Maxine and Eddie 🌻🌻

69, Retired

68, Retired gardener

Retired couple from the UK, travelling in New Zealand visiting our daughter. We’ve always had cats and tropical fish as pets, also happy to look after small dogs and farm animals. We’re keen gardeners so happy to get stuck into any maintenance that’s required.

Maxine and Eddy were the most amazing, caring and thoughtful pet sitters you could ask for. They looked after our dog and cat as if they were their own and treated our house with the utmost respect. Communications were great with regular updates and even videos. Eddie is very talented and voluntarily fixed a couple of things for us and also painted a lovely picture of our dog. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Thanks so much Gill. It was a pleasure and so much fun looking after Alfie and Smudge. x
Maxine and Eddie were exceptional housesitters. Our two whippets were well cared for, which made our time away worry free. Eddie sent us videos and photos of the dog walks and resting time. They assisted us with some jobs around the house including gardening. They are friendly, clean and very considerate and have some great stories to share. We highly recommend Eddie and Maxine as housesiiter. and be assured that your home and pets will be well cared for. Steve and Joanne

Maxine and Eddie were absolutely marvelous. They are an amazingly beautiful warm couple. They looked after our two doggies perfectly. Walked every day to many different locations. Our doggies diffinately grew to love there new companions. They communication was fantastic, many three minute videos of the walks they had together. The garden was left very tidy and the roses were pruned The house was immaculate and perfectly clean. Anyone having Maxine and Eddie look after their house and doggies ... MORE

Thanks again Rosalina and David for choosing us to look after your beautiful boys. We so enjoyed our time in your lovely home and our fun walks with Marty and Charlie x
Maxine and Eddie did a fantastic job of looking after our two boys while we were away for 3.5wks. We received plenty of text updates (not too many!) and Eddie sent lots of photos and really great videos of the dogs out for walks and having fun. Maxine and Eddie met with us ahead of the sit and were very careful to understand the running of the house and the dogs likes and routines. We would highly recommend them and would love to have them back to sit for us again.
 
JANET (Panmure North Island, Apr 2024 - 3 weeks)
Maxine and Eddie looked after our home, garden and pets for 11 days. When I advertised, I had a lot of responses but knew they would be ideal and after meeting them, felt confident that they were right for us. As new dog owners, we had not left Aggie before but were reassured by the reviews and on meeting them. Eddie sent videos of Aggie through Messenger and we could see she was having a great time. Our cat Tsar made himself scarce so they didn't get to meet him. The house was clean ... MORE
 
BARBARA (Upper Moutere South Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
Maxine and Eddie were wonderful housesitters. Our animals were so happy in their care, I’m not sure our dog even missed us! We had been working on loose lead walking with our dog before we went away, and they continued this (even far exceeded our attempts) so we came back to a better behaved dog than what we left! We got beautiful video and message updates during our time away, which was so reassuring for us. Our house was beautifully cared for and tidy and clean when we returned. Maxine was ... MORE

Maxine and Eddie were so fantastic! They looked after my two cats sooo well and my large garden thrived in their care. They have great communication skills and sent video updates of my babies while I was away. Very happy to recommend. So grateful they were available to stay and look after my place.
 
JESSIE (Wakefield South Island, Dec 2023 - 4 weeks)
Maxine and Eddie are kind and caring people who gave my poodles lots of love. I was delighted to receive videos of all three dogs including the rather shy little Rosie cuddling up on the couch with their new friend Maxine. Another video of all three romping about on the beach and in the sea as happy as can be during their off-lead walks was a treat to watch. Eddie was happy to drive me to and from the airport. His skill in fixing things meant that I came back to find some very helpful ... MORE
 
JOY (Waikawa Beach North Island, Nov 2023 - 1 week)
I was a bit worried about leaving my dog Tilley for the first time. Soon as I met Eddie & Maxine I was put at ease. They are such lovely caring people and took great care of her, lots of walks & cuddles and Eddie even painted a picture of her, it is just like looking at a photo. So talented. Maxine got me a gift also for my garden. They treated our home with respect and was all clean and tidy. Felt as I had known them all my life. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for future ... MORE
