House proud carers

66, Teacher

67, Retired

We are both vegetarian, non-smokers and non-drinkers. We enjoy travel and getting amongst the locals to experience the culture and environment. We have a married daughter in Tauranga and a son in Hamilton.

We're based in Gisborne. Pauline is working part time so please make contact and we'll see what we can arrange.

We have owned a number of homes over the years from Invercargill to the Waikato. We've also enjoyed some awesome pets including goats, birds, dogs and cats.

We'll take excellent care of your property and look forward to caring for your pets so you can relax knowing all is well on the home front.

No rating Thanks very much Pauline & Tony. Arrived back from holiday to a lovely clean and tidy house and most important, a healthy and happy dog. Tucker has been very well looked after. He hopes you will be able to come and look after him again. Thanks again from Marynn, Dave and Tucker.

This is the second time Pauline and Tony have looked after our house and Tui. The house was once again left immaculate for our return and Tui was happy and content too. Couldn’t ask for more. Perfect housesitters.

Thank you so much Pauline and Tony for taking such amazing care of our home and our precious Murphy dog and Darcy the cat. The house was immaculate when we got home from our trip - so amazing to come home to!!! Highly recommend - we would not hesitate to ask to housesit again if the opportunity should come up.

I highly recommend Pauline and Tony. They took great care of Coco (our Pug) and left our house clean and tidy. Friendly and approachable couple. I would definitely have them again to housesit.

Thanks Tony and Pauline. The cats were very happy and relaxed, Susie really appreciated the updates while we were away. The house was immaculate and Tony's dinner and dessert was much appreciated by the time 6pm came around and neither of us wanted to cook!

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Pauline and Tony were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I was confident that they were trustworthy and caring. The house was left clean and we'll cared for. Nice to come home to. Cat was relaxed, well fed and happy. Thanks so much. Highly recommended!

LINDA (Pyes Pa, Tauranga , Apr 2024 - 1 week 5 nights)
Pauline and Tony were amazing house sitters, communications was excellent, they arrived when they said they would, treated the house and pets as if they were their own. Would offer them our house again without a doubt.
 
ANTHONY (Onekawa North Island, Feb 2024 - 4 nights)
Pauline and Tony are the most wonderful housesitters. Great communication, a happy cat and a spotless house. You couldn't ask for better! They kept us informed of what was going on at home and are very friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend them and would love to have them come and sit for us again.
 
DALE (Bethlehem North Island, Jul 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
We couldn't ask for better house sitters. Pauline and Tony left our home better than when we left it. Communication was excellent, usually by text. They were very obliging and did everything they could to keep our dog happy and comfortable.We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them and would happily have them back in our home.

No rating Thank you so much Pauline and Tony for taking such amazing care of our home and Kitty. The house was well looked after and immaculate when we got home from our trip - and Kitty looked very healthy and happy! Highly recommend, great communication and lovely people, will not hesitate to ask to housesit again if the opportunity should come up.
KATIE (Mount Maunganui North Island, May 2018 - 2 weeks 4 days)
No rating Being my first experience with Kiwi House Sitters, I was incredibly anxious with leaving my pets and home to the care of others. Pauline and Tony could not have been a better choice. They accommodated us in stopping by a day early not only to meet our pets, but to go on a trial walk to help make the transition easier. Communication was abundant with many photos of happy, well adjusted dogs. My little dog proved to be a pain in the butt, searching and whining for us through the night, requiring ... MORE
SCOTT (Parua BAy North Island, May 2018 - 2 weeks 4 days)
No rating We cannot recommend Pauline and Tony enough. Such lovely people who were obviously well loved by our two little dogs who are still trying to figure out where they have gone. Whats more we returned home to a beautiful clean house and fresh scones and home made Fejoia chutney. Just perfect. Thank you guys so much.
GAYLENE (Papamoa North Island, Apr 2018 - 1 week 5 days)
No rating Tony and Pauline did a fantastic job of looking after our much loved dogs for two weeks. At short notice they willingly stepped in. On returning home they had left us a delicious casserole to enjoy due to our late night arrival, and the house was clean and tidy as we had left it. I have no hesitation in recommending these two to any one who is looking for an attentive and caring couple to look after their house and pets.
BELINDA (Havelock North North Island, Mar 2018 - 2 weeks)
No rating Fabulous to come home to a very happy dog, stunned that our lawns had been mowed, house immaculate, and home baking. We have never before been treated like this thank you so very much, we so appreciated your efforts Pauline & Toni taking care of our menagerie.
ROSE (Tauranga North Island, Jan 2018 - 1 week 3 days)
No rating Pauline and Tony were fantastic house sitters. They went out of there way to come and meet me before they house sat and they were very obliging with all changes. They left the house immaculate and even mowed the lawns before our arrival home. I would definitely use again and would highly recommend. Max and Chiko must have been extra well looked after as they were not fussed to see us on return! I look forward to you house sitting again soon

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
