We couldn't have asked for better housesitters.
Noela and Paul are such lovely people, friendly, relaxed, fantastic with animals, very competent and trustworthy.
Communication, including lovely photos of our pets, was great.
We arrived home to a spotless house and garden, happy, healthy pets and Paul produced a lovely curry for our first night back..
Thanks guys!!
Hope to see you again.
Highly recommended.
Having read their reviews booking Noela & Paul for our sit was a no brainer.
Noela's communication was quick and excellent all the way through, including kitty updates whilst we were away.
We returned home to an immaculate house, happy cats and a home cooked meal and treats - what a lovely touch 😍
We wholeheartedly recommend this fab couple for your sits and would have them back like a shot if they ever wanted to pass this way again.
Thank you so much Noela & Paul - happy onward travels!
Noela and Paul very kindly accepted our request for someone to look after our 3 cats and house for a week in June. We agreed everything and as they are so professional and sought after, they kept us right as we had never done this before. To say we're pleased is an understatement. We never had a moments worry when we were away with regular updates and photos and checking in with us. We knew our little fur babies were being well cared for. If you get the chance to book this incredible couple, ... MORE
Wow! What a joy to have Noela and Paul look after our two cats and our home and garden.
They may be very experienced Housesitters and know what pleases us hosts but we think they went way beyond what was expected!!
From the outset they were quite obviously cat lovers and during our sit Noela communicated with pictures and messages on a regular basis.
When we returned our home was completely immaculate and they even left us flowers, treats and even a welcome home meal - just wonderful!

Hi Noela and Paul,
thank you so much for your care and attention to our home and animals.
Sarah cat was very content and obviously enjoyed your care of her.
The home and gardens were lovely upon our return.
Thank you also for going the extra mile with a delicious meal and other treats you left for us.
The house plant is gorgeous.
We'd be very willing to recommend you to anyone needing house sitters.
Enjoy your next travel and adventures.
Thanks again.
Noela and Paul were absolutely wonderful caring for our home and pets. Fantastic communication and lovely to return home to some wonderful treats too!
Noela and Paul house sat for us for 10days looking after our 3cats, chickens and 2 highland cattle. We came home to a lovely clean house, dinner and some treats to keep us going till we could get to the shops, which went well beyond our expectations. Communication with Noela was great and they handled anything that cropped up! We would happily have them back and have no hesitation in recommending them.
We were incredibly lucky to have Noela and Paul house sit for 5 nights recently. Baby sitting out dog and a few sheep. We’ve been lucky to meet some wonderful house sitter over the years, but Noela and Paul are in another league! They’re both really lovely and took such great care of our pets and home. And the curry left for our return! So spoilt - it was absolutely delicious and just what we needed after a long day of travelling. If you get the opportunity to have them sit for you - jump at ... MORE
Wow amazing couple Noela and Paul are quite simply professionals, they take the trust and responsibility you give them to mind your home and care for your pets to a new level. No hesitation in recommending them if they aren't already snapped up you'll be lucky to have them. I cant seem to swipe the smile of my pooches face.
We felt like we hit the jackpot with Noela and Paul. Such warm, lovely people, who were easy to deal with and clearly very experienced. They totally put us at ease, and we were able to relax while away, knowing our animals were in competent, caring hands. It was wonderful getting to meet them when we got home, and then, of course, discovering our house was immaculate and there was a bowl of fresh fruit on the bench and a thoughtfully laid out dinner in the fridge. If we could give them a ... MORE
First time users of Kiwi House Sitters and we could not be more thrilled. Noela and Paul will be a hard act to follow!. Our property is quite large with gardens (flowers and veges) and some stock. Everything was looked after to perfection. Communication was great with some photos to assure us all was well with the pooch. Pauls traditional curry on my return was much appreciated along with some breakfast supplies and wee gifts. We could not recommend this couple more highly
Noela and Paul were amazing. They looked after our cats,home and garden with great care. We arrived home to feel like we were still on holiday. Can't thank them enough.
Noela and Paul were amazing! They were so efficient, and instantly bonded with Molly and Poppy. We were able to go away without worrying about our dogs which is a huge bonus. They are lovely people and we would have no hesitation in highly recommending them to anyone.
Noella and Paul are a delightful couple who took excellent care of our home and pets. They genuinely seemed to enjoy our dog and cat which made it easy for us to go on holiday without any concerns. Noella’s communication was outstanding and we loved her regular photos and updates about Marley & Birdie. They left our home spotless and generously and thoughtfully prepared a delicious evening meal for our return as well as leaving some fresh grocery supplies. We couldn’t have asked for better or ... MORE
Noela and Paul were outstanding house sitters. They were fantastic communicators and gave us regular updates and photos of our animals. We never for a second had a worry while we were away.
They left our house in a lovely state (probably better than when we left), and had even left us with a home cooked meal to come home to as well as some fresh fruit.
I couldn't recommend enough, if I had the choice I would choose them to look after our animals & home every time we were away.
Noela and Paul are amazing housesitters and their experience shows. I was only away for a short time but they obviously bonded well with my dog and she was happy and settled when I got home. Noela and Paul also left my house in spotless, tidy condition and included touches that meant coming home was a pleasure. Highly recommend Noela and Paul for house sitting.
We could not have asked for better house sitters!!! Noela and Paul were amazing, they sent us pictures of our fur babies and updates on everything that was going on. We came home to a beautiful tidy house, dinner for us in the fridge and some goodies for us and the kids which was amazing as we were exhausted after 27 hours worth of flights. We would have them house sit again in a heart beat
What a privilege it has been to have Noela and Paul house sit for us. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better and nor could our animal family.
Communications were excellent. Cats, chooks, sheep and fish were cared for superbly.
We came home to a spotless house, so nice to walk into. There were thoughtful touches throughout plus a delicious meal just waiting for us to heat up for tea. A delightful homecoming.
Thank you so very much Noela and Paul. It was such a pleasure, and ... MORE
Noela and Paul have been totally reliable house sitters. They communicated extremely well.
My animals were very well looked after. They left my house lovely and clean and when we arrived home there was a beautiful dinner ready for us to heat and eat. I can honestly say they are the best!!!
Many thanks to you both!!!
Can not recommend more highly - Paul and Noela are awesome. Our pets (2 dogs, 2 chicken and cat) were all very well looked after. The house was immaculate plus to come home to a few little treats, and a curry (thanks Paul) was amazing! These guys are amazing. Thanks for looking after our house and animals.
Noela and Paul were everything that I could have wished for in house/dog sitters. They are obviously very experienced in this type of work and, together with their interactions with the dogs, prior to my leaving, gave me full confidence that my dogs would be in good hands. They had a list of questions for me when they arrived, which gave me reassurance that they had given serious thought and attention to my welcome notes and were totally pet-focused. Regular communications and photos of the ... MORE
oela and Paul looked after our house and Sybil the cat for 2 weeks. This was our first experience with house sitters and it could not have been better. They corresponded regularly and sent photos of Sybil who looked very serene and relaxed. My partner Lyndon has returned home to a 'pristine' house and a very welcome cooked meal left by Paul. Plants have survived, he cannot stop telling me how great everything is. We would highly recommend Noela and Paul as house sitters.
Noela & Paul are excellent sitters.
They took great care of Rupert the cat, sent us pictures every few days and were a pleasure to deal with.
They went above and beyond to even cook a dinner for our arrival home, as well as leaving some other fruit and treats.
Highly recommend them as sitters and can hopefully have them back.
Thank you so much Paul & Noela
Your obvious expertise at housesitting made communication and handover a breeze.
The regular text updates and photos of our fur babies really helped us enjoy our holiday.
Thanks for looking after them and the house so well.
Noela and Paul are the most wonderful house sitters and pet looker afterers!
Communication before and during was fantastic. We even got pictures of our cats and updates on them every couple of days.
When we returned, they had left us with a delicious meal, milk, bread, fruit, goodies.....
We could not rate Noela and Paul highly enough.
I thoroughly recommend Noela and Paul for house sits. Our dog definitely was happy with their care, they moved our stock and I returned to a super clean house and lovely meal. They are very honest caring people. We have booked them in to house sit for us again!
Paul and Noela were the perfect house sitters. They kept in touch with us every 3 or 4 days with an update on Lily and a photo of her on one of her many walks where she always looked like she was enjoying herself. We arrived home to a happy and healthy dog. Paul and Noela kept our house and garden spotless. We also arrived home to a home cooked dinner from Paul (delicious) and grocery supplies for the next couple of day. So thoughtful and gratefully appreciated. Lily also "bought" us a ... MORE
We really enjoyed having Nola and Paul stay, we felt our place was in safe hands and they looked after everything well as if it was their own. We enjoyed chatting, and they also left us with a lovely dinner and a flower when we arrived home.
Noela and Paul took fantastic care of our house,garden, pool and spa. Noela communicated regularly, both before the house sit and during. They went above and beyond by taking us to and from the airport, cooking a scrumptious dinner and getting in a few fridge supplies for our return home. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Noela and Paul
Rhona and Larry
Are you looking for professional minders who have seen and dealt with every situation your home may present? Who leave your place nicer and cleaner than they found it, so that you discover thoughtful touches even days after your return?
Would you like to have your garden meticulously cared for and your pets loved so they're healthy and happy to see you when you get back? Who send you photos of your pets to coo over?
Would you like to be confident that your minders know when to contact ... MORE
I can not rate Noela and Paul any higher, they were beyond amazing, the absolute best house sitters you will ever find. Our pets have actually never been looked after so well (not even by us). Happy, healthy dogs and cat with extra food made for them. I'm sure our house was cleaner than when I left. Not to mention the extras that were left when we got home, milk, fruit, chocolates, yogurt, and the most amazing dinner I've ever eaten at home, chef quality! All of our plants, the garden, pool ... MORE
Noela and Paul were the greatest housesitters. They went above and beyond looking after our soxy and our chickens, and home and garden.
We were even welcomed home with a delicious meal and a food hamper for the following day. yes also a gorgeous flowering plant fo
r my patio area. I highly recommend them for a housesit.
Christine and Geoff
Would definitely recommend this lovely couple to look after your home and pets. They went above and beyond we came home to a cooked meal, fruit, chocolates and flowers. Our animals were very happy aswell.
Noela and Paula are wonderfully house sitters really go the extra mile to look after your house. They helped in the garden and even restocked our fridge for us. Definitely one of the best house sitters we've had.
Nola and Paul have raised the bar on fabulous house sitters! They were very good communicators and attentive to details on the hand over.
More than that, they gave our 2 dogs an energetic and enriched house sit.
On our return we were spoilt with the essentials in the fridge, a delicious meal prepare (including sweets), a fresh fruit hamper and a bowl of yummy Easter eggs. The house was immaculately clean and the roses deadheaded and the vegetable patch again under control.
Can't rate these ... MORE
Noela and Paul house sat for us for two weeks. Their attention to detail, communications and care for our animals, property and home were exceptional. We were also thrilled to receive a home cooked meal on our return, after a long drive. We have no hesitation to recommend Noela and Paul as prospective house sitters and hope they might be able to fit us into their busy schedule again in the future.
Noela and Paul were excellent housesitters. They kept in touch regularly while we were away, updating us on whatever was happening on the property. Cows, sheep, ducks, chooks, vegie patch and seedlings were all well looked after, and Paul did a few 'handyman' jobs for us as well. The house was spotless when we got back and there were flowers in the vase, and some goodies, as well as a lovely curry for our evening meal.
We have no hesitation in recommending them.
Noela and Paul were wonderful house sitters. From the first meeting to saying goodbye their communications were clear, friendly and helpful. They are very experienced house sitters and we felt we could totally trust them with our property and privacy . Their helpfulness was beyond our expectations . We returned to an immaculate house and Noela remembered the little details of the garden and added some new seedlings. Noela is a chook whisperer and they will miss her attention. Paul and Noela are ... MORE
Noela and Paul looked after our house for two weeks during July 2020.
We could not recommend them higher. Because of them, our holiday was stress free and we enjoyed our time away knowing our animals and home were in their care.
They were extremely easy to deal with, and great communicators. Upon our return, we were spoiled rotten, coming back to a delicious home cooked meal and a spotless house and happy animals.
They were very generous and great company, and we would not hesitate to ... MORE
Noela and Paul cared for our 20 acre property . They were required to shift and check stock ( 50 sheep and a few calves ) and care for chickens ducks and a cat. From first contact we were impressed . Noela contacted us at intervals prior to the house sit. They arrived prior to the time and ensured they understood what was required ( we were in drought conditions ) .
We arrived home to healthy happy animals . The house felt as though professional cleaners had been through .
A very ... MORE
I cannot recommend these sitters enough. Pets (dog, cat, tropical fish, guinea pig) were really well cared for and content (dog got two walks a day :-)). House was spotless (cleaner than we left it!). We got messages and pictures with updates throughout the sit. When we arrived home from holiday we found flowers in all the downstairs rooms and a pack of food for a plush breakfast. So awesome!
This was our first time having house sitters. It couldn't have gone smother. We got home to very happy animals and the house looked like cleaners had been in. We couldn't recommend Paul and Noela highly enough and hope to be able to use them again.
Dream sitters.House immaculate ,flowers in vases, meal cooked on our return but best of all our elderly dog happy & well cared for.Would recommend Noela & Paul unreservedly.
Noela and Paul are amazing. I can't speak highly enough of them. We were blown away by their care, communication, generosity, and kindness. Our precious ragdoll cat was completely relaxed and happy on our return - we've never seen him like that. The house was immaculate and Noela and Paul were kind enough to leave us a meal and lots of tasty treats. The garden and all my container plants were well looked after - far more than I expected. Noela and Paul went above and beyond the call of ... MORE
Noela and Paul came to meet us before the sit, and to go for a walk with Bramble. They gave us great confidence & allowed us to go away feeling happy that our pets would be safe and well cared for.
We had regular updates with photos and came home to a clean and tidy house. They also left us flowers, fruit, and a curry, which was delicious.
Noela and Paul are genuine and lovely people, and we feel honoured to have had them sit for us.
I highly recommend them to others.
Have just returned from a lovely relaxing break in Madeira, leaving our three much loved rescue dogs and our home in the care of Noela and Paul. Although are dogs are generally well behaved, looking after three is no mean feat, and we returned home to three chilled and happy dogs. Our house was immaculate with lovely touches ...a curry ready in the fridge, fresh flowers and a full fruit bowl. Noela and Paul kept in touch with us while we were away. Noela and Paul came early so we could give ... MORE
I feel like we hit the 'jackpot' after meeting Noella and Paul! They are exceptionally caring and generous people, who are dedicated 100% to their house and pet sits. Our dogs sulked once they left. We came home to a beautifully clean house, even fresh flowers replaced and a homemade curry awaiting us, after a 24 hour journey home. Communication was perfect, and our pets were so well looked after.
I would not doubt to wholeheartedly recommend them to look after your home and pets. We want ... MORE
Noela and Paul were great housesitters and looked after everything beautifully. Even came home to a cooked meal and Noela had very kindly planted some new vegies for us and left a treat for the kids. Animals were well taken care off. Would love to have them back anytime
Noela and Paul are the house sitters from heaven!
They are lovely people and communication was easy. Our cats and chickens were well cared for and relaxed. Our house was immaculate when we returned and they did heaps of extras off their own bat which was most appreciated. They are very experienced and we recommend them to anyone.
An amazing couple who looked after all our animals.
Both the dogs looked fantastic an happy when we came home, the grounds were freshly mowed, house was tidy an clean an to top it off a lovely dinner prepared for us. Regular updates an photos of our dogs, great company would love to have these guys back again
We loved having Noela and Paul house sit for us. They were very comfortable with our 2 labradoodle puppies and our older cats. It was very evident that their primary focus were the animals which made our vacation worry free. It was a pleasure to be able to spend time with them before we left so they got to know more about us and the animals. We also got to know them better and enjoyed all their stories of their adventures. We would definitely welcome them back to our home . Maybe when the ... MORE
Noela and Paul house sat for us for month (Apr/May 18).
They are a nice couple who treat house sitting professionally and easily coped with our 'first time' worries. Our Border Collies bonded well and were sorry to see them go at the end of the sit. The chicken and garden both enjoyed the upgraded care in our absence, whilst the house was in immaculate condition.
They are welcome back anytime and we would thoroughly recommend them as Sitters..
Noella & Paul did a great job looking after our property and 'farmily' for approx. 5 days. Communication was good - we Skyped prior which was really helpful! They have a very good understanding of animals and common sense approach to everything. We appreciated that they were keen to stick to routines for the pets' sake and seemed to truly love animals. We would recommend them. Glad to have been part of their adventure!
Having strangers looking after your property and dearly loved animals was something we were quite nervous about, yet reading all the references that Noela and Paul had definitely made the decision easier. Yet of course we were still a bit nervous about it all. We needn't have worried. Noela and Paul are Gods in our book. They were absolutely amazing! We'd never left the dogs, cats, chooks and horse for so long before. They sent us daily updates and photos. When we returned the dogs weren't even ... MORE
Amazing housesitters - the animals adored them and didn't even seem to know that we weren't there. We loved spending time with them. So nice to come home to a happy house with extremely happy animals. Welcome back anytime.
Noela and Paul were brilliant house sitters the cats were very happy,they looked after the house and garden even cut the grass. Would definitely recommend them.
Noela and Paul were very organised, prompt with communication and clear on details. The dogs were settled on our return, always a sign of a good sit and the house and garden were very clean and tidy. Recommend highly.
We would thoroughly recommend Noela & Paul for peace of mind for your home and pets whilst you are away. They looked after our 'special' cat, 5 hens, tiddlers, home and garden for 10 days in early June. Great communication before the sit, answered questions and provided details promptly which reassured us everything would be in good hands. Not phased by an untimely sick 'chick' who needed a lot of attention and was handled in a practical and caring manner. Happy to indulge our wild bird feeding ... MORE
Noela and Paul did a three week housesit for us and took great care of all our pets and the house. We were able to completely relax away from home knowing that we had two very capable people in charge of things back home! Many thanks to them both and we have no hesitation in strongly recommending them as housesitters.
what can we say. Perfect. All the animals we happy and relaxed, Molly was sad to see them go.
The house was spotless and the little extra touches made all the difference. Pual that was a great green curry!
Noela and Paul sat for us, our two labs, chickens and an aged cat and we are delighted to give the following endorsement. They are a perfect couple for anyone to have in their house, totally trustworthy, cheerful and brilliant with our animals. The house was cleaner when we returned than when we left with grass cut and many nice touches to welcome us home. Dogs loved them and we were kept informed throughout. We could not have asked for any more and are very happy to award them the highest ... MORE
Noela and Paul house sat for us earlier this month, looking after our cats, house and gardens while we were away. A lovely friendly couple, sending daily updates and leaving 2 happy cats and a lovely clean house. Paul even mowed the lawns!! Would highly recommend this couple for any house sit and they are welcome back any time! Many thanks again Noela & Paul and happy travels. Marse
Noela and Paul were wonderful sitters. The animals loved them and they went the extra mile. What a lovely surprise to find a gift and flowers when we got home. Paul the curry was wonderful thank you both so much
Chris and Roxanne
Noela and Paul were amazing. They left the place in better condition then when they arrived. They are delightful kind people who took amazing care of our pets and our property.
We would welcome them back in a hearbeat.
Thank you so much and enjoy your ongoing adventures.
Noela and Paul looked after our home and much loved dog Rosie and 2 chooks for a month while we were away. They began with a 'meet n greet' visit before we left, a great way to introduce themselves not only to us but our dog. Immediately we felt comfortable with these two caring for our property, and sure enough they were spectacular! Not for a moment did we feel uncertain about their abilities and honesty. While we were away we received texts every few days with updates, their communication ... MORE
