On a house-sit right now
First Aiders

Hi there! We are a couple from Argentina that have been living in New Zealand for the past 5 years. We are both First Aiders, very friendly, respectful, hard workers, easy going, quiet, clean, organised, non-smokers and fully COVID-19 vaccinated (2 vaccine + 2 boosters).
We love adventure and being amongst peaceful surroundings. We enjoy the simple things in life and taking nothing for granted. We love animals and nature, that's why we always look for places where we can be surrounded by them.
We miss our pets back home, so we would enjoy houses with animals a lot.
We like keeping the house tidy and clean as we find it, because we believe that your trust deserves our complete respect.
Please feel free to contact us!
Cheers, Dani and Lu.

5 STAR experience!!
This was our first time using a house sitting service and we did not know what to expect. However it has been an awesome experience for us. Dani and Luci looked after our house and cat for over 3 weeks while we went to Europe on holiday. They were amazing.

When we returned, we found that everything has been cleaned and organised. Every cupboard we opened was a pleasant surprise!! These guys did way more than we expected and left the house in better shape than we had left it. Really sorry they didn"t move in!
Thank you girls. Would love to use your help again and would highly recommend your services to anyone else.
Please feel free to pass our number on as a reference.
Go well Roisin & John Connolly

Casey was very happy to have Lu & Dani look after her, she was very settled & relaxed. Would definitely recommend Dani & Lu, home was left very tidy & Casey was happy to be able to stay in her own home.

Lu & Dani did a wonderful job looking after our house and cat. They were great to communicate with and kept us updated with pictures regularly. I can’t recommend them enough for the care of our cat and the immaculate house we came home to. They are very thoughtful and caring. I would happily have them again anytime.
TIFFANY & DENE (Blenheim South Island, Apr 2024 - 1 month 2 weeks)
We loved having you to housesit for us, we came home to an immaculate house, very happy animals and my flowers were thriving! Thanks again, highly recommend x

Lu and Dani were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They met with us beforehand so we could get to know one another and so they could meet our cats.
Before we went away, we started a WhatsApp group so we could keep in touch in case they needed anything. They sent us photos of our cat every couple of days (not missing us at all!) and she looked completely happy! One night Missy went missing and Lu and Dani drove around looking for her.

They sent us photos of our cat every couple of days (not missing us at all!) and she looked completely happy! One night Missy went missing and Lu and Dani drove around looking for her. They found her locked in the next-door Neighbour's barn and stayed with her to keep her calm until our neighbors came home and let her out! She was a very happy cat to be set free to be back with Lu and Dani.
Lastly, I came home to a spotlessly clean house! These girls are truly amazing! I trust them 100% with our house and our precious baby xxx

Lu & Dani
OMG I cannot give enough praise to these two gorgeous girls.
They took care and loved my fur babies, took them for long walks and cuddles.
The house looks amazing, I cleaned it for them lol, but they cleaned even more, when I arrived home, everything was immaculate, with dried flowers, difusers, sparkling shower, house and even windows.
Love and would recommend without hesitation. 5 stars ++
Thank you Lu & Dani
KATHRYN (Blenheim Central South Island, Jul 2023 - 3 weeks)
Lu and Dani were wonderful house sitters. The house was left spotless. Even windows and oven were cleaned! They maintained our garden -no mean feat as it involved lots of leaf raking. We definitely would have them again. Great find for us.
ALISON (Renwick South Island, May 2023 - 2 months)
Thank you Lu & Dani for taking wonderful care of our horses and our home. Great communication and the house was lovely and clean when we got home. Happy horses too. We would welcome Lu & Dani back to house sit and care for our animals anytime. We highly recommend Lu & Dani. Kind Regards Fiona & Garry.
FIONA (Albany North Island, Oct 2022 - 5 days)
Lu and Dani were awesome. Great comms, took amazing care of our doggo and home and left the place spotless. Simply put, they are the most amazing house and pet sitters. Thank you both so much.
STEVE & CARO (Remuera North Island, Oct 2022 - 3 days)
Lu & Dani were amazing with the animals, farm & house well looked after. So comforting knowing everything was being well cared for. Place looked amazing when we returned. Highly recommend these two beautiful souls.
GAIL (Te Pahu North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week 1 day)
Lu and Danni are friendly and down to earth. They took amazing care of our cat with daily pictures and updates, kept my daughters plant seeds thriving, and the house was cleaner than we left it.
They even folded the washing and cooked us some tasty treats! Would definitely recommend these ladies and would welcome them back anytime.
ALAN (Hamilton North Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week)
Dani and Lu were the most amazing house sitters ever!! They took time to visit beforehand to meet us and our cat. Communication was swift and easy. Throughout the sit, they sent us photos and videos of our cat to put us at ease. We returned to a tidy house, a very contented cat and some thoughtful gifts! Thanks Dani and Lu
ANN-MARIE (St Martins South Island, Sep 2022 - 2 weeks)
Lu and Dani were the most fantastic housesitters. They looked after our house and 2 dogs for over 3 months. Whilst we were away, they sent regular updates, pictures of the dogs and monitored our mail for urgent items. The dogs were well looked after and happy and relaxed when we returned home.
The house and gardens were cleaner and tidier than when we left - Dani and Lu had clearly spent many hours looking after our property to the highest of standards.

JENNY (Shirley South Island, Jun 2022 - 3 months 2 weeks)
Dani and Lu are amazing house sitters. They looked after my house, cat and dog for 7 days and I came home to very happy fur babies. The house was spotlessly clean and tidy, with a sunflower on the bench to brighten my return.
They kept me up to date with texts and photos so I was reassured that Clyde and Smudge were in very capable hands.
I 100% recommend them, in fact they are returning for a 6 week stay very soon. Thanks so much girls.
FIONA (Lincoln South Island, May 2022 - 7 days)
What a lovely experience we had with Lu and Danni. From the beginning they were professional and super friendly. I knew our Zorro and our home would be looked after well . They did a fantastic job having our puppy, home was sparkly when we got home and a very happy dog. We highly recommend Lu and Danni. Such a pleasure.
PENNY (Sumner South Island, Apr 2022 - 3 days)
We have just returned from our eight day holiday to find a clean and tidy home and two very content pets. A large bowl of home-made pumpkin soup on the bench was the icing on the cake! Danny and Lu are excellent house and pet sitters, well organised yet relaxed, considerate of our holiday time yet keeping in touch during the sit, and clearly great companions for our dogs. Thank you Danni and Lu for your care and attention of Roxy and Ace, and of our home. We would not hesitate to recommend ...

KAREN (West Melton Rural South Island, Mar 2022 - 1 week)
Lu & Dani are simply awesome!!! Communication was excellent, I came back home to two very happy pets and a immaculate house. I cannot be happier, they are just the best sitters I have come across. Super responsible and you can tell they love animals.
I will definitely contact them again in the future, 100% recommend these girls, it's been a pleasure and they gave me such peace of mind while travelling, knowing my "kids" were in very good hands Thank you!!
PAULA (Ngaio North Island, Jan 2022 - 2 days)
Lu & Dani were fabulous sitters, & I highly recommend them! Lovely conversation when we "met" them online before the sit, & regular communication throughout their stay. A little tricky that dates didn't mesh to meet in person beforehand, but they were great about reading & following my copious written instructions.

The house was beautifully clean & tidy on our return. Lu & Dani obviously spent lots of time to leave it nice for us. We were particularly grateful that they dealt with an unexpected pest problem that arose in our absence -- they saved us from coming home to a real nightmare. Instead we came home to the lovely surprise of finding the lawns mown!
But best of all our beloved but anxiety-prone puss was happy & settled when we arrived home, so she'd obviously enjoyed their visit.
SUSAN (Enner Glynn South Island, Dec 2021 - 2 weeks 1 day)
This was our first experience with using house sitters, so we were a little apprehensive around what to expect. Dani and Lu, however, were just perfect - they were absolutely brilliant with our boisterous lab. They communicated well with us, were happy to chat through things beforehand, sent us lots of messages and pics of Jet while we were away and left the house absolutely immaculate! They have certainly set the bar high for any future house sitters! I would recommend them without ...

Dani and Lu are amazing housesitters! They took great care of our property and animals incredibly well, and we returned home to very happy pets and an immaculate house (and mown lawns!). Our vege garden and plants (indoor and outdoor) were all well cared for as well. Dani and Lu communicated really well and touched base when we got home as well.

CHRIS (Tai Tapu South Island, Jan 2021 - 2 weeks 1 day)
These two are the best house sitters we've ever had the pleasure of hosting. They were confident meeting our big vocal dog without a prior meeting and took amazing care of our place, even mowed the lawns!!
Charlie was a big sook after they left, she clearly missed them very much!! Not to mention she was soo tired from all the playtime she had with her two new best friends
Would highly recommend Dani and Lu, they made our time away totally stress free.
Lots of love, Anna & Niall
ANNA (Addington South Island, Oct 2020 - 3 days)
We would highly recommend Dani and Lu for housesitting. We received great communication through out the stay and photos.
Our house was shining when we returned. Thank you Dani and Lu.
JENNY (Tauranga North Island, Sep 2020 - 2 days)
Dani and Lu were the most amazing dog/house sitters we have had! From the first meeting we felt very lucky to have them look after Archie. He was no doubt well looked after while we were gone and may even prefer them over us! The house was also cleaner than what we left it and had an amazing cake left for us when we got home.
Dani and Lu are just amazing!
JASON (Spreydon South Island, Jul 2020 - 2 days)
We felt so comfortable leaving our puppies with Dani and Lu. Right from meeting then I knew that they were definitely animal people. They're friendly, respectful and super understanding. Came home to a beautiful clean home, yummy treats and very happy dogs who were well looked after and loved!!! Would 100% recommend them and I would be more then happy to have them back to housesit!!
JESS (Kaiapoi South Island, Jul 2020 - 2 days)
Dani and Lu were absolutely wonderful housesitters. They come to stay to mind our two cats at short notice, They were so pleasant to deal with, left the house immaculate and logburner was going and house warm on our arrival home not to mention arriving home to some fresh baking from them. You would be lucky to have these two come and house sit!
PAULINE (Mairehau South Island, Jul 2020 - 4 days)
Just wonderful- the animals were all so happy and well looked after. They were very thoughtful , even bought Chong a treat to help her warm to them (and organic!)
The house was beautiful and tidy. Very easy to communicate and work with. I knew the house and my furbabies were safe and looked after.
They even left us a beautiful cake! Cannot recommend them enough.
RIA (Toi Toi South Island, Feb 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
Daniela and Lucy house sat and looked after our two wee dogs for just over a week, and although one of our little dogs was a bit anxious to start with, it wasnt an issue. We got home to a spotlessly clean and tidy house and two very happy little dogs. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Dani and Luci, they are lovely ladies who do a fantastic job!! Thanks guys!!
JESS (Blenheim South Island, Feb 2020 - 1 week 2 days)
Dani and Lucy are such awesome House Sitters (and even stretched themselves to Carer as my husband had to come home 1 day early due to an accident). They sent photos, kept the house super tidy, watered the garden and were just super lovely trustworthy people. Thank you both - was so lovely to meet you.
DEANNA (Otumoetai North Island, Jan 2020 - 6 days)
We were very lucky to have Dani and Luci stay in our house in January 2020. They were great communicators, were punctual and the care that they took of our house and pets was second to none. Our dog wasn't even excited when we got home - she was sad that her new friends were leaving! Our garden was so well taken care of and even plants that had been dying when we left had revived and even sprouted new leaves after two weeks of care from Dani and Luci.

Daniela and Lucia were wonderful our house was tidy and spotless when we returned.
Our cat looked really sorry that we had returned as she looked spoiled and healthy and a bit put out.
We would recommend these two lovely ladies to any one that needed pet care and house sitting
We would be happy to take a phone call to give further positive comments

Green garden!
Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
