Tony did an awesome job, left the house spotlessly clean, would 100% recommend him and will be using him again if he’s available A++

Tony is an awesome and responsible house sitter. He kept our house clean and tidy and took great care of our dog which has special needs. We really appreciate Tony’s clear and frequent communication while we were away. This gave us a peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands. Will definitely have Tony again for future housesit. Totally recommended. A++++ :)

Thanks Jas. I value the friendship with you, Picca, Nick, and of course Lucas.
Tony was a responsive, respectful and tidy house/pet sitter. He managed our large adolescent dog no problem. All went well.
 
AMY (Cambridge North Island, Oct 2024 - 6 nights)
Tony was an excllent house sitter. We came home to a clean and tidy home, and happy and relaxed cats. Tony is very responsive which made us feel at ease while we were away. Thanks Tony!
 
LEAH (Inglewood North Island, Aug 2024 - 1 month 1 week)
This was our first experience of having a housesitter and leaving our dog and home for a lengthy period. However, we could not have been happier with the way Tony looked after our dog Louie and the house. Tony was always friendly and prompt with communication, and had a great rapport with Louie and the Cockle Bay dowg walking community! We came back to a clean, tidy house and a warm welcome. Thanks, Tony, we would be more than happy to have you back for our next trip.
 
SUE (Cockle Bay North Island, Jun 2024 - 2 months 2 weeks)
A mix up with our flights meant we did not meet Tony until we returned from holiday but the communication was good and one of our neighbors met him and we left plenty of information for him. Abby the dog was well looked after which was the main reason we had a housesitter. The kitchen was not as clean and tidy as we expected but overall everything was fine.
 
MARILYN (Matata North Island, Apr 2024 - 3 weeks)
I wiped down the stove top after use each time as requested. I swept the floor. I cleaned out the fridge, replacing the dirty tissues that had been laid in the bottom of the vegetable drawers, replacing them with new ones. I cleaned down the sinks and the worktops.
All the cats and dogs seemed happy with the care that Tony gave, even bringing presents of mice! Sorry Tony the time of year. Weather is getting colder, and mice are out and about storing up for the winter. Easy prey. All in all, a good house sit, thank you Tony.
 
CLAIRE (New Plymouth , Apr 2024 - 1 week 3 nights)
Tony was punctual with his replies whenever we asked about how things were going while we were away. And the house was extremely tidy when we got back - even tidier than when we left (which was a welcome surprise!) I would recommend Tony to anyone wanting a responsible, clean and tidy house sitter.
 
MICHAEL (Parakai North Island, Mar 2024 - 3 weeks)

ALAN (Rotorua North Island, Mar 2024 - 3 nights)
Tony looked after my greyhound and house for a month. Brodie was very well cared for and was clearly happy in my absence. House and garden clean and tidy on my return.
 
FRANNIE (Island Bay North Island, Feb 2024 - 4 weeks)
Tony was great with our dog Molly and looked after her well. Our house was left clean and tidy - perfect to come home to! Highly recommended
 
MARGOT (Paraparaumu North Island, Feb 2024 - 1 week 1 night)
Tony was meticulous in his care and attention our small farm of furry friends. We heard from him daily which kept allowed us to relax and feel at ease knowing our home and beloved ones were in good hands. Tony is reliable and communicative, there were notes on various things when we arrived home, so everything was clear, and coming home was a pleasure!
 
KARI (Warkworth North Island, Jan 2024 - 5 nights)
Thanks Kari and Jono. You have a wonderful home and your dogs are such good company. Best Tony
Tony took wonderful care of our 2 dogs while we were away for a month. He left the house beautifully clean also. Communication was top notch. Highly recommend Tony as a house sitter. Thanks again
 
AMANDA (Whitby North Island, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
Tony did a great job of looking after our house and pets. The place was clean and tidy when we returned, and his communication was excellent. He took great care in making sure he had a good understanding of what needed to be done while we were away. Would recommend.
 
NINA (Hastings North Island, Dec 2023 - 3 nights)
Thank Nina. It was a pleasure house siting for your wonderful family.
Tony fed the poultry and watered the garden as laid out without any problems. We did however take exception to arriving home with the flu after a 26 hour flight to find no basics at all in the fridge.(we had left basics) After he left, we had his dishwashing to do , bed linen to launder , and house cleaning to do. We have had many housesitters and this is the first time we have struck this. We were not impressed.
 
BARRY (Whangarei North Island, Nov 2023 - 3 weeks)
I did everything that was asked of me. It is true that the house owners, who are elderly, arrived home exhausted after a 26 hour flight. I stayed the extra night because they were coming back at 4.30 pm. They asked me to do an extra feed of the animals which I did. I then left at 7 am the next ... MORE
Tony easily found his way around home and village, JD was well looked after and I couldn't fault the communication. Thanks for leaving the place as you found it. I very much appreciate it.
 
LU (Matamata North Island, Oct 2023 - 2 weeks 4 nights)
We left Tony with a few chores to do - he managed all of these admirably . Feeding calves ( this involved carrying buckets of milk and herding them into a pen ) , feeding lambs , checking cows and sheep as well as managing 2 cats one of which is at the annoying kitten stage . We came back to a tidy and clean house and all animals were well fed and healthy .
 
DOT AND MALCOLM (RD 3 Morrinsville North Island, Oct 2023 - 4 nights)
Tony was great -we came back to a very happy cat and a well-maintained house. He always kept in touch so we didn't have any worries when we were away. Thank you very much Tony.
 
TRISH (Waiheke Island , Jun 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
Pleasure to have Tony here looking after the house and the animals. Great communication and we are happy to have Tony here again when needed.
