Martin and Madeline took great care of my elderly small dog and looked after my house very well, Martin also spent time in the garden and made some improvements. Thanks for being great housesitters, highly recommended.

Madeline was a fabulous housesitter for my Cockatiel Charlie and my home. Her communication was regular and prompt and she clearly had fun and enjoyed Charlie’s company. My home was left beautifully clean and tidy on my return. I would have no hesitation in recommended Madeline and Martin as Housesitters. Thankyou Leanne
 
LEANNE (Westmorland South Island, Oct 2024 - 2 nights)
This was a complex sit as it was for over 3 months and we were away at the start and the finish so never met Martin and Madeline. Also Madeline had just had an operation which made mobility limiting for her. Martin and Madeline were great. On our return after 3 months we were amazed how calm and settled our dog was. Molly was happy, well groomed and very calm. Amazing. The house was spotless and no damage after 3 months which is testament to Martin and Madeline's standard of care. The garden ... MORE
 
ANTHEA (Cashmere South Island, Sep 2024 - 2 months 2 weeks)
Martin and Madeline are a warm and friendly couple who took the time to visit us 2 weeks prior to our departure and arrived to housesit just as we were leaving for our holiday. It made us feel happy to leave our home and animals in their care. They did what we asked of them which was checking the goats daily. They left the house exceptionally tidy even going that extra mile by mowing the grass which was not part of their requirement. We would not hesitate to recommend them for a ... MORE

Madeline & Martin cared for your animals & looked after our house for 2 weeks while we were overseas. We found the house the way we left it. Very clean trustworthy kind couple. We have two dogs & one of them is a pure bred young Heading dog who is 100% deaf. They cared for him & Mia the other dog as if they were their own & the dogs must have loved all the attention. We are very thankful to them. Wishing them all the best Alain & Wendy
 
ALAIN (Blenheim South Island, Jul 2024 - 2 weeks 2 nights)
Martin and Madeline were fantastic! They contacted us well before the house sit and made time to visit us and meet Tess and Tui. This certainly put us at ease that we were leaving our precious pets in the hands of lovely people. They understood an elderly dog's needs. During our vacation they kept in contact and sent us updates. Once we got home it was very clear Tess and Tui and our home were very well looked after. We highly recommend them as excellent house sitters and carers and would only ... MORE
 
MARIJKE (Ashley South Island, Mar 2024 - 3 months)
Martin and Madeline were wonderful house sitters. We knew our 8 dogs and chickens were in great hands, and they left the house immaculate, as well as the lawns mowed and they’d looked after the garden too. We would welcome them back to our home anytime.
 
MAREE (Greta Valley South Island, Jan 2024 - 1 week 6 nights)
Martin and Madeline were excellent house sitters, we really appreciated their regular communication in the lead up and they took great care of our young dogs - including our recently adopted anxious dog who takes time to warm up. We came home to a clean house and happy, relaxed dogs.
 
MEGAN (Cass Bay South Island, Jan 2024 - 4 nights)
Martin & Madeline were delightful house & dog sitters. They kept in contact from the moment of confirming our house sit, right up until we met them in person. They care very much about your animals and your house. They arrived for the sit on time & we ran them through the briefing sheet and answered any questions. During our holiday we received updates and only 1 or two questions about how to run the house. Rocco our dog took a few days to bond with Martin & Madeline but soon settled in ... MORE
 
GRANT (Jacks Point South Island, Dec 2023 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Martin and Madeline were our very first kiwisitters and they were absolutely great. Our Poochie was well looked after and I did wonder if her affection for me had been lost to Martin! The house was beautifully clean and tidy to come home to. Tho not requested the lawns were mowed, vegies watered and even new lettuces and basil planted in the garden. They were very intuitive to your needs and I would highly recommend.
