Independent Tidy Reliable Animal Lovers

42, Supply Chain Manager

41, Electrical

We are caring & professional sitters recently returned home to New Zealand from two years' travelling and housesitting all around the world. We have also housesat through Trusted Housesitters and can provide references for these housesits too upon request. We are non-smokers who naturally keep aclean and tidy home. Police checks on both of us from Feb 2020 available on request.

We've cared for pets of all shapes & sizes - cats, dogs (including St Bernards 95kg! Newfies & large Mastiffs), reptiles, farm animals, fish and alpacas! We've cared for all sorts of different homes, from a tiny cottage on a Canadian island to a large Bed & Breakfast property in Spain.

We are very comfortable caring for elderly pets, pets needing medications, multiple pets and very large (or very small) dogs. Having our own car means we have recently been able to take the dogs we look after to local parks and beaches.

Nikki has worked with pets for 12 years, in nutrition, welfare and rescue adoptions. She currently works for Pet Direct as Supply Chain Manager.

Chris has a background in electrical work and property management. A keen gardener and handyman, so your property (as well as your pets!) will always be in safe hands with us.

Nikki and Chris were fantastic. We met with them both prior to the sit to introduce them to Winnie (the dog). We were away for 3 weeks and we received lots of messages about how Winnie was doing and all the fun things she was up to with them which was great to see and helped us enjoy our trip more knowing Winnie was being well looked after. When we returned the house was spotless and Winnie was her happy usual self. I think she is going to miss them. We would highly recommend Nikki and Chris ... MORE

Nicola and Chris recently looked after our two cats and our home for two weeks. They communicated really well before and during the sit. The cats were very happy on our return, and our home was clean and all in order too. We would highly recommend Nicola and Chris as successful house/pet sitters. Thank you so much, we really appreciated your time in our home. 😁
 
JANE (Bucklands Beach North Island, Oct 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
We highly reccomend Nicola & Chris as house sitters. They were so easy to communicate with and left our house looking immaculate. My indoor and outdoor plants were well cared for over the 8 weeks we were away. It was a relief to feel confident overseas that our home was in good hands.
 
SARAH (Silverdale North Island, Aug 2024 - 2 months 1 week)
Nikki and Chris were absolutely amazing! We had frequent updates and photos about our pets and the house was spotless when we arrived home. They took our dog Aoife on plenty of trips and visits to Nikki's work. Having such a long time away from home (6 weeks) it was so nice to know our pets and house were in such good hands. Highly recommend and would love to have them housesit again.
 
ANDREA (Mt Roskill North Island, Jun 2024 - 1 month 2 weeks)
Very glad we chose to get Nikki and Chris to look after our 10 year old dog, instead of putting him in a kennel. Great communication, nice people, left the house clean and tidy, no problems. Would definitely invite them back again!
 
MONIKA (Hillcrest North Island, Jun 2024 - 1 week)
Thank you so much Nikki & Chris :-) This was a faultless and problem free experience. Our animals were so well taken care of we are concerned Theo (the labradoodle) is disappointed we are home! The house and yard were clean, the animals happy and content, and we received regular updates about the fur kids while we were away. It was wonderful to feel secure and not worry about the house or animals while we were away for a month.. I highly recommend this lovely couple and would invite them ... MORE
 
JANE (Glen Eden North Island, Apr 2024 - 4 weeks)
Nikki & Chris were great! Our dog was loved by them all weekend & our home was left beautifully clean when we returned home 🏠 Would use again & highly recommend ☺️
 
GRACE (Glendene North Island, Apr 2024 - 6 nights)
Nikki and Chris were such fabulous pet sitters, we were so lucky to have them. Ellie went on many fun adventures to Nikki’s work and Smokey got lots of lap cuddles and even scored a new cat bed from Nikki’s work! They took excellent care of our home and it was immaculately clean when we got home. I had great updates with pics and videos the whole time we were away. We really appreciate all of the effort, love and care Nikki and Chris took. I highly recommend them both 😀
 
CHANTELLE (Beachlands North Island, Mar 2024 - 3 weeks)
We couldn’t rate Chris and Nikki higher - very happy cats and dogs, they got nice big runs every day! And an amazingly clean and tidy house to come home to - thank you Chris and Nikki 😊
 
CAROLYN (Elmore Rd, Albany North Island, Dec 2023 - 1 week 3 nights)
Nicola and Chris were wonderful housesitters who we would highly recommend. We crossed over briefly and felt very comfortable leaving them in our home with Pipi. Great communicators, trustworthy and great dog walkers! I arrived home to a very content dog and a tidy house. Chris and Nicola also sent update photos of adventures with Pipi that I really enjoyed. I highly recommend them to anyone.
 
BRIGIT (Kelvin Heights South Island, Oct 2022 - 4 days)
Niki and Chris were great and made going away so easy! Fantastic communication and they sent updates over the weekend. Our dogs were clearly spoiled when we returned! Such great price of mind for me. We have a lot of baby animals at the mo and Niki and Chris where great with it all. We'd definitely have them back and highly recommended to other pet and home owners. Thanks so much!
 
JENN (Blenheim South Island, Nov 2020 - 2 days)
Nikki and Chris were fantastic! Te house and Harvey were in excellent hands. Loved the daily updates too. Highly recommend
 
KENDALL (Beckenham South Island, Sep 2020 - 3 days)
Thank you so very much to Chris and Nikki for looking after our home and two dogs. Amazing communication and followed all instructions for our precious pooches to the letter. Our home was beautiful and clean. Both dogs were very happy and relaxed, which is a big deal as our highly strung poodle suffers separation anxiety. Highly recommend these sitters and would love to have again.
 
AMANDA (2 Townshend Cresent , Sep 2020 - 3 days)
Nikki and Chris were awesome house sitters and great people! They pulled out my weeds for me and did an amazing job looking after my little dog. I highly recommend them and hope to see them again one day!
 
TRACY (Edgeware South Island, Jan 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
Nikki and Chris looked after the house and cars so well while we were away. The cats were all happy , including out shyest one. The house and garden were spotless. I'd happily have Nikki and Chris to sit again and very happy to recommend to others.
 
MHAIRI (Central Christchurch South Island, Jan 2020 - 6 days)
Wonderful first sitting experience with Nikki and Chris! I was super nervous as this service seems absolutely too good to be true, but it all worked out so well. Due to my nerves I requested Chris come over ahead of time to meet the dog, (she's our 5th child- can't leave her with just anyone ;-)). While I sure it was not convenient, Chris did so without complaining- he was so polite and kind- he totally put my mind at ease that our rambunctious puppy would be safe and well cared for. From ...

Nikki and Chris were amazing. They exceeded our expectations in every possible way and in fact probably the best we have ever had. Would obviously welcome them back anytime Regards Chris & Jen

Safe house!

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