BRIAN (Te Anau/Southland South Island, Dec 2024 - 2 weeks 1 night)
We had a great experience with Janice looking after our home and cat. She gave us an update a week after arriving and was fast at responding if we had questions. The house was left clean and tidy and the cat was happy when we returned. We wouldn't hesitate to have her back again!
 
ROSIE (Redwood South Island, Sep 2024 - 3 weeks)
Janice was amazing the house was spotless when I returned she did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend her
 
SHAVAUGHN (Mairehau South Island, Jul 2024 - 1 month 3 weeks)
Excellent housesitter. Everything so tidy wouldn't have known she'd stayed. Straight froward and excellent communication. Thank you Janice
 
ANTHEA (Mt Pleasant South Island, May 2024 - 2 months)
Janice was a lovely housesitter, very tidy and respectful of the house and did a great job at keeping our garden thriving through the hot dry summer. Thanks again!
 
VICTORIA (New Brighton South Island, Feb 2024 - 4 weeks)
Janice looked after my house while I was away on holiday. She left everything so neat and tidy I hardly knew she was there. She looked after my cat and watered my garden just as I asked her to and she gave me a little update by text to let me know things were going well. Thanks Janice for taking such great care of things.
 
JESSICA (Parklands South Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Janice is someone I'd definitely have to sit again. I came home to a spotless home and a happy cat. She really had a tough time with my cat Rupert who was stressed but she kept him happy. Thanks Janice!
 
NOLENE (Parklands South Island, May 2023 - 3 weeks)
I can highly recommend Janice as an extremely reliable house sitter. We came home to a very clean house, and a very well looked after Charlie cat. Nothing was a problem, and the explicit garden watering programme was followed to the T. We would love to have Janice back at our place again, but you might have to fight us off for first dibs!!
 
KATHY (Redwoodtown South Island, Dec 2022 - 18 days)
Janice did a great job of looking after our home and animals. She made no fuss, just got on with what we had shown her needed to be done, very efficiently, and coped with our "high needs" miniature horse who gets medication twice a day. She sent photos of our animals, which is always reassuring, and we knew that they were in capable hands. We would have no hesitation in reccommending her as a house sitter.
 
FIONA (Ashburton South Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week)
Janice looked after our home and our cat for 2 and a half weeks while we were away. Our cat was well looked after and happy. Our home was spotless and she even left the light on because I returned on a late flight home. Thank you. We will recommend Janice for house sitting
 
KEVIN & MELISSA (Woolston South Island, Aug 2022 - 2 and a half weeks)
Janice looked after my two fluffies (cats) incredibly well. Great communication and a spotless house on return and contented well fed boys. Can highly recommend and would have back again.
 
GINA (Charteris Bay South Island, Aug 2022 - 1 week)
Janice is brilliant, everything you need in a housesitter. A very practical lady who had an immediate rapport with our young dog. Hope to have her back in the future
 
A HENDERSON (Governors Bay South Island, Aug 2022 - 8 days)
Janice was an exceptional house sitter. Her pre-stay communication was fantastic. Webster enjoyed her looking after him and the house was immaculate on our return. Highly recommend Janice.
 
TRISH (Arthurs Point South Island, Feb 2022 - Long weekend)
We HIGHLY recommend Janice to anyone seeking a trustworthy, friendly and reliable house/pet sitter. Janice took immaculate care of our home and gave our cat all the love and attention he needed! She was also incredibly understanding and accommodating of our ever changing plans due to Covid alert levels. We very much look forward to having Janice again in the future.
 
LIZZ (St Clair South Island, Dec 2021 - 3 weeks)
We were very lucky to have Janice house-sit for us for a total of 3 weeks over the Christmas / New Year period. Our dog Bella was very well cared for and had lots of lovely walks; she certainly seemed happy and healthy when we returned home. Janice looked after our house beautifully too and even cut the rapidly growing lawns for us. We would definitely welcome her back again and would recommend her to others looking for a reliable and trust-worthy house-sitter.
 
LAURA (Macandrew Bay, Dunedin South Island, Dec 2021 - 3 weeks)
Janice has sat for us on two occasions. She was excellent and we will certainly use her services in the future .
 
JOHN (St Clair South Island, Sep 2021 - 2 x roughly 7 days each)
Janice was an amazing sitter. Could not recommend her more highly. Our house was spotless on our return and our doggo well loved and cared for. Her communication was excellent and we are super grateful for her amazing help! Thanks you Janice!
 
ROB (Ravensbourne South Island, Jun 2021 - 4 days)
Janice was fantastic, took great care of my dog while I was away. It was real peace of mind knowing the house and dog were being taken care of; would highly recommend!
 
GEMMA (Green Island South Island, May 2021)
Janice is very easy to work with. She is great with domestic systems, unphased by odd requests( eg keeping the sourdough bug going, or feeding the Tuis and Bellbirds their sugar water to precise cleanliness and quantities). The house was just perfect on our return, clean and tidy almost as though she hadn't been here.(She washed and hung the sheets and towel out, so she was here). Janice is quick to respond to emails, and reliable. We will ask her again next time we are away, and I ... MORE
