Bay North Island, Dec 2022 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Thanks heaps Anne and Mike - absolutely lovely people, and we returned to a happy cat and an immaculate house. Would strongly recommend!
 
ANTHONY (Silverstream North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week)
Anne and Mike were everything and more we could have hoped for. They looked after our young dog Sky incredibly well - lots of walks, hugs and outings. They sent us photos and we could tell Sky was really happy. Our house was beautifully clean on our return and the garden well cared for which must have been a real challenge given the rain. Probably this biggest accolade is that we have asked them to come back next year when we travel to see our UK based daughter. Couldn't recommend them ... MORE
 
ELAINE (Taupo North Island, May 2022 - 2 months 2 weeks)
Anne & Mike took great care of our home, our treasured family dog was so happy and relaxed when we came home. Anne even baked a pie on the day we returned. They dealt with the challenge of cyclone Dovi and a long power cut, taking it all in their stride. I would highly recommend them both as housesitters..
 
ROBBIE (Whakamarama North Island, Feb 2022 - 2 weeks)
Anne and Michael are a wonderful couple who were very conscientious in their care of our pets, livestock and property. They fitted in well with our community attending the local weekly dog walks. The house was immaculate on our return. In addition, our anxious daughter was treated with daily photos of her cat. We very much appreciated their warmth, care and communication and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone lucky enough to secure a booking with them.

Great house sitters .. would highly recommend
 
JOANNE (Wedderburn 9395 South Island, Jun 2021)
Anne and Mike were amazing Housesitters. Honestly couldn't ask for better. Our friends are even asking if they can pay them to stay at their houses when they go away! We went away for 1 week and right before we left our cat was in a car accident and broke his leg. Anne and Mike took amazing care of him administering medication and keeping his wounds clean. They also clearly spoiled our labradoodle with love and walks because he's decidedly sad they are gone and he's left with us! :) Our ... MORE
 
KIM (Macandrew Bay South Island, Feb 2021 - 1 week)
Wow! As first time users of the house sitting service we didn't know what to expect but we struck gold with Anne and Mike. Really lovely people with a passion for caring for our home, garden and our greyhound Coco while we were away. They went above and beyond with a garden makeover and the house was immaculate when they left. Hoping they can come back every time!
 
JO (Nelson South Island, Jan 2021 - 1 week)
Anne and Mike were the best housesitters we've ever had. Great communication, our pets were incredibly happy, the house was immaculate, and going beyond in the garden - including planting the impatiens for us - was just so appreciated. I hope we're lucky enough that our calendars align in the future, as we'd love to have you stay again. Thank you so much
 
LISA (Days Bay North Island, Dec 2020 - 1 month 1 week)
Anne Marie and Mike were the absolute best house sitters We could of hoped for. they filled in at last minute and gave us complete peace of mind leaving our home under their care. We completely endorse and recommend them to anyone. Jesse
 
JESSE (Masterton North Island, Oct 2020 - oct 22/31)
Anne & Mike where outstanding housesitters who I would highly recommend & without a doubt contact again if we need a housesitter! Willow our dog was well loved & walked & our house was tidier than when we left it! Many thanks :)
 
NAOMI (Carterton North Island, Oct 2020 - 5 days)
Anne-Marie and Michael were such a lovely couple! We returned to an absolutely spotless house - like they hadn't even been there. I couldn't believe the sheets and towels had been washed :) Amazing. Thank you so much for looking after Pippa and the house for us. I highly recommend them for anyone else looking for a house/pet sitter.
 
VICTORIA (Lynmore North Island, Jul 2020 - 2 days)
Thank you Anne and Mike it was really great to come to a house just as we had left it. The cats were extremely well cared for and are getting used to us being back at work. The pool was immaculate. This was our first experience using kiwihousesitters and we can highly recommend Anne and Mike.
