Another great housesit with Ivana - she went above and beyond to do small tasks like charging our cats GPS collar and even unpacking our Hellofresh meal delivery so our items stayed cold while we were on our way home. Great communication as always and would welcome Ivana back anytime. Stormy was relaxed and happy when we got back and appeared to not have even missed us which is a good sign that she had lots of love while we were away. Thanks again for a great housesit. Would recommend 😊

We are so thankful that Ivana was able to housesit and look after our very loved Burmese cat. Ivana took the time to make sure they had all the right information so that the house sit would go smoothly and she was very good at communicating. Left the house spotless and we came home to a very relaxed and happy cat. Would recommend to others. We are lucky enough to have Ivana come and look after Stormy again soon.

As this was my first house-sit experience, and with a new puppy, I was a little unsure about what was to come, however right from the outset Ivana was fantastic. She made an extra effort to travel to do a meet/greet with Cooper & I before the scheduled date, her comms was always so prompt, friendly and professional. I had just the right amount of contact whilst I was away to let me know all was going well and from our first meet and greet I knew that my Cooper was going to be in great hands. ...

He also warmed to Ivana straight away. House was beautifully tidy on my return. would highly recommend Ivana and would love the opportunity to have her house-sit again in the future

Ivana was great at communication. She was flexible on our leaving and returning. Ivan also came over to see us beforehand to get to know Rusty and the house.
I would recommend Ivana for pet sitting.

What an amazing woman- I swear the house was cleaner when we returned home and the animals were sad to see her leave. Ivana had excellent communiciation with us and she went out of her way to respond quickly to the ad and to meet with us. I would not hestitate to have her housesit again and I really hope that she does!

Ivana was a wonderful housesitter. Our very energetic dog got taken on lots of walks and was very happy. House was very clean and tidy on our return including, bed remade and sheets hanging on the line. Plants had been watered inside and out.
Really good communication with regular updates re our dog, thank you
Would definitely recommend and would love her to housesit again

This house sit didn't go ahead - I cancelled it because of adverse weather conditions on the West Coast where I was going. However Ivana has housesat for me before and would have been awesome! I will definitely be asking her again!

Ivana was really friendly and enthusiastic about looking after Jasper (and was disappointed I took Bert on holiday with me!). The house was tidier than when I left, she had watered the garden and the cat was very happy. Highly recommended and I would love to have Ivana again whenever possible!

This was our first time using House Sitters and Ivana was lovely. A great communicator who looked after our house and three ginger cats as well as we could have wished for. When we arrived home the house was spotless and all three cats were happy and relaxed. This was a great effort by Ivana as one of our buys is normally very skittish and afraid around people he doesnt know.
We would recommend Ivana whole heartedly and would certainly use her again in the future.

Amazing house sitter even sent photos of the pets. Would use again in a heartbeat.
TATIANA (Hornby South Island, Aug 2023 - 3 nights)
Thor was very happy and healthy when we returned. Ivana left the house neat and tidy just as she found it and didn't seem to even use our stuff at all even though she knew she was welcome to anything. She was lovely to deal with and I will call on her again in the future. Thanks Ivana!

Ivana took such excellent care of our cat and dog that they barely seemed to have missed us when we returned after 3 weeks away! The house was also beautifully clean and tidy -- a delight to come home to :-)
From our first conversation it was clear that Ivana is a very experienced sitter. She asked lots of well-informed questions, was attentive to the specific needs of our animals and home, and very willing to adapt to our situation.

Ivana has now looked after our fury kids on two occasions and has been incredibly accommodating and flexible in making herself available for us. The care and attention that she has provided for Tahi (2yr old) and Link (16yr old) both large dogs has been nothing short of awesome, she has looked after them and their individual needs with so much care and attention.

OLIVIA (Stoke South Island, Feb 2022 - 2 days)
Ivana was the perfect house sit for us and took amazing care of our cat Momo. She first of all really saved us after our original sit pulled out last minute, so we were very grateful for that. Care of the house, our cat and plants was exceptional, with everything in perfect order when we got back. Momo was very well cared for in our absence and Ivana was always filling us in on how he was doing, which was great. The house was lovely and clean when we arrived home, couldn't ask for anything more.
SOPHIE (Sumner South Island, Jan 2022 - 1 week)
Ivana was the perfect housesitter for our 3 dogs and 1 cat. She looked after them all very well and kept us informed with photos and texts. She even walked them all together on her own which can be a bit of a challenge! Excellent communication, we will call on her services again.
KAREN (Somerfield South Island, Apr 2021 - 4 days)
Ivana was a fantastic house sitter. She looked after our cat with loving attention and kept us informed of how things were going nearly every day. The house was spotless on our return. Highly recommended.
HELGA (Picton South Island, Mar 2021 - 2 weeks)
Excellent communication before and during the housesit and updates of how our cat was doing including photos (which we really appreciated). House left very clean and tidy and linen laundered. Recommended!
PAUL (St Martins South Island, Dec 2020 - 1 week)
I had the best experience with Ivana. We had our hot water cylinder burst 5 days prior to her stay. While everything had dried, the house was not it's usual tidy self and we needed a plumber to attend during her stay. Ivana was extremely understanding and helpful. Would have her back in a heartbeat.
ANNA (Addington South Island, Nov 2020 - 2 days)
Ivans was amazing. Our house was spotless and both our pets were so happy. We would definitely have her again and happily recommend
CHERIE (Richmond South Island, Oct 2020 - 3 days)
Ivana looked after our home and cat while we were on holiday in Australia.
She was amazing and we would have no hesitation in recommending her to look after your home and pets.
She showed kindnes to our cat Emma and went out of her way to keep her company.
The house and plants were well cared for too.
A lovely lady and we would have her back in a flash.
