I have now been housesitting for over 6 and a half years, I love it so much that i do not intend stopping. [there are so many memories] What a wonderful adventure it is, Ive stayed at some magnificent places and homes, looked after all types of pets and animals. Met some very interesting lovely people who i have made freinds with and keep in contact with.
As i love walking fishing, tramping and outdoor activities it a perfect way to explore our beautful country
PLEASE NOTE. I have my own transport
Warm regards David

No rating David was a wonderful house sitter and our dogs adored him. Our house was left tidy and we appreciated the fresh milk and bread left for us. We would not hesitate recommending him.

David was great and left our house beautifully clean. He kept us up to date with doggie news and was in regular contact before the sit. Highly recommend him as a sitter.
 
SUE (Rangiora South Island, May 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
We highly recommend Dave as a house sitter. He looked after our property and collection of animals so well. Nothing was a problem, regularly checking stock and water, mowing lawns, changing the fish tank water and very kindly planting our glasshouse with veges. He was great at communicating both prior and during his stay. Knowing our home and animals were being so well looked after made our trip away less stressful. Thanks again Dave.
 
MARTY (Kakahu , Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
We had David house sitting for a little over three weeks and found him to be excellent. He is friendly and easy to get on with and communicated well. We returned to a spotless house and well looked after pets. We would thoroughly recommend him.
 
GREG (Loburn Kowai Road , May 2023 - 25 days)
It was a real delight to meet David and I am really grateful for his care of my property and my dog. He even put in some winter veges for me and mended my deck. I look forward to David’s help next time.
 
HEATHER (Carterton North Island, Feb 2023 - 3 weeks)
David was excellent at keeping in touch with us about how our dog Milo was going. He was in the area prior to the house sitting commenced so made time to come and meet us and meet Milo. David took Milo for regular walks and trips to the beach. Our house was kept tidy and we would totally recommend him to anyone else.
 
BRIDGIT (Invercargill South Island, Dec 2022 - 2 weeks 2 days)
David took great care of the animals, house and garden- I am happy to recommend him
 
BETH (Wanaka South Island, Dec 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
This was our first experience with kiwihousesitters and we couldn't have asked for more. The minute Dave walked into the door we knew it was going to be alright, and indeed: after one week we came back to a happy dog, super tidy house, lawns that were mowed and plants that were thriving. We were even left with some groceries and the sheets and towels were on the washing line. What a great guy Dave is, I certainly hope he will be back, and I can't recommend him enough for future housesits. ... MORE
 
EVELIEN (Lincoln South Island, Oct 2020 - 1 week)
David did a terrific job of looking after our pet dog and our home. He went the extra mile for us - we were delighted to see when we came home that he'd cleaned our farm truck, and brought some firewood in and set the fire. We highly recommend David for his communication, initiative, and reliability, along with the great care he took of Bella the Labrador.
 
SUE (Waihao Downs South Island, Oct 2020 - Four nights)
David is a fabulous sitter. His communication is excellent. He took great care of our house and animals and managed our somewhat timid dog really well. We have no hesitation at all in highly recommending him as a sitter.

David was a superstar. He went the extra mile and more! Our dogs and Jet the cat will miss him. Dinner cooked for us on our return. He surprised us by doing a few chores around the place. This was a seamless dog/housesitting experience for us and we couldn't have asked for more. Thankyou David. Stay in touch please.

Dave house-sat for me for 2 weeks - everything was well cared for, immaculately clean and tidy on my return and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a thoroughly professional, pleasant and trusted house sitter. He sent me regular updates and I valued his understanding of my needs, particularly regarding care of my tunnel house and chooks. Thanks Dave!

JANET (Invercargill South Island, Mar 2018 - 1 week)
No rating Dave has taken care of our home and many animals recently for 10 days. We returned to the property immaculate and animals very happy. Dave went beyond his 'call of duty' cleaning up after a huge amount of rain. We cannot recommend Dave highly enough if you are considering a genuine, careful pleasant Housesitter.
JO & RICHARD (Salisbury South Island, Feb 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating David looked after our home with two dogs and a cat. He was fantastic, walking the dogs every day at the beach, and keeping the place well and truly looked after. We would throughly recommend him to anyone and would be very happy to have David back again.
