Heather was a great communicator and looked after our two precious felines admirably.

Heather was excellent about sending updates, very communicative and made the house sit easy. I would recommend Heather as a great house sitter.

Heather was great to have for a house sit. She was very flexible, even though it was a short sit and made sure the cats and house were well looked after. I came back to a spotless house and happy cats. Many thanks

The house was incredibly clean and tidy upon our return, and all the plants and veggies were healthy, even though it had been very warm. Unfortunately, our communication styles did not match - I like to be updated daily with a photo or general goings on, but Heather seems to be a more hands-off communicator with short updates every now and then.

I met Heather last year to stay at our house and look after my cat. We met when she came to my house (before the house sit) just so we could get to know each other a bit more and we got on well and had a good chat .
I thought she was really lovely ☺️.
She stayed last year and she stayed this year - she watered my plants and looked after my little fatty who loves to eat food . Heather had all under control and I knew all was well , I would ask for photos and she would send them to me .

I saw her when I got back and I found the conversation was honest and open and she informed me of everything which was nice - she even gave me a hug which I thought was so lovely .
She is a nice person with a polite and kind demeanour and she will be the first person I will go to when I need someone aga

Heather was very meticulous about the house sit. She communicated very well and the house was left just as we left it. The animals were happy to see us, but I know they were not wanting for attention, as they had been given it from her. I would highly recommend Heather with no hesitation.
SHARYN (ROLLESTON South Island, Sep 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Heather took exceptional care of our house and our cat. She exceeded our expectations. She's a lovely person who we recommend highly and will be our first choice for future housesitting. We were away seven weeks and didn't worry about a thing thanks to her support.
LINDA (Redcliffs , Jul 2024 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Heather was amazing, very organised, and great at communicating. The house was left beautifully tidy. She loved our cats!
JULIE (West Melton South Island, Jul 2024 - 4 nights)
Heather is a fascinating person! Very easy company, and great to talk with.
She is reliable, punctual and left our house spotless.
We would strongly recommend her, and we're hoping to have Heather back in for future sits
JOE AND VICKY (Lincoln South Island, Jul 2024 - 3 nights)
Heather looked after our 2 very precious and spoilt cats for a week while we were on holiday. One of our cats is particularly shy and nervous and Heather managed to win her over. Communicaton was great and Heather kept in touch every few days to give us an update on our animals.
The house was immaculate on our arrival home and indoor and outdoor plants well looked after.
I cannot recommend Heather enough and we are so grateful to have been lucky enough to have her look after our home and ...

Heather is amazing , she looked after our dog & home very well everything was left very tidy & clean. Will be very happy to have her look after our dog & home again.
RHONDA (Redcliffs , Apr 2024 - 3 weeks)
Heather was a fabulous house sitter and our cat enjoyed her company. Great communication prior to coming, and while we were away. Would love to have Heather house sit again in the future.
STACEY (Cashmere South Island, Mar 2024 - 4 weeks)
If you are after a house sitter, I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She looked after our dog (& lizard!) like her own and it was such a huge relief for us to find someone so trustworthy and caring to look after our house. She is absolutely the person you want to book.
LOU (Beckenham South Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Heather is a delightful person who we were more than happy to look after our house and two dogs. As one of the dogs ran away, not Heathers fault, we got off to a stressful start. However all good after that and we would welcome Heather back to our home and to look after our dogs anytime in the future. Thanks so much Heather
PATRICIA (Casebrook South Island, Nov 2023 - 1 week 2 nights)
We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter!! Heather was amazing with our dogs and home and left it immaculate plus great communication. Thank you Heather!!
SHANNON (Bryndwr South Island, Nov 2023 - 4 nights)
We were very happy and confident to have Heather look after our house and our cat. The house was left very clean and tidy, and I would certainly recommend Heather to anyone looking for someone they can trust to look after their home and pets.
JENNY (Halswell South Island, Oct 2023 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
The communication with Heather right from the word go was awesome. Greeting our pets,was a delight to watch., they loved her. She made me feel right as ease when we meet her. She was a absolute delight to have mind over our pets, respectful and caring. We came to to a lovely clean house. Wouldn't hesitate to contact Heather again
RHONDA (Halswell South Island, Oct 2023 - 4 days)
Heather stayed in our home for 6 weeks. Looking after our three young cats. The cats love her and she understood their individual needs very well.
Heather kept our house clean and tidy , she met our neighbours kept in touch with us, sending us pictures of our animals.
I would definitely ask her again to look after our home and pets.
JACQUELINE (Amberley South Island, Jun 2023 - 6 weeks)

Heather is a fantastic pet sitter..
RUSSELL (Christchurch South Island, Apr 2023 - 4 weeks)
Heather was a wonderful house sitter. She looked after our cat Piper and kept the house clean and tidy on our return. She was responsive with communication and the whole process was really easy and stress free.
EMM (Christchurch South Island, Dec 2022)
Heather has looked after our home and wee dog twice now. The process was seamless and communication was great. Ruby was well cared for and our house was absolutely immaculate when we came home. I would not hesitate to recommend Heather.
VICTORIA (Beckenham South Island, Nov 2022 - 4 days)
We can highly recommend Heather. We were 'newbies' to the whole housesitting experience, but Heather made it super easy and it was great to get the occasional update about our pets whilst we were away. It was clear she had quickly got to grips with their different personalities. Thanks Heather for making this such an easy experience.
CHERYL (Cashmere South Island, Sep 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
We used Heather twice, and our experience was wonderful. She cares about our animals like we do, she is great with communicating and sent photos whilst we were away. She has definitely got a huge thumbs up from us and we would give her a positive recommendation to anyone.
REBECCA (New Brighton , Jul 2022 - 4 weeks)
Heather was an absolute lifesaver. Not only did she agree to catsit at very short notice, but then also went above and beyond to help out in between other commitments when my return home was delayed due to cancelled flights. It was obvious when I got back that my cats had been well-cared for and given a lot of attention (they are quite needy and affectionate!), and my house was extra clean and tidy.

Heather is very responsive and excellent with communication. She clearly has a lot of experience with animals, and quickly built rapport even with the shyer of my two cats. I can highly recommend having her housesit, and would not hesitate to ask her again in future.
JENNIFER (Sydenham South Island, Jul 2022 - 4 days)
My first time using a sitter and have been very impressed.
I came home to a very settled and happy dog and a beautiful tidy clean home.
I would recommend Heather to friends and family
DIANA (Christchurch South Island, May 2022 - 3 weeks)
Heather was fabulous! My cat is very timid and I was delighted to see that Heather built a rapport with her very quickly and Lola was even confident enough to sleep on the bed with her. My home was beautifully cared for, with extra cleaning which was a wonderful treat. Would highly recommend Heather.
JACQUELINE (Kaiapoi South Island, Apr 2022 - 1 week 2 days)
House was immaculate on return!
Heather was incredibly patient and kind with our rescue dogs and we will always appreciate that she won them over and looked after them so well.
Heather was very good in keeping us up to date and we would definitely have Heather again.
MICHELLE (Beckenham South Island, Apr 2022 - 4 days)
Heather was very professional and easy to communicate with! She took wonderful care of our cat and home while we were away. The house was left immaculate! Thank you Heather! :)

I have used Kiwihouse sitters a number of times and have always been pleased with each and everyone. Heather was very professional, polite and respectful of my home and understanding of my concerns about leaving my cat Judy as she is extremely nervous around new people and very wary of strangers. Heather made sure that Judy was well taken care of and I came home to a sparkling clean house.
